15.12.07 Its never good news when we hear of a Lincoln bands splitting up, but its even more shocking when its a band like The Rays. The five piece have decided to call it a day and concentrate on other projects. In their two and a half years together, they made a lot of friends (to whom The Rays would like to extend their thanks for their loyal support) and played some prestigious gigs. The guys would also like to raise a glass to the local musicians who they’ve had the pleasure to get to know. Good luck guys in all future projects. The Rays farewell performance will be Saturday 22nd Dec at The Mezz bar, and will be your last opportunity to see them playing live. |
