Geoff pays tribute to someone he knew well...Chas Hodges of `Chas & Dave`.
With music from his early rock n roll days at the beginning of the 1960`s, through his time backing American legends Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent ,as a member of Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers and recording for legendary producer, Joe Meek.
Plus of course, Chas & Dave ...from their first album in 1975, to their most recent earlier this year and, what was probably his final recording, guesting on the new album from Gilbert O`Sullivan, recorded in his Jersey home studio.
