The Portal
Welcome

My name is Ray Price and you have arrived
at The Portal to all my online activities.
 
 
There's lots to see and listen to as I am a incredibly busy these days.  First and foremost, I am a 'session musician,' performing on recordings and live performances by other creative folks.  I have appeared on many Rock, Blues, Folk, Celtic, Medieval, Electronic, Ambient and other musical endeavors over the years. If you'd like me to add color to your recording session or gig, please contact me.

For my own live output, I am a musician and dance master specializing in Breton Dance, French Country Dance, Medieval Dance and Sacred Circle Dance. I'm very excited to be able to offer my back catalog of recordings in mp3 format here for the very first time. Please go to my store and sample for yourself - an ipod near you will thank you for the gift.  I will thank you too for supporting real, independent music!

I perform on a multitude of instruments including medieval bagpipes from Brittany and England, chalumeau (ancient clarinet), electric and acoustic dulcimers, bass and percussion from around the world and I sing with a 'real' English accent!  The ensembles that I perform in include Trouz Bras, Triple Spiral, Dreams Before Waking and Caliburn. You can also find me creating film projects, radio productions and photography through Caliburn Media.  If you would like to book any of my ensembles for a concert or other event, you can do so through my Remarkable Music Agency.

If you are a regular visitor here, I have a new section that I've just added. 'Dreams Before Waking' is now a band (as opposed to being my solo project). To find out about this interesting new project, just click on "Dreams' in the list of pages above.
