Thurs 25th May
Concorde2 , Brighton Joining rock giants AC / DC in 1975 Rudd appeared on all but three of their 18 studio albums over the next 4 years . Recent well publicised problems thwarted the 2014 release of his first solo album ‘ Head Job ’ but now he ’ s turned a corner and dedicated his life to the more important things including family , friends and music . This will be epic .
