LEGENDARY duo Chas and Dave will visit The Anvil on Friday at 7.45pm.

The pair began writing and performing songs together in 1972, having been friends since the early sixties.

Their musical style, labelled ‘rockney’, mixed pub singalong, boogie-woogie piano and rock ‘n’ roll.

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 followed in 1982 - Ain’t No Pleasing You. In 1986 they had a top six record with Snooker Loopy.

Chas and Dave celebrated their 50th anniversary by recording their first original album in 27 years - a mixture of vintage rock ‘n’ roll songs and new renditions of their own rockney classics.
