Dudley was a total Bob Dylan fan and when searching for a name for his group mentioned that Dylan always called his rough and ready touring bands his ?deputies? hence the name stuck a chord.

Original members Rick Cassman and Richard Lightman were the key personal. Both were professional musicians of long standing. Rick having performed and recorded with his band Straight 8 in the late 70?s and early 80?s (signed to Pete Townshend of The Who and toured with Queen) and Richard worked as a top session musician and producer.
After a couple of years Dudley decided to pursue a solo career, but Rick and Richard decided to carry on gigging and working the band as they so enjoyed playing ?live? again after so many years in the studio!
The band attracted some great players over the following years, including ex Grapefruit (Apple Records) drummer Geoff Swettenham, vocalist Brendan Read - Jones, ex Gong bass player Mike Howlett, session guitarist Alan Darby (Lulu, and Cockney Rebel). In 2013 the recorded an album of their most popular stage songs ?Difficult To Dust? which is available from iTunes and all digital formats.
In 2018 Rick began working with an old friend vocalist Belinda Campbell who had had success in the tv show Stars In Your Eyes. She officially joined the band later that year.
