Just William but I get by with a little help from my friends (and family).
Sounds Like
"A very cool mini album - self reflective, calm and poignant all at the same time – make sure you give it a chance -perhaps a cult following will ensue!"
Chris Watson - Glasswerk
"There’s sonic diversity, strong melodies, intelligent lyrics and performances that showcase Gray’s smooth vocal quality and range. In short, I’m hearing potential to go much further."
Tony Porter - Shakenstir
"The voice and writing may bind the package but the contents are as intriguing as they are variant. 'None Of The Above' is both a tuneful and eclectic mix."
Andrew Lockwood - All Gigs
"Self-written and self-produced, the debut mini album by William Gray is a real gem. This is quite an achievement bearing in mind it is increasingly difficult to find something orginal from the singer/songwriter scene."
Jonathan Leonard - Leonard's Lair
"A charming mix of appealing instrumentation fuelling the leftfield scenario."
Mandy Williams - Subba Cultcha
"It's clear that this is the eclectic and idiosyncratic ramblings of an effortlessly talented songwriter."
William Gray was a founding member of The Smokestacks.
Popular on their home turf of Leeds but unable to break through nationally, The Smokestacks’ official releases sadly only ever amounted to two singles.
Despite limited recorded output, the band played on BBC Radio, were featured on numerous compilations and gigged all over the country before playing their final show in December 2008.
Feeling like the search for the right producer and label had seen his former group lose valuable time and momentum, May 2009 saw the speedy release of ‘None of the Above,’ a “mini album” written, recorded, produced and released by Gray himself.
Reaction to the album has proven extremely positive with reviewers drawing comparisons with such respected songwriters as Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, Badly Drawn Boy and Damon Albarn.

anyway, let me know if you fancy it - local bands / acts will naturally dominate the night, but note the early start!
