Music, Solitude & Prison With Ray Heffernan
Ray Heffernan is a Dublin singer-songwriter probably best known for writing Robbie Williams’ big chart hit “Angels”. He is originally from Glasnevin and now resides in Italy on the shores of lake Orta with his wife and children.
Ray and I hooked up for chats a while back and probably spent about 90 mins talking about life and work and what it means to create something meaningful.
In this episode of the podcast Ray describes how he got into music and at 15 after writing his first song, decided that music was for him.
He explains how he deals with the negativity in the prison service, where he works, and he deals with that and enter back to normal life at home.
