Fay Fife brings her insurgent alt-country band, The Countess of Fife, to London for the first time, supported by the irrepressible John Ellis.
THE COUNTESS OF FIFE
The Countess of Fife is the new insurgent alt-country outfit led by Fay Fife from The Rezillos.
Fay Fife writes from the heart… Of humanity, love, birth, life, death, and all things in between – with earthy lyrics grounded in a mature woman’s perspective.
The Countess delivers… Melody! Harmony! A whole load of soul, and some downright rambunctiousness! All in a unique, eclectic, country-orientated style.
These songs are songs that resonate with our times.
Fay Fife (of the Rezillos) channels urban, vintage but timeless vibes, “…coming on like a Celtic Ronnie Spector…”
Fiona Shepherd, Sample of Talent, The Scotsman Magazine, 26/11/22 .
Think of The Cramps, meeting Johnny Cash, in an unholy alchemy of country, punk and gospel.
Fay’s glorious vocals are rich, dark and powerful, creating a perfect storm to play with your emotions…
