Chas and Dave

A interview with DJ Stu Colman on Radio London in the 80's. The rockney duo chat about their favourite influences - Jerry Lee Lewis etc. and playing some of their "new" songs ................................................................................................................................................................................Wikipedia says - "Chas & Dave (often billed as Chas 'n' Dave) are an English pop rock duo, most notable as creators and performers of a musical style labelled "rockney", which mixes "pub singalong, music-hall humour, boogie-woogie piano and pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll". For a time, "Rockney" was also the name of their record label, and they achieved several British chart hits, their major breakthrough being "Gertcha" in 1979, which peaked at #20 and was the first of eight Top 40 hit singles the duo played on. The act has also enjoyed nine best-selling albums. It was announced in September 2009 that the pair would no longer be working together as Dave Peacock planned to retire from the band following the death of his wife Sue. However, in 2010 the band announced a tour in 2011. They are due to play IndigO2 on 8th December 2012 & then a final tour of the U.K. between 28th February until 16th May 2013.".....................................................................................................................................................................Chas n Dave - Stu Colman show
