(2003) 462: [ballad title]The Bogg-Trotter’s Glory. As host of the early morning show, Ray received an audience of up to 5 million listeners. His warm, kind and humorous personality made him popular with an audience who were made to feel they were in the same room as him. Although he did lots of television voiceover work, Ray never entertained the idea of going in front of the camera. He told the Liverpool Echo in 1985 “On radio there is nothing between you and the listener, on television there are batteries of lights and armies of men that all get in the way.”

In 1973 Ray went freelance and in 1975 he was heard fronting the early breakfast show 6-7am. He wasn't made permanent until 1980 when the show was extended to 5-7.30 am. In 1986, whilst on a train returning from an outside broadcast, he came up with the idea of the Bog Eyed Jog. This was a sponsored fun run for Children in Need, taking place at 5.30am in sports stadiums around the country. It seemed a ludicrous idea, but despite the early hour in November, thousands turned out to run with Ray in Belfast, Birmingham, London and Manchester. He even released a record associated with the event, O’ My Father Had A Rabbit, which spent seven weeks in the charts peaking at number 24.

He knew that the time had come to make his bosses aware of the gravity of his situation. A few days later, whilst making a dedication for a lady called Arrowsmith, he pronounced it as Allowsmish. Later that day, which was a Thursday, his producer called the Head of Radio 2, Frances Line, to say that Ray would no longer be able to continue broadcasting after the weekend. Sadly, he was not even allowed to do one last show, Line deciding instead to bring in a replacement for the following morning and issue a press statement. He was devastated at the decision, but comforted by the enormous amount of well wishes he received.

Born in Liverpool in 1942 Ray started out as an actor and was first heard over the airways in 1962 when, whilst still a teenager he worked as continuity announcer for Granada, Tyne Tees and BBC Manchester. By 1966 he was heard on Radio 2's predecessor, the Light Programme, where he compered Pop North. At the launch of Radio 2 in 1967, he was an announcer and newsreader for the station.
