Ray & The Rayguns
Ray and the Rayguns sing the B-side: the under-the-radar gems that celebrate resilience. Blues songs. Honed simplicity, carefully crafted, that’s where the beauty sits.

Born in Galway, Ray O’Farrell brings the Irish gift for storytelling to blues. He knows how to inhabit a song.
Rob Andrew’s steady finger playing grounds this group. A guitar nerd. He loves guitars and guitar playing. Rob, how many guitars do you need? ‘One more’.
Eamonn O’Farrell is unbound by convention. He is about the feel, driven by soul. He does the colour, contrast and tone.

“Ray and the Rayguns play blues – obscure songs – driven by a rhythmical thumb pattern and melodic treble. You will walk away laughing, enriched, humming”. See less
