Welsh legend Red Ray gives his last interview tonight
THE last interview given by legendary Welsh socialist Ray Davies will be broadcast tonight in a documentary about the 1984-85 miners’ strike.
The colourful Labour councillor, peace campaigner and prolific correspondent to the Morning Star’s letters page died aged 85 on May 7.
But in March he spoke to the makers of the Streic y Glowyr (miners’ strike) programme, which will be shown on Welsh-language station S4C (with English subtitles) at 9.30pm.
