Change of plans won't be at Ottawa or Winnepeg but will be at all the rest of the shows...I'll have the God Save Ray Davies ( He's Not Like Everybody Else) stickers and the God save Ray Davies Buttons to give out free and a few of the last remaining KPS KinKs I'm Not Like Everubody Else big stickers also...may give them free to those who purchase Ray's CD or tshirts at the shows.

errr. yeah - ok then

Are you going to Ottawa Johanna ?

KinkCan will you be at any other shows? Sorry I we could not meet in Ottawa.

Sorry Frank, the other shows are a bit too far and I'm too busy.

But I'll be in Québec City for the free McCartney show on July 20th.

Only a few days now before the Ray show in Ottawa.

If you're going, let me know.

Just a reminder that fans will be gathering at the BLACK BEAR PUB, right next to the Bay Street Bistro in Ottawa before the Ray show.

That is 160 Bay Street, corner of Bay and Albert , minutes away from the stage where Ray will be playing. We expect to be there at around 5 :00.

Hope to see you there.

so far only found this about last nights show....

Bluesfest, Ottawa - July 11, 2008

OTTAWA - The only kink in Ray Davies solo show last night was Ray Davies himself.

But that wasn't a bad thing as Davies, with guitarist Bill Shand, turned in a lusty set of tunes covering 40 years of Davies' career on the Black Sheep stage last night at Bluesfest.

The 64-year-old former Kinks frontman and icon of the original British Invasion showed a large crowd, many looking as if they've been fans from the beginning of his career, that he's still the rogue-ish, fun-loving showman who scandalized teenaged ears in the 1960s with You Really Got Me, All Day and All of the Night, A Well Respected Man and the gender-bending Lola.

Alas, after years of fighting with his brother and bandmate Dave, the band disbanded for good in the 1990s. No mind, Davies carried on.

In 2006, he released Other People's Lives and followed that up with Working Man's Cafe last year.

Last night's setlist was a wide-ranging review of his solo songs, a couple covers, a couple Kinks classics and all the intimate charm and atmosphere of a British pub.


There was I'm Not Like Everybody Else, After The Fall, The Tourists, some Kinks tunes -- Till the End of the Day, Where Have All the Good Times Gone?, Dedicated Follower of Fashion and Dead End Street -- and the title track from Working Man's Cafe.

Performing on the intimate Black Sheep stage meant that the concert turned into a rousing sing-a-long, broken up occasionally by Davies' funny stories and Shand's textured acoustic guitars.
