Bill Fay
Real Name: | William Fay |

Profile: | UK-based singer, songwriter and pianist, who began writing in the early 1960s while studying at university and in 1966 recorded a demo using the mobile studio of John Boden. Impressed by the demo, ex-Them drummer Terry Noon helped Fay to sign a recording contract with Decca. Between 1967 and 1971 the label released a single (Some Good Advice / Screams In The Ears) and two albums (the lush, orchestrated eponymous debut and the rawer Bill Fay - Time Of The Last Persecution). Unfortunately, these recordings did not sell well and Decca decided to end Bill’s contract shortly after the release of Bill Fay - Time Of The Last Persecution. He returned to the studio in the late 1970s to record a third album, which finally emerged in January 2005 on Durtro/Jnana Records (entitled Bill Fay Group - Tomorrow Tomorrow And Tomorrow, credited to the Bill Fay Group). In 2004, Wooden Hill released Bill Fay - From The Bottom Of An Old Grandfather Clock (A Collection Of Demos And Outtakes 1966-70) - a collection of demos recorded between 1966 and 1970 (plus one recorded in 2000).
