Could there ever have been a more quintessentially London band than Chas'n'Dave?
With the sad news today that Chas Hodges, the piano-playing half of the eternally-loved "Cockney" duo [they were both actually North Londoners, born and bred not far from Dolores Delargo Towers; in Edmonton and Enfield respectively], has died, it's the end of an era for good old-fashioned sing-a-long songs, methinks.
By way of a tribute, here's a double-bill of their fabled "knees-up" numbers...
RIP, Chas [Charles Nicholas Hodges (28th December 1943 – 22nd September 2018)], me old mucker!
Awww...nothing like a good old knees up round the joanna.
