In 1985 Dai Shell invited Ray to Cardiff to work on jingles and sessions at Dai's Studio The Music Factory and to join the diminished 'Sassafras' as bassist on the occasional gig. He penned a new song in the Welsh language "Dagraun Dechrau Disgin " which did well in the Welsh charts. It was followed by the Welsh Language album "Milltiroedd " which was later re voiced by Ray and Richie Galloni & produced by Lord Shell of Merthyr . The cd is available as Ray and Richie's solo album. Ray Jones has been playing bass guitar with Sassafras on and off ever since as well as being in a few bands and sessions with Dai, Marco and Gary.
