Ray returned to Oxford’s Holywell Room with a totally acoustic preview of his then forthcoming album \u2018Tales of Love, War and Death by Hanging<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ray gave only 3 preview shows before joining Oysterband for their tours of Denmark and Canada, in March and April 2010. The solo shows were in Rugby, Oxford and Sweden.<\/p>\n

At these shows, Ray accompanied himself on cello and guitar (but not both at the same time!). The wonderful acoustics of the Holywell Room allowed him to perform without any amplification.<\/p>\n

This was a rare opportunity to see Ray perform in the intimate setting of the oldest surviving public music room in Europe, built in the 1740’s for natural music.<\/p>\n
