What is recorded here
Ray McAnally was born in Buncrana, a seaside town on the Inishowen peninsula of County Donegal, before moving to Moville at age three. The salt air and distant water likely shaped the boy who later wrote and staged a musical at sixteen, turning young imagination into public performance. That coastal beginning gave his life a wide horizon, carrying him from Irish stages to international screens where his versatility earned lasting recognition.
