Chas & Dave began writing and performing songs together in 1972, having been friends since the early sixties. Now celebrating their 50th Anniversary by recording their first original album in 27 years ‘That’s What Happens’ , which features a mixture of vintage rock & roll songs and new renditions of their own rockney classics, they will be returning to Margate Winter Gardens on October 3 for their 2014 ‘ON THE ROAD’ tour. The album also features special guest stars such as Jools Holland, Buddy Hollys drummer Jerry Allison & Hugh Laurie.
They reached the top twenty in 1979 with “Gertcha” , which became a nationwide catchphrase. This was followed by “The Sideboard Song” (Got my beer in the sideboard here). In 1980 they hit the charts with “Rabbit” , which reached No. 8 in the charts and a No. 2 record in 1982 “Ain’t No Pleasing You”. This was followed by further hits “Margate”, & “London Girls” . In 1986 they had a top six record with“Snooker Loopy”.
They have also written title songs for TV shows ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ and ‘Only Fools & Horses’.
