RAY HEFFERNAN (BalconyTV)
BALCONYTV.COM 19/06/2008
PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMAN
Born in Dublin, Heffernan left Ireland at 17 to study Musical Therapy in Northern France, where he worked for 6 years with Children with Autism in this study of basic communication. He now applies this craft to the songs he writes today, using simple sing-along melodies to tackle major social issues, with lyrics and depth of knowledge that belie his 34 years. The list of his former songwriting partners includes Robbie Williams, Wallis Bird and Declan O'Rourke, and his music and songs have been used in Film, TV and advertising productions.
This year sees the release of "In My Own Time", a collection of songs and videos, written and recorded over three years, in five European countries, and in six languages. From the achingly beautiful "Sexy Little Secrets", a love song which has drawn comparisons to Gainsbourg, to the Dylanesque protest of "No More Peace", a scathing attack at the Bush regime, this album is a cross-section of songwriting at it's finest.
