Ray Driscoll: was also from a musical family, his Irish grandmother teaching him such songs as Rocking the Cradle. Ray also picked up songs from the streets of south London when he was a child and from singers in Shropshire a few years later. He had returned to London when I met him in the 1980s and was eager to pass on his songs to a younger generation.
