[Shenelle]

Grrrr i just realised I booked my flights to come back on 2nd :( and I wont be flying again :(

[cirrol]

I might catch his gig on the 4th, depends how good he is with Missy!
WoooT for 18ness!

[Mickey]

If he did a show one week after the show in sydney, and it was in Brisbane... I'd probably go.

If you haven't had the opportunity to see Ray live, I highly suggest doing so. His music is excellent and it of course just added another element seeing him up there on stage playing his songs. I was fortunate enough that he opened for Dave Matthews Band when I saw them last month and I really enjoyed what I saw of Ray more than I did of DMB.

Hey, has there been a thread about Ray's music instead of his gigs?? Anyway, if not.. i thought i'd start. Ray's cd is awesome. I particularly like the opening track Trouble and Burn

[Cactus]

Hey,
I'd like to go to his gig, but don't think I can get anymore time off work.

Im going to see him at the melbourne missy gig, Im coming up especially for him!
Pity he isn't doing the Tassie gig!

Performing songs from his 2004 debut album Trouble, Ray's distinctive raspy voice (often likened to that of Van Morrison and Tim Buckley) promises to entrance Australian audiences.



"There’s a certain enjoyment in writing a song, just being by yourself in writing. It’s a whole other thing when you’re performing its like church; it’s a religious thing. It’s like church, it’s sharing, and communicating; that can be a really beautiful thing."

Ray’s music has a timeless quality. He cites his influences as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Ray Charles and Otis Redding. His style could be described as ‘folk’ music, however it may be more aptly described as storytelling with an acoustic guitar. "Music is something that I want to do, that I have to do. I have to do it, it’s the way that I express
myself."

Critics are full of praise for Ray:
“There is something about him that has the potential to make him a bigger name than anybody else in the game right now.” Lumino Magazine
“Imagine, if you will, David Gray were he raised in the wilderness by grizzly bears.” - Herald Sun.
“Every word finds its way out of somewhere way down deep. Every story is lived, experienced and real, almost frighteningly real at points.” – Left Lion

Tickets are on sale from 1ST SEPTEMBER, 9AM

Tickets will cost $27.50 + BF

[Hinny]

I'm heading out to get tix in the next coupla days. Moshtix can be confusing for people who haven't used the system before, so if you're up for the Sydney Gaelic Club show, PM me or just leave a message here.
