Pat Rudge - Drums & Vocals

Pat hails originally from East Anglia but moved to London in his youth to find fame and fortune and to teach himself to speak properly. He spent sometime as a studio musician playing Keyboards and Guitar before heading up the motorway and settling in South Yorkshire.

His experience in the tribute market is second to none having worked in ABBA and Bee Gees tribute bands prior to playing real music with ‘HRH’ These days Pat is no longer a musician, he’s a Drummer.

Pat insists that he has meticulously adapted his style to perfectly imitate that of Queen’s own Roger Taylor, and as such, is an integral part of the ‘HRH’ authentic Queen sound. We don’t know about that, but we do know that he enjoys sitting down and hitting things!

2011 update: Pat has decided to finally abandon his attempts to learn English. He now only converses in the language of his youth, a rare East Anglian dialect that today is only spoken by a handful of people and a parrot from Cromer. Pat has set out on a crusade to save his native tongue and is currently auctioning off broken drum sticks and cheese wrappers on Ebay to fund his new charity :
