Ray Hearne
Singer/song writer and poet Ray
Hearne is no ordinary songwriter.
He relishes language, rolls it around
his tongue and unleashes a jubilant
jumble of images, words, rhymes
and couplets all fighting for space
in his songs. Who else could sing
words like ‘prestidigitate’, ‘fettler’
and ‘runaroundabout town lad’ and
make it sound like the angels came to
Wath-on-Dearne?
