The Countess of Fife
Fay Fife will be joined by some of Scotland's finest musicians when 5-piece outfit The Countess of Fife perform at Cabaret Voltaire on Friday 7th June!
About The Countess of Fife
Alt Country outfit led by legendary Rezillos’ frontwoman Fay Fife.
Urban grit combined with a touch of punk and soulful, tender melodies, takes the alt country genre to warped frontiers of previously unheard terrain. Fay’s authentic, original lyrics, mellifluous vocals and out-there stage presence combine in an unholy alchemy of alt country, punk and a touch of gospel. Songs about life, sadness and badness, hope and spirituality.
‘Its as if punk never died, just grew up’ Rocking Magpie
The Countess of Fife debut album Star of the Sea was released on Last Night From Glasgow in June 2023. Glowing reviews included 4 stars in The Scotsman, and a top 10 position in the official UK charts. It’s been sold out for months! A re-release on CD and vinyl with a special bonus track is scheduled for summer 2024 (also on Last Night From Glasgow) while the band works on the follow up.
The Countess of Fife is a 5 piece band featuring some of Scotland’s finest musicians - Kirsten Adamson (daughter of the late Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids)), Brian McFie (who played with Marianne Faithfull) on lead guitar, Al Gare (Imelda May and Jeff Beck) on double bass, Willy Molleson (Eliza Carthy Band).on drums, with Fay upfront on vocals and keys.
