From the depths of the Swedish forest, Destroying Angel is a new video from Ray Cooper. Shot by two Danish film makers, Jens Th and Carsten Jensen it features a horse, a cello, a beautiful girl, an enchanted island, and Cooper singing a song which tells of the danger of meeting a beautiful stranger in the wilderness, it’s a cautionary tale.

Ray Cooper, singer, writer, cellist and multi instrumentalist, was for many years a member of Oysterband but left two years ago to forge a solo career. He has released two solo albums, Tales Of Love War And Death By Hanging in 2010 and Palace Of Tears in 2014. His first song book Ray Cooper Songs will be published in August 2015.

Ray is now resident in Sweden and defines himself as a North European. His music certainly reflects that.

Ray, who tours mainly on the continent will be making a rare UK appearance at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival on Monday 31st August.
