Here's one that only the Brits here might recognise. Dave Peacock, the Dave in Chas n Dave, famous for their cockney knees-up singalongs, like "Rabbit", "Gertcha" and "There Ain't No Pleasing You". Your views on him as a bassist? For what it's worth he seems to have a good time groove that fits in perfectly with the songs, about nagging wives, beer, grandads and West Ham (the football team not the place that is). |

| | | The famous story about Chas & Dave is that they were sampled by Eminem for 'my name is . . .' They were session musicans on a Labi Siffre song that he used.
Also, they're not cockneys, neither of them is even from London  |

Truly awful!!

I was always pleasantly suprised by his playing, good pick technique, adventurous in a kinda pentatonic boogie way, quite classy actually - and he sang!
I remember him playing G&L.
Actually I'm sitting not two hundred yards from the site of their old pub, the Pegasus, which had a music room out back (I remember playing it once). |

Dave Peacock grew up around the corner from me in Enfield and used to play in the Grumbleweeds, a comedy band.
Ah, The Pegasus: Big Chief, Mickey Jupp, Balham Aligators, Juice on the Loose etc. Happy days.
So Twodinners, small world innit?
