The Green Ray - Five Points Of Light (2019)

After releasing the well received 'Half Sentences' in 2017 (**** Thomas Patterson, Shindig / No 5, Top 25 Albums Of 2017 Jeff Fitzgerald, Psychedelic Waves.com / 'Brilliant, sumptuous & satisfying', Danny Baker) and having their version of John Martyn's 'Dusty' feature on the Fruits De Mer release 'The Three Seasons' (alongside The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds & The Electric Prunes) The Green Ray began recording 'Five Points of Light' in February 2018.

After the sudden passing of long time friend & bassist Jeff Gibbs, the band recruited Dave Mackenzie and continued gigging and working on the new recordings. Completed in the summer of 2019, 'Five Points Of Light' features Jeff on the songs 'Small Springs' & 'Before The Fall', as well as guest contributions from Howard 'Plug' Davies (The Attack, Screaming Lord Sutch) & also Duncan Kerr & Wayne Worrell (Plummet Airlines, The Favourites, The Brainiac 5). After summer 2019 gigs with very special guests Barry Melton of Country Joe & The Fish & noted French Guitarist Stephane Missri, the band continues to appear at The Brainiac 5's London residency, at The Gunners, Finsbury Park.
