Ray Dolan
Ray Dolan is an Irish singer-songwriter and guitarist. He began his career in the early 1970 by playing folk clubs in Dublin with James Connolly as a duo, contributing to the success of the Universal Folk Centre at
Parnell Square. In 1973, they were involved in the five-member band Heir. The two musicians also participated in the final Anne Byrne album ''Come by the Hills'', published in 1974, and containing a cover of the Dolan's song "Constantly Changing". He went solo that year, and recorded an album on
EMI label in 1975, ''
Restless Night'', but he remains mainly known for the
Tír na nÓg version of his song "Hey Friend" from
their eponymous album released by
Chrysalis Records in 1971. The Irish duo contributed to his solo album with
Leo O'Kelly as producer, and among other guests like
Philip King, future
Scullion founder with
Sonny Condell. The same year, he did a brief screen appearance in an episode of the
BBC Two documentary series ''The Camera & The Song'', dedicated to O'Kelly and Condell.
