Meet Hudson!

Hudson was rescued in 2010 from a dog rescue centre in Chesterfield. It took him about 9 months to settle in and get used to living in Yorkshire but after that he never looked back. He has been credited with 'thanks' on lots of records as well as having had a tune written for him by Sam Sweeney 'Hudson's Hornpipe' for Bellowhead's 2010 album, 'Hedonism’, it also features on our own Bellowhead release 'Reassembled'.

With all the time Hudson spent in the studio, his experience of being at gigs and spending so much time around World class musicians, setting up a record label was the next logical step for this wonderful and much loved hound!

Hudson passed away peacefully in April 2021, he is missed greatly but his love and energy remains firmly rooted in everything we do here at Hudson Records.
