I can't keep up with the amount of posts on this site.

Delete me - again.

Rabbit,rabbit ,rabbit,rabbit,rabbit and last but not least rabbit.
I loved seeing them on TOTP years ago.

good songwriters and in possession of a sense of humour. Good luck to 'em both.

more rabbit than sainsburies - is there a finer line!! not to mention 'gertcha' when the poles knocked england out the cup!

That's him on bass..

then I'm throwing down this little beauty. It's just lovely.

which sounded like you'd heard them before.
Good songs, good performance, always looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Went to an 80s Revival Festival (it was bad, only went for Chas & Dave and The Blockheads - although Midge Ure was surprisingly good) and Chas came on with no Dave ("Daves not 'ere, 'es not very well")
As it was (I think) July Dave's wife passed on, thats probably why it was Chas & ? I saw on stage

Snooker Loopy - not a fantastic song, but I know the words and can't help singing along when I hear it

- Dave's personal tragedy aside - because they were hoping to write the official song of Spurs' Premiership winning season.

They realised it is never going to happen in their lifetime. Or in mine come to that.

The last words heard on Planet Earth will be a pundit saying "Spurs have the potential to challenge for a top 4 spot".

Three reasons why Chas'n'Dave deserve respect:

1. Chas was Joe Meek's in-house guitarist

2. Paul McCartney wrote "Got To Get You Into My Life" with Chas's band, Cliff Bennett and the Rabble Rousers, in mind (and produced their version)

3. They are sampled all over Eminem's debut single.

Actually there's a fourth -

4. They're the only known link between Tori Amos and Dennis Taylor.

Chas and Dave are responsible for the most relaxing song of all time - "Old Dog and Me", which is about sitting in the garden on a sunny day with "me ounce of bacca and a nice cup of tea":

And you can keep the Costa Brava, I'm tellin' yer mate I'd rather 'ave a day down Margate with all the family:

Thanks Chas, thanks Dave.

"I don't Care....I don't care......I don't Care"

I hope Dave P has a change of heart because there's just something good about them. But even if he doesn't, best of luck to the pair of 'em.

And of course they make an appearance in HMHB's Running Order Squabble Fest:

"CND? CND? We're not going on after Chas & Dave"

that were loved even by me mates in the North East. The one song I don't have by them is a great version of 'Melancholy Baby', which I was sure they brought out as a single but can't find anywhere.

So much love. They really will be missed.

Chas would be a fantastic and timely candidate for a serious profile in the Word. As well as the Eminem connection, he played with Jerry Lee Lewis, and is on Shirley Bassey's amazing version of Light My Fire. And anyone who thinks C&D were purely novelty should check out their song Edmonton Green; laconic, pastral country rock, not unlike Ronnie Lane-sung Faces.

Recently I've been listening a lot to this version of Don Covay's "One Way Love" by Cliff Bennett and his Chas 'n' Dave enhanced Rebel Rousers. Like a lot of people I originally knew the song from the Dexys cover:

(I also listened to the C'n'D album "One Fing 'n' Anuvver" in full today - a real pleasure.)

Agree with all the Love expressed above. However maybe this sad situation does lend itself to solve another recent problem - Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you .............Peter, Paul and Chas.

Chas on Johnnie Walker's R2 show yesterday? A pretty decent interview all round and a couple of good stories from yer man Hodges. And some good tunes too.
