"Fay White is a highly sought-after, acclaimed singing facilitator, singer and song-maker, who has worked tirelessly for 30 years to bring the experience of group singing into the lives of people and communities Australia wide. She developed the concept of Vocal Nosh, and has been delighting groups of singers and audiences alike with both her leadership and performance of original and carefully chosen songs, for decades." - J T
“ I know Fay as a songsmith of delicate and precise artistry. She has a strong high voice that ranges from subtle delicacy to uplifting strength. Fay is one of the very few people who can write ‘inward’ songs about the psyche without descending into vapid sentiment or cliché". - John Warner, Cornstalk Gazette
“Fay White is a poet of our times. For the past 30 years she has written songs that reflect and inform contemporary living. Fay’s singing compels and inspires. She can turn a crowd into a choir in three minutes.” - Therese Virtue - The Boite
"Fay White is well-known & loved for the series of recordings she has produced in recent years. She has a truly exceptional voice and her singing workshops have a reputation for being very refreshing & great fun". - Les Langmead, Wodonga.
Fay has recorded or produced a dozen albums of songs, about half of them for children. She performs in a wide variety of settings as a soloist and in the duo "Songs with Legs" with singer song-writer and multi-instrumentalist Jane Thompson. Fay's most recent CDs are "These People This Place: everyday grace", a retrospective album, and an introductory "Songs with Legs" CD with Jane.
Fay often works as song-writer in residence for community arts projects such as the project with The Grampians-Gariwerd community in Victoria following the bushfires of 2006 which resulted in 6 new songs, a community choir and a CD. She has worked as a "Song Rhymer" in schools to re-establish classroom singing as a normal part of every child’s day, and to make a contribution to language, literacy and co-operative behaviour in the classroom. She and arranger Wendy Rowlands have produced a songbook collection of contemporary Aussie songs for choirs titled "Alive and Singing" (Click on Alive and Singing in subject bar above for info on this).
