This event is a fundraiser and awareness campaign for and in support of Save The World Club and all they do in the borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Featuring a brilliant line up:
The Trudy Unplugged
Formed in November 1979 The Trudy finally got some traction with their 1989 single 'Countdown to Love'. This was followed by 'Living on a Moon', produced by Phil Vinall (Placebo, Elastica, Auteurs), 'Destination Love' and a Radio 1 session.
Their second album 'Tune-In to The Trudy Love-Ray!' was released in 1991. After a brief (well, 10 year) hiatus, with each member working on various solo, T.V. and radio projects, the band started recording new material in 2006. Three well-received singles followed ('Oh!', 'Lost Summer of Love' and '3 Minutes 4U') attracting a new wave of fans. A Japanese compilation album 'The Adventures! The Suspense!' was released in 2009.
In 2010 The Trudy were included on 'Leader of The Starry Skies', a tribute album featuring the music of Tim Smith. The Trudy's version of Cardiacs 'Day is Gone' achieved many plays on podcasts and local radio plus several plays on BBC 6 Music.
In 2012 The Trudy received great reviews for their singles 'Dirt Cheap Melody' and 'Bucolics Anonymous' and these we included on their acclaimed third album 'Always Never Beautiful Forever', which was released in 2016. The album was skilfully overseen by producers Greg Walsh (Kate Bush, Heaven 17, Howard Devoto) and Peter Walsh (Pulp, Scott Walker, Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds).
In 2021 they released the single ‘Dear Sancho’ and have somehow got their act together to release another single, ‘Every Story Ever Told’, just 2½ years later. Both singles feature on upcoming mini-album ‘Outside Time’, for which The Trudy were very pleased to again work with Greg Walsh. They would like to thank Greg for his seemingly endless faith in The Trudy, and for making them sound like they know what they are doing.
