Ray Davies

As we reported earlier, fans of the Who and the Kinks' Ray Davies were quite disappointed to find out they'd sat through two and a half hours of the pomp that was the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony, only to be denied the chance to watch their heroes perform at the big event.

Friday evening (Dec. 16), Ray Davies, former frontman of the Kinks, made a special appearance at Coniston Institute in Cumbria, England, where production was underway for his new musical, 'Child's Play.'

Rock 'n' roll legend and Kinks main man Ray Davies delivered a nearly two-hour show to a sold out House Of Blues in Cleveland recently (Nov. 12), packing in a lot of hits and obscurities, all us Kinks "Kooks" were in heaven!

Having carved out a considerable legacy with the Kinks, Ray Davies is well aware that it’s the songs from that body of work that the concert goers are paying to see. He also says that we shouldn’t hold our breath for a reunion of the British legends, which, sadly, jives with what his brother Dave said recently as well.

As rumors of a Kinks reunion continue gaining momentum, frontman Ray Davies has announced dates for the first leg of a U.S. fall solo tour.
