Ray was a huge influence on my singing. Lots of brilliant memories of her at festivals and gigs over the years. Playing the very out of tune piano upstairs in the Unionist Club in Copshie (Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival)and gein' it laldie; and this at some ridiculous time of the morning. Just brilliant. Her appearence at the Ballad club in Glasgow last year where she was the special guest was fantastic. My condolences to Colin and all the family.
