The event, which has been organised by Ray’s friends will feature music from a host of local acts, including members of Ray’s band Revolver Jimmy Hemmings and Martin Pooley.

Compered by music journalist Kris Needs, the event will be a celebration of local music hero Ray’s life, and his love of music.
