Chas & Dave - This Is Your Life (part 2 of 3)

Chas & Dave on 'This Is Your Life' in 1985 (part 2 of 3).

Despite their immense popularity, Chas & Dave are very poorly represented via YouTube. I have around 20 hours of footage (mainly from their 1979-1987 commercial & creative peak) so I've started this channel to share some of these classic performances. I'm always looking for more Chas & Dave footage (or upgrades of videos I already have), so if you have anything & feel like trading then please get in touch! Also let me know if there are any particular songs that you're after & I'll see if I can help. Please note this channel is not officially sanctioned by Chas & Dave, & any infringement of copyrights is unintentional; my sole aim is to promote their music to a wider audience.

See my blog for an in-depth review of Chas & Dave's classic albums (& how to buy them on official CDs):

Neither Chas OR Dave, (NOR Jim Davidson, for that matter), are Cockneys. In order to be a Cockney, you've gotta be born in the EASTEND of London, within hearin' distance of the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow Church in Cheapside, (Central London). Dave was born in Ponders End, (which is in MIDDLESEX, so technically speakin', he ain't even a LONDONER), and Chas was born in the same part of NORTH London as I was!) Just wanted to clear that little misunderstandin' up for you all! Peace and love! Be lucky!

To be fair neither Chas nor Dave have ever claimed to be Cockney. Incidentally the area where Chas was born didn't become part of London until the 60s, so technically he isn't a Londoner either! : )

Nah, Chas and Dave never claimed to be Cockney, (nor did Jim Davidson), but Eamon mistakenly called the three of 'em "Cockneys" on SEVERAL occasions, and I just thought I'd set the record straight on that score. And for the record, I do believe it was Sixty-FIVE that Edmonton became part of London. That bein' the case, I'm the first ACTUAL Londoner out of the Edmonton lot on ME MUM'S side of the family, as I was born there in Seventy-nine, and the rest of 'em were all born before Sixty-five. :)
