Lucas Raye's blog

Hello Amigos!

It has been a while since I last blogged on this site so I thought it was high time for me to do something about it.
Since my last post a lot has been going on, I played over 250 gigs in 2011, released a 6 track EP onto iTunes (hard copies available at all gigs), been on BBC and local radio stations, played at various festivals and weddings and launched my website www.lucasraye.com

What a mental game this is!

What a mad year it has been! I cannot believe how fast everything has come into play! Over the past few months I have met some amazing people, gigged at some brilliant venues and written some (what I hope to be) great songs.

I played my last gig before Christmas last night, and realised that I've been going back there to perform since the ago of 16!

I have a couple more gigs booked in until the end of the year, both of which I'm really looking forward to. Then we have the turn of the NY, and it all starts again.

Right... today I am full of cold so have resigned myself to not do much today... HOWEVER things apart from my fluy-ness are amazing, everything seems to be picking up some speed, the tracks that I have spent the last few months writing, recording and finally producing are now finished!

The 2 artists who are putting together the artwork for the single release have been brilliant, we have done photoshoots and all sorts, making sure they have enough material to work some magic!
