Fay Hallam Trinity
60's Hammond Beat & Soul, Bossa Nova, Northern Soul & 70's Grooves!
The Forum are extremely proud to announce that The Fay Hallam Trinity will be playing on Friday 6th December.
The support will be local heroes Weekend Sun with DJ slots from Neil Massey and Tom Crawford.
Fay Hallam's last album with The Bongolian 'Lost In Sound' was mixed by Miles Clarke (The Who / Pete Townsend engineer). It was highly regarded and appeared on a lot of '2012 albums of the year' lists including Blues & Soul and Vive Le Rock! magazines.
Fay Hallam, originally from Wolverhampton, a long time exponent of 60's style beat and pop, has performed in acts such as Makin' Time (which also included a pre-The Charlatans Martin Blunt) to The Prime Movers and Phaze. Over the years she has worked with Billy Childish, Graham Day, Alan Crockford and other luminaries of the Medway scene where she lived for 17 years. She has toured the UK and Europe extensively over the years, in one guise or another and is a respected musician around the world. A prolific songwriter, she has made over 9 albums.
Fay's choice of instruments include mainly old Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hammond C3 keyboards and other vintage equipment, mixing things up with some cool cinematic synth sounds.
So on Friday 6th December, get ready to get Lost in Sound...
