Event information

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…

John Ellis has worked with many UK artists including:
THE STRANGLERS
PETER HAMMILL
PETER GABRIEL
