Blimey another of my 1970s Sci-Fi fantasy women gone after Servalan earlier this month. **** me. If someone now announces Glynis Barber has left this mortal coil I'll be both distraught and wondering if there's a serial killer focusing on tasty 70/80s actresses out there.
 
A lot of people who just associate him with Chas and Dave won't realise what a well respected musician he was and how many singers and bands he backed or was part of. Was part of Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers when I saw them.

I was only reading about him last week. He played on some big hits in the 60s, one of which I was surprised about but for the life of me I can’t now recall.

Chas, the man who said it how it was when it came to nagging women. RIP.

I have a Chas (and Dave) anecdote - about 25 years ago I bought tickets to see them at a club in Scunny - I didn't fancy sitting in a club watching bingo, and other such entertainment till they came on so me and the boss went to the pub round the corner from the club for a few; we walked into the bar to be met by Chas, Dave and 3 or 4 rough looking guys who turned out to be their roadies, playing pool, downing pints and chasers and having a right good laugh with the locals. They were having such a good time that they failed to walk round the corner to the venue for their first slot - ten minutes after their no show the club's committee turned up en masse in the pub and, for a few minutes, it looked like a ruck was going to ensue. Long story short, they stayed in the pub till past closing time, got pissed as farts, sang a few songs with the locals and generally gave a great show ...... just not in the club round the corner!

If someone had said " One day you will be posting an Eric Clapton song popular around Eastville way", I would have thought get to ****.

But here it is...from the Charles and David Xmas show in 1982, with Chas tinkling the ivories

Apparently at one of Clapton's weddings there was a jam session with a group comprised of Chas, McArtney, Harrison and Starr.

They may well have played a couple of tunes associated with Pattie B ? :emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:
