To quote Mac MacLaren, MD/Editor of Lemonrock:

'One of the best bands I have seen live in a very long time: The Bluerays, based in North London.'

When singer/guitarist/harmonica player Chris Hargrave - who has played with Albert Lee, Richie Hayward from Little Feat, Steve Simpson - (from Slim Chance, Meal Ticket and Frankie Miller) - contacted former Looters guitarist Steve Pomeroy, the seeds of The Bluerays were sown. Knowing the heart of any band is found in the rhythm section, Chris and Steve set about recruiting Brian Diprose on bass, who has previously played with Shakey Vic and Steve Marriott amongst others, and in 2019, when original drummer Chris Hunt retired to the coast, The Bluerays started a new chapter when the drum stool was handed to Les Cole, whose credits include The Blues Chapter, Haunting AD and house drummer at St Harmonica's Blues Club, as well as spells on the road as drum tech for the likes of Carl Palmer, Cozy Powell and The Pretenders. Drawing on their collective years of experience touring both home and abroad, a 'defy you not to get up and dance' set of Rock 'n' Roll / R'n'B and 60's and 70's gems has been put together for their high energy live shows and you can be sure these guys bring passion, drive and quality to their playing.

The boys (and I use the term loosely) have developed quite a reputation for bringing you great songs that you forgot you knew.

With more than a nod to the glory days of 'Pub Rock' you can expect to hear tunes from James Brown, Chuck Berry, The Byrds, Dave Edmunds, The Beatles, The Stones, The Yardbirds, The Zombies, Travelling Wilbury's, Dave Mason, Neil Young, Frankie Miller, Steve Marriot and The Move to name but a few.
