Event information
We are delighted to welcome punk icon Fay Fife and her new band, The Countess Of Fife, to 50rpm for the first time.
** We operate a no telking policy when the acts are performing. If you can't manage this, don't buy a ticket **
The Countess Of Fife is a bewildering gritty alt-country punk fusion fronted by the iconic Fay Fife of punk legends The Rezillos. For this stripped back band show, Fay will be joined by Brian McFie of The Big Dish & Kirsten Adamson, outsatnding songwriter in her own right and daughter of Big Country's Stuart Adamson.
"Insurgent alt country outfit led by legendary Rezillos’ frontwoman Fay Fife. Think of the Cramps meeting Johnny Cash."
"Urban grit combined with a touch of punk and soulful, tender melodies, taking the genre to the warped frontiers of a 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, as well as hope and spirituality. 5 piece band including special guest Kirsten Adamson."
