Created in 1971, the fondly remembered thirteen episode BBC TV series Fingerbobs invited children to imagine the minimally augmented gloves of the Canadian folk musician Rick Jones were a host of vivid characters, most famously the ebullient felt rodent Fingermouse.
The dedicated pop-cultural archivist Johnny Trunk has assembled and polished the series’ previously unreleased original music – no masters exist – into a set of twenty-one miniatures.
Acoustic guitar and woodwind evoke the respective characters of these timelessly totemic puppets, the song of the depressive but resilient Yiddish tortoise, Flash, offering a curiously coherent philosophy for life.
