John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Chas & Dave

Chas & Dave (often billed as Chas 'n' Dave) were an English pop rock duo, formed in London by Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock. They were most notable as creators and performers of a musical style labelled rockney (a portmanteau of rock and cockney), which mixes "pub singalong, music-hall humour, boogie-woogie piano and pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll". For a time, Rockney was also the name of their record label, and they achieved several British chart hits, their major breakthrough being "Gertcha" in 1979, which peaked at No. 20 in the UK Singles Chart, and was the first of eight Top 40 hit singles the duo played on. They also had nine charting albums. In October 2013 they released That's What Happens, their first studio album in 18 years and in September 2018, Chas Hodges died following treatment for cancer.

One Fing 'n' Anuvver

According to the Chas & Dave official website, their 1975 debut album ‘One Fing ‘n’ Anuvver’ earned critical acclaim from John Peel. [1] Although there are very few tracklistings from 1975 on the Peel wiki site, it seems he may have played some tracks from the album, but there is no evidence that he played later materials from the duo on his radio shows. However, Chas did play in bands before Chas & Dave, that Peel played on his programmes, including Heads Hands And Feet, who did a session for his show in 1972.
