I wish to clarify I am looking for the strap on appendage version.
(As is the story of my life.....)

Okay. I admit it. I was Noseybonk from the Seventies children's television programme, Jigsaw.

I have never managed to find a pair of Funk Fingers in the UK. Mail ordering from Levin's Papa Bear web shop is hit and miss. The fingers are manufactured in modest batches that sell out almost as soon as they are announced. By the time that I am aware of them, they are unavailable again.
There used to be a Japanese website that explained how to make your own Funk Fingers from old drumsticks. Shaping the wood is easy enough. The velcro finger straps need to be long enough to be firmly tightened up. The stumbling block has always been the coating material.
You can see them here. As I said, my pal is a massive Levin fan....

Great video that!
That backing band...OMG!!
The guitarist is David Rhodes- who wrote the legendary Life's What You Make it lick for Talk Talk.
Manu Katsche on drums too.

Listen to Running Up That Hill and Life's What You Make It back to back.
David only worked as a tour guitarist with KB, not in studio.

With their album The Colour Of Spring almost complete, Talk Talk's record company insisted that it needed a hit single. "Something similar to Running Up That Hill." Hollis went home for the weekend and wrote exactly that to get the A&R people off his back.
Sample the drum machine patterns at the beginning of the two songs. Tempo match them. Spot the similarities.
