I am also a stong supporter of the arts. All arts. my family is full af artists, picture, dance and music. There is also a stong anit art movement in my family. Yes a true clash of ideology.

About me: Singer, song writer, performer and independent recording artist.
Col Ray has 5 albums out and more on their way.
He has a raw old school sound and style of music that sits between Mississippi’s Mountain Country (such as Rufus Thomas Jnr. & R L Burnside) to Chicago’s House Rock’n’ Blues (Hound Dog Taylor & Little Ed & The Blues Imperials).
Hi music has been described as “Good rootsy energy and plenty of attack. Attractive hoarse vocals full of personality and feeling” by Bruce Iglauer. Founder of Alligator Records Chicago Ill.
Hi music has been played on radio stations around the world. Col Ray’s cover of Tiger Man (Rufus Thomas) went to # 4 on the pop charts in Denmark in 2002 from being played on “It’s Roots Time” out of Belgium.
Tiger Man also went to # 9 in South America on an Argentine radio program “Good Time Blues”.
Col Ray has had national TV and radio air play in Australia. Both Rage ABC TV and Noise TV SBS had played his film clip “Freight Train”
His music has also been played on WXRT FM Chicago Ill. One of the oldest blues radio programs in the world.
Col Ray is a blues historian and consultant for the ABC and can be heard from time to time in the different states of Australia talking air on matters of the music, its history and relation to current issues.
Col Ray is a member of the Sydney Blues Society and has performed in their Blues Performer Of The Year Competition. As well as playing at some of their functions.
Col Ray is also a member of the Blues Foundation Memphis TN. This foundation runs the W C Handy’s each year. As Col Ray is a published blues musician this gives him the right to vote each year in the awards.
Col Ray also subscribes to the University of Memphis towards the conservation and preservation of the famous wire recordings of the old blues masters held by the National Libery of Congress
Col Ray plays a number of festivals around NSW on a regular basis as well as many venues in the Riverina, Illawarra, Greater Sydney, Central Coast and Hunter Valley.
In early 2006 Col Ray was the subject of a film documentary titled. “The Price of the Blues” By Damian Neil, who also filmed his music film clip Freight Train.

Oops, that other comment was supposed to be from ME. Sometimes I forget who I am and who I am meant to be, but you already know that. Keep the music coming and keep making me confused!!!!! :)
Where you expecting the usual post-gig comment from me? Sorry, I was a bit slow. Fantastic as usual, I had a great time, is so good to have some music to dance to again. Keep those creative juices flowing. :)
Hey Col, good catchin up at the servo the other night with simmsy - we should write a weekly comumn with the topics we covered. Hope you and ROya can make it on the 19th Clint
If you don't listen to me - I'll cut your ears with this stick next time - coz my baby canines are getting ready to fall out. Besides, the stick is blunt it'll hurt more. So next time you hear me at the door, whimpering to ask you to let me in out of the cold - you'll do it won't ya!
Hi there, Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and I hope all is well with you. Bad luck if you need any hemming done now though ;) Best wishes for the day and rest of the year. Hoochie Kate
Thanks for supporting Bidgee Blues Club. You are a very important part of the local Blues scene and we really do appreciate all you have done. Thank You :)
Ok so I got my lemon tree. See that's what happens when you go to CHURCH?? Now if someone mentioned this to me earlier on in life I'd go freakishly pious on your asse too. No, you may not pee on the lemon tree! I'll let the future dogs do that. You'll scare the school kids! Publically I forgot to say Happy New Year Baby Mo'dig - and Elliot's ethics SUCKS!
Wishing you and Roya a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. I hope all your dreams for the future will be fulfilled. Take care and I look forward to seeing you somewhere in the not too distant future. lotsa love :)
Thanks for the great music last night. Didnt realise how much I needed a live Col Ray fix until I got there. Was a great pick-me-up that I needed with all the difficult stuff going on in my life at the moment. Stay cool, xoo :)
