Ray Hefferman

Ray Hefferman is an Irish songwriter best known for his alleged contribution to the iconic song 'Angels,' performed by Robbie Williams. He has recently gained media attention for initiating a legal battle against Williams, seeking a fair compensation for his work on the track that has amassed over 650 million streams on Spotify. Hefferman's claim is based on a European Union directive aimed at protecting the rights of creators, which he hopes will allow him to receive a retroactive share of the song's substantial earnings. He recounts a chance meeting with Williams in a Dublin pub in the late 1990s, which led to their collaboration on what would become a major hit.
