Bill Fay

Bill Fay (1943-2024) was a British singer-songwriter whose deeply introspective folk compositions influenced generations of musicians despite remaining largely underground for decades. He released two acclaimed albums on Deram Records in the early 1970s - his self-titled debut (1970) and Time of the Last Persecution (1971) - before retreating from the music industry for over four decades. His haunting piano melodies, philosophical lyrics, and distinctive fragile vocal style created a unique sound that bridged folk, baroque pop, and chamber music
