Starting off her music career in the much loved
‘Makin’ Time’ and then following this success she went into MEDWAY’S
FINEST “THE PRIME MOVERS’ with her then husband ’Graham Day’. After
the break-up of this mighty band, Fay started her own band….. Our
expectations were high on the release….. And quite rightly so!
The arrangements are mostly reminiscent of late’60s
post-mod soulful stuff, be it the heavier “afterglow” of The Small
Faces mid’60s stuff (Stand Up), some of Brian Auger’s Julie
Driscoll-featured stuff (Hills Of The North, Same Skin), big beat
balladry (In The Fire, Free) or just plain upbeat rawking (Always
The Sky). Occasionally, she also gets into the more conventional pop
area, as heard in White Horses, which might even garner some
mainstream airplay, if given a proper chance, and of course, when it
comes to Hammond-based line ups, there’s always some space to be
found for an instro or two, which Fay fills out with two pretty cool
dance floor fillers.
