About 150 partygoers converged on the Harbour Bridge restaurant of AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, Phil's Place, on Friday night to celebrate the launch of his 11-track solo album, Head Job.
Rudd, 60, arrived to the cheers of family, friends and fellow musicians including Allan Badger, of Rotorua, and Geoffrey Martin,
of Auckland, who perform vocals and play guitars on the album with Rudd on drums.
The wine and beer flowed and the restaurant fed the revellers everything from salmon caviar and prawn dim sum to lamb chops and fried chicken nibbles.
Rudd told the Bay of Plenty Times he was pleased with the way the album had turned out and hoped fans would enjoy it.
"There is something for everyone."
