Rudi were: (1) A late 1970s Northern Irish Punk Rock band from East Belfast.
Back in 1975 a gang of school pals from East Belfast fed up with the state of the music that was being played on the radio and on TV(3 channels and no MTV or VH1 in those days kids) decided to form their own band. They were all fans of the 'glam rock' bands which had ruled the pop charts for the previous four years, but it was losing its glitter and becoming increasingly bland. The members of the band were Brian Young, Ronnie Mathews, Graham Marshall, Leigh Carson and Drew Brown.
