FANS of the iconic rock group The Kinks will be able to catch Ray Davies at the Grand Opera House, York on Thursday.
This is the singer's rearranged autumn date, postponed in November due to ill health.
Ray has been performing solo since the mid 1990s, but is still best known from his time in the Kinks and songs such as You Really Got Me. Ray and the Kinks became the third British band, along with The Who, to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. He was awarded a CBE in 2004 and made it into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
In 1997, he published a book of short stories called Waterloo Sunset, described as a concept album set on paper. He has made two films, Return To Waterloo, in 1985, and Weird Nightmare in 1991, a documentary about jazz musician Charles Mingus.
A new album, Music From The Big Weird, is scheduled for release later this year.
