[4] Hudson was born George Timothy Brumwell on 11 February 1940 in Prestbury, Cheshire, and was educated in Cumberland and at Strathallan School, Perthshire.
[1] His father, Thomas Brumwell,[5] served in Bomber Command in World War II and died in a raid over Belgium in 1944.
On a visit to Birmingham he offered to manage The Moody Blues, and then, according to his own account, introduced the band to Decca Records in London, though his role is disputed.
[1][6] When The Beatles embarked on their 1965 North American concert tour, radio station KCBQ in San Diego employed Hudson.
Using his contacts in England, Hudson managed to get permission to travel with the group before their concert in San Diego, and to file reports to be aired exclusively on KCBQ.
His problems surfaced, despite his claims to the contrary, when he could not do the simplest of tasks such as working the controls, playing records, or punching in ads.
[7]Nonetheless, Hudson was able to land a high-profile evening slot on KFWB-Los Angeles that lasted for approximately a year and a half (1965–66).
In March 1966, Hudson presented singer Nancy Sinatra with a gold disc to mark her million seller "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".
