The name Ray Heffernan is well known throughout Ireland and the UK due to many recent TV appearances. He has become widely regarded as one of Europe’s top acoustic performers, and talk of his lyrics and melodies is snowballing into an avalanche of critical acclaim.

Born in Dublin, Heffernan left Ireland at 17 to study Musical Therapy in Northern France, where he worked for 6 years with Children with Autism in this study of basic communication. He now applies this craft to the songs he writes today, using simple sing-along melodies to tackle major social issues, with lyrics and depth of knowledge that belie his 33 years.

This year sees the release of “In My Own Time”, a collection of songs and videos, written and recorded over three years, in five European countries, and in six languages. From the achingly beautiful "Sexy Little Secrets", a love song which has drawn comparisons to Gainsbourgh, to the Dylanesque protest of "No More Peace", a scathing attack at the Bush regime, this album is a cross-section of song-writing at it's finest.
