“The melodeon players’ melodeon player. They all watch him. Fresh from Squeezing Shropshire Ray is the man with a squeezebox full of tunes.” Music on the Marr.

“We really enjoyed your gig in the Village Hall and were particularly moved by ‘Far More Than I Can Say” Geoff Court.

“We especially enjoyed watching Ray perform. We all wished the set had been longer.”Sue, Rob, Holly and Graham Hoskins.

“It was really good to hear Ray perform at Towersey”.Fee Lock.

A measure of the esteem that other musicians have for Ray was Brian Bell’s response when approached to perform on Ray’s CD. Brian’s response was simply: “I’d be honoured to”.

“…..as far as I can recall the first ever solo album from such and eminence grise of the folk world, and especially for one with the true ability to entertain and inform, and who has never before been published. Back in the dim distant last decade of the 20th century, I took up melodeon, and Ray together with Frank Lee and John Kirkpatrick were my muses and inspiration.  Ray is a virtuoso player of both melodeon, in all its forms, one two and three row, and concertina.” Dougie Darter CD review for Music on the Marr.
