Bio
Born and raised in the East Antrim port town of Larne in Northern Ireland. Music was always in the family from an early age, from playing the flute in the local band at age 6, singing round the parlour fire with his old man and brothers, then learning guitar and starting to sing the beautiful Irish folk ballads, influenced by the likes of Paul Brady, Christy Moore and Planxty. Mixed up? Probably, but that's the way Irish music should be, it's all 'our' music, from all sides. The love of the sea was probably sublimibly there from an early age and grown as the years have passed. Moves to the Scots town of Stonehaven, Broadstairs in Kent and recently, Catalonia in Spain, always close to the sea. From taking 4 years to completey rebuild a Scottish fishing boat into a lovely gaff rigged cutter back in 1998, to recently aquiring another sail boat in Spain, a 35 foot 'Young Sun', again a cutter rig. Four albums have been released so far, the latest 'And Then the Birds in Spring Again' is available at www.raymoorefolk.com and features the usual mix of traditional, contempory and songs of the sea, some written by Ray. Perhaps more than anything, has been his pursuit of the perfect simple lifestyle of living on his sail boat and earning a living from music. This dream is almost there, could it be 2010? Well, if enough people buy a CD, it will be! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. -

Hey Ray, enjoyed the gig the other week. One of the other guys I play with Keith you met, www.myspace.com/keithmeisner1. Most of the recording on there are a bit sketchy and songs not completed, very plain, but hopefully the new full versions will be up soon.
Hope all's going well. - Dennis1 year ago
