Chas Hodges. Played on a number of hit singles in the 60's as a backing musician like 'Johnny remember me' before teaming up with Dave

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

AH SHIT.

Saw Chas and Dave at Sonisphere.

 

[The Bear]

Love Chas & Dave so this is a real shitter.

Chas played guitar in bands in America before coming back to the UK and concentrating on Piano. He then toured with his hero Jerry Lee Lewis when he came over here.

I think Dave have a run in with cancer a few years back and retired from playing too.

That is sad

My best memory of them is playing on Labi Siffres 1975 album and this song in particular

Everybody on the planet has heard the section at 2 min 30 secs and I used to smile at the thought of all those dissafected youths dancing angrily to what was essentially Chas and Dave

 

[The Bear]

That Labi Siffre song was just Dave playing bass on it AFAIK. Which of course was then sampled by Eminem for My Name Is.

 

[Keef]

Fairly certain eminem had to give them a writing credit for it

Chas played guitar !

 

[The Bear]

I thought that was probably the case.

Geoffrey Hayes from Rainbow has died aged 76. As an avid watcher as a child, and an actual Geoff, not Billy, this is very sad news.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Geoffrey was the pink one?
