Ray Fenwick was one of Britain’s foremost guitarists, session players and producers. He was also a talented songwriter and co-wrote the signature tune to the 1970’s cult TV show “Magpie”, amongst many others.

In a 60-year career, Ray has contributed to countless sessions and, uniquely for an Englishman, had success in Holland (with cult bands TEE SET and AFTER TEA).
