Rage of Angels played their first ever show in the Diamond Rock Club, Ahoghill on 21st June 2014. Prior to that show I’d talked to founding member Ged Rylands (formerly of Ten and now a member of Tyketto) on the Friday NI Rocks Show.
The show was originally broadcast on 13th June and was then available for 8 weeks via the On Demand Player. The show from 13th June which includes the interview can be heard at http://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/
