Настоящее имя: Bill Fay
Об исполнителе:
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 [m276578]). Unfortunately, these recordings did not sell well and Decca decided to end Bill’s contract shortly after the release of [m276578]. 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 [m137898], credited to the Bill Fay Group). In 2004, Wooden Hill released 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). After not releasing any newly recorded material for over four decades - aside from abovmentioned track from 2000 - Bill recorded an album at home in 2009, first released in 2010 as part of Still Some Light. He then released a new album of original material in 2012, titled [m465262]. This was followed in 2015 by another new album, [m820371]. Bill’s many fans include country rockers Wilco, songwriter/producer Jim O'Rourke, Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance and David Tibet of Current 93.
