Enfant, il faisait partie d'un chœur, comme baryton, mais sa voix mua à 16 ans. Des lors, il prit des leçons de piano, mais cela ne lui plut pas. Alors il choisit d'apprendre la guitare. Il joua avec le chanteur Nick Wade et plus tard, avec un groupe dénommé les Mixers. Puis il devint le guitariste de la dernière mouture de The Nips, le groupe de Shane MacGowan.

Fearnley vendit sa guitare et passa un an à écrire un roman. En 1982, MacGowan et Jem Finer cherchaient un accordéoniste pour leur dernier projet. MacGowan savait que Fearnley avait pris des leçons de piano et croyait qu'il serait aussi capable de jouer de l'accordéon. Finer alla à l'appartement de Fearnley avec un accordéon dans un sac de linge sale et le convainquit de faire un essai. Fearnley fut surnommé 'maestro' parce qu'il savait écouter les instruments.

En 1989, il se maria avec l'actrice Danielle von Zerneck et acheta une maison à Los Angeles, Californie. Il quitta les Pogues en 1994.

. Fearnley left The Pogues in 1994 due to the band's heavy touring schedule, to spend more time with his family. However, he has since played with the band on several reunion tours.

The group then consisted of Shane MacGowan (vocals), Shanne Bradley (bassist) and Jon Moss (drummer). When the Nips disbanded at the end of 1980, Fearnley joined the soul band The Giants. Fearnley was asked by Moss if he wanted to become a permanent member of a band in which he sometimes played, Culture Club. Due to a misunderstanding, Fearnley never joined Culture Club, and shortly after this the band went on to fame.

He became a member of The Low And Sweet Orchestra, which released their debut album of spaghetti western-styled ballads Goodbye To All That in 1996. This group also consisted of former Thelonious Monster vocalist Mike Martt, Circle Jerks' Zander Schloss (guitar), the brothers Kieran and Dermot Mulroney (violins, cello, dobro), Tom Barta (bass) and Will Hughes (drums).

Fearnley has also appeared as a guest musician on albums with Talking Heads (Naked), David Byrne, LILT and Melissa Etheridge (Yes I Am).

Fearnley now plays accordion, guitar, foot-operated snare drum and sings with Cranky George, [1], 'a band of one-man-bands' with Dermot Mulroney (cello, guitar, mandolin, foot-operated cymbal and hi-hat, and vocals), Kieran Mulroney (violin, ukuleles, guitars, foot-operated cowbell) and Brad Wood (bass, hat-box bass-drum and vocals).
