Biography

London, United Kingdom (1975 – present)

Chas & Dave are a Cockney pop rock music artists, often billed as Chas ‘n’ Dave or erroneously as Chaz ‘n’ Dave. Their full names are Chas Hodges (piano, vocals, banjo, guitars) and Dave Peacock (bass guitar, vocals, banjo, guitars), with Mick Burt on drums. They were regulars on British TV from 1975 onwards and had hits like “Gertcha”, their first, as well as “Rabbit” and “The Sideboard Song”. Their music was featured in a TV beer advertising campaign which also helped to establish them in the United Kingdom.

The unique cockney style of singing was from the start intentional. They felt an alternative to the way British bands copied American accents was needed. The songs above are partly comic, and Chas ‘n’ Dave are identified with London pub culture. But their 1982 number 2 hit, “Ain’t No Pleasing You” was a more romantic record, with strings added to the usual piano, drum and bass sound. ‘Rockney’ has been coined as a term for their music style. They have always done a great deal of live work, and are currently doing shows all over the UK.

“Snooker Loopy” is a comic song about Snooker by Chas and Dave.

Chas and Dave have remained famous, in part, because of the songs they have written and recorded for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Among their most famous Spurs recordings are “Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur”, “Ossie’s Dream”, “Hot Shot Tottenham”, “When the Year Ends in One”, “Tottenham Tottenham” and the “Spurs Medley”.

As explained on their website, a hook written by Labi Siffre and played by Chas n Dave (for Siffre’s “I Got The”) was lifted by Eminem for use on his hit song “My Name Is”.
