 An Email ... | The Rudi Story | Terry Hooley Speaks | A Fan's View  | Discography | Another Rudi Site | Links 

  You know I've been waiting a long time for someone to write an article and at last its happened. Now I don't feature a lot of NI bands coz basically I'm sorry to say I don't rate them.  Then an email arrives with someone criticizing the site but liking other bits and slagging Stiff Little Fingers. A bit of banter later and it turns out its the old guitarist, Brian Young,  from Rudi. Now I actually quite like the bloke now not least because he rides a Triumph  Bonneville and loves rockabilly and gives the lowdown on SLF but because he loves his music. Anyway he supplied me with enuff Rudi  music and cuttings to fill a small bucket. Now unfortunately  I've listened to the cds and with the exception of Big Time and a few others  I still prefer SLF. I'm sorry Brian .....but.....
 

As if my magic tho  and entirely unrelated another email arrives praising Rudi this time by Joe Donnelly. Now  I may not think Rudi the best band in the world but other people do and as they've taken the time to write and email me here's their view not mine. I don't enjoy criticizing bands . I'd rather someone who liked them wrote in and said how much they liked them and why. Enjoy it. 

  Brian (that's him on the right)  still plays to this day.At the moment (well since circa 1993) its the  rockabilly combo The Sabrejets who are actually rather good so make a point of seeing them or buying their cds  !!!! I wanna hear their  rockabilly version of Blitzkrieg Bop  !!!!!

  And so ......... here's to you Brian Young the rockingest cat in Northern Ireland for helping me out and letting me hear your music ! And here's to you Joe Donnelly for expressing that moment we all have when we first get into music.
