‘A Tale Of Two Cities’ is a unique insight into the eclectic world of Mr Hudson. It takes someone with foresight and imagination to pull-off the cross-pollination of hip hop and reggae beats with classic song writing, but in doing so Mr Hudson has hit upon a winning formula. He shares the same DNA as the new breed of British artists who have recently been storming the charts. The Streets, Plan B, Sway and even Lily Allen. Young Britons documenting their lives, their generation, in inspired song .

He recently performed the new single, Too Late Too Late: a semi-autobiographical tale that Mr Hudson has set to song, on Later With Jools Holland.

The single is also flying at radio, within hours of being serviced to Radio One it was declared ‘hottest record in the world’ by the stations leading tastemaker DJ Zane Lowe. Later that week the record achieved a #1 spot on XFM’s exposure chart. Days after Later..Jo Wiley gave he single its first UK daytime radio spin and to kick start the New Year he is already confirmed as the first session artist on Dermot O’Leary’s Radio Two show.

The band, The Library, was formed just over a year ago when Mr Hudson decided to take his songs on the road. Old time friend and bass player Mapps Huxley was the first to come on board. He was joined by TJ on piano and Wilkie Wilkinson on electric drums.

The most inspired addition came in the form of Joy Joseph, bringing steel pan and backing vocal to the party. To hell with you if you have a problem with a middle class boy, who studied English Lit at Oxford and who has a fine line in hat wear.

It's your problem, not his, if you can't square it with yourself that he also loves hip hop, reggae and soul and devours the arts whenever he gets a spare moment. Reading the classics, walking on the heath (with Dave his dog), playing music and being with those he holds dear is what matters. Mr Hudson is unashamed and unapologetic. It is simply who he is.Mr Hudson and the Libary
