Ray has featured heavily in the media after being on X Factor Finals, winning ITV’s Dancing on Ice, winning ITV’s Get Your Act Together and generally being a lovable TV personality.

He began starring in Brookside, the infamous British soap based in Liverpool. Ray famously went on to come second to Leona Lewis on ITV's X Factor in 2006, and he won the fourth series of Dancing on Ice in 2009 and the final 'All Stars' series in 2014. Ray is now back in the studio, where he belongs, writing, singing and recording for his new album.

Ray will be putting on a fantastic show as always with a mixture of previous jazz swing and some brand new material! Ray has lots going on besides his Dare To Dream tour, which he is really excited about! Ray is currently recording his album which will be a massive leap away from his trademark swing and jazz and is much more upbeat and modern. He has been just finished playing a lead in the Judy Garland Song Book, which hit the stage this month. Ray starred alongside Judy Garland’s daughter Lorna Luft and in reviews has been praised exceptionally, even likened to Gene Kelly.

Ray has also had the release of his first book This Time Round which was in the finals for the Peoples Book Prize televised live on SKY News.

Ray will be at Gwyn Hall on September 12. Tickets are available from www.celticleisure.org/secure?url=https://sro.celticleisure.org/gwynhall/en-GB/shows/ray%20quinn/events
