Our Take
Our Take
Ah, CHAS AND DAVE. The cockney duo that somehow managed to make the accordion cool again. Their latest release, "Margate" (Picture Disc) for Record Store Day 2019, is a whimsical journey through seaside nostalgia and toe-tapping tunes.
From the moment the needle drops on this limited-edition picture disc, you're transported to the British seaside town of Margate. The opening track, "Oh, Margate!" sets the tone with its infectious sing-along chorus and infectious accordion riffs. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to this catchy number.
As the album progresses, you're treated to a mix of upbeat skiffle rhythms and heartfelt ballads that showcase the duo's versatility. Tracks like "Fish And Chips" and "Seaside Serenade" capture the essence of a day at the beach, complete with catchy hooks and plenty of cheeky charm.
But it's not all fun and games on "Margate." The duo also delves into more introspective territory with tracks like "The End of the Pier Blues," a haunting look at the passage of time and the fleeting nature of nostalgia.
Overall, CHAS AND DAVE's "Margate" (Picture Disc) is a delightful addition to any vinyl collection. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. Cheers to these iconic cockney legends for delivering yet another musical gem.

About the artist
Chas and Dave
Chas and Dave may not be your typical duo, but they have certainly left their mark on the British music scene. With their unique blend of rock, folk, and cockney humor, they have been entertaining audiences for over four decades. Formed in 1975 by Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock, this East End duo quickly gained a following with their infectious tunes and witty lyrics. With Hodges on piano and vocals, and Peacock on bass and vocals, they created a sound that was unmistakably their own. Known for hits like "Rabbit" and "Gertcha," Chas and Dave have become synonymous with good old-fashioned British pub music. Their songs often tell stories of everyday life, from going down the rub-a-dub-dub (pub) to mucking about on the old joanna (piano). While some may dismiss Chas and Dave as a novelty act, their musical talent is nothing to scoff at. Hodges' piano skills are nothing short of impressive, and Peacock's bass playing provides a solid foundation for their catchy tunes. Despite their success, Chas and Dave have always stayed true to their roots. They continue to perform in pubs and small venues, bringing joy to audiences with their infectious energy and good-natured banter. So next time you're in the mood for a bit of knees-up music, why not give Chas and Dave a listen? You might just find yourself singing along and raising a pint to these British music legends. Cheers!
