October 2024
This was really two tours in one. Oysterband had planned an October tour with June Tabor to celebrate their collaborations over many years and the two albums Freedom And Rain and Ragged Kingdom. When Adrian was not available for that tour, the band asked Ray to join. Ray had his own UK tour booked the same month but by rearranging two shows to 2025, Ray was able to do both tours. The driving map only shows the solo venues.

This was the 41st Solo tour for Ray. It started with a house concert in Copenhagen followed by a concert at a trade union centre in Silkeburg. The tour continued into northern Germany, as far south as Bröckel and as far east as Remplin.

May/June 2023
During late May and early June 2023, this tour was through parts of Northern Germany, spanning both the old West and East Germany and crossing the old border a number of times. This was my first tour in Germany.
