Queen of the Vidal bob hair-do, Fay Hallam paid her rock dues
fronting bands like The Prime Movers, Phaze, The Fay Hallam Trinity
and Makin' Time (with a pre- Charlatans Martin Blunt). She has
worked with Billy Childish, Graham Day, Alan Crockford and The
Bongolian, and has toured the UK and Europe extensively.
2016 finds
Fay having recorded possibly her strongest album to date; produced by
Paul Weller collaborator Andy Lewis, House Of Now is a collection of
progressive torch songs and filmic funk, ambitious and groovy; her
rhythm & blues inspiration still very apparent but fused with a
theatre-land soul reminiscent of musical freak-fests like Godspell,
Superstar or Hair.
All songs are written by Fay except for His Name Is King, a big
band gospel arrangement by Luis Bacalov, rediscovered by Quentin
Tarantino for his spaghetti film soundtrack, Django
Unchained.
Curious and conceptual, House Of Now is a timely fusion of
Fay Hallam's music and Musical influences.
Available from Well Suspect Records.
