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 six 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".
