I was lucky enough to be chatting online to Clifford Hoad, drummer with KINGS OF THE SUN and THE RICH AND FAMOUS recently. He very graciously agreed to answer a few questions I sent to him and to allow the “interview” to be posted on the ROCK RADIO NI website.

(AUGUST 2013 - UPDATE - New interview posted with Clifford following the release of the new album "Rock Til Ya Die" - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1292-ni-rocks-interview-with-clifford-hoad-of-kings-of-the-sun.html )

This tour was shaping up to be excellent , a great lineup covering great songs but it seems to have gone pear shaped ! (They had left Belfast out of the tour schedule for starters!) , it would seem that the originally announced line up has decided for unannounced reasons to depart from this project , the following statement was taken from Danny Vaughns facebook page

 

Ahead of their debut Belfast gig, at Auntie Annie's on 7 November, LA retro metallers White Wizzard are to release a single dedicated to Ronnie James Dio.
‘Shooting Star’ is released on iTunes on 18 November, and is the first recording to feature the band’s new vocalist Peter Ellis.<br
