"Chas Hodges" is an English musician and singing/singer, probably best known for being one half, and lead singing/vocalist, of the English musical duo, Chas & Dave.

Before founding Chas & Dave, Hodges had worked with the producer Joe Meek, as a session musician, backing Jerry Lee Lewis & Gene Vincent, and has also played with Mike Berry (actor)/Mike Berry and the Outlaws (UK band)/'The Outlaws' along with Ritchie Blackmore, and Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers, which had Mick Burt on drums. He then joined Albert Lee’s band Heads Hands & Feet before playing with Dave Peacock (musician)/Dave Peacock and Albert in Black Claw (Band)/Black Claw. He also played piano for a short-lived band called The Rockers, which featured Roy Wood, Phil Lynott and John Coghlan (drummer)/John Coghlan. Hodges claims that he learnt piano by watching Jerry Lee Lewis whilst backing him.

We've always been made welcome in Devon.

I've had about six days off and I'm desperate to get back on stage. To be honest, the older we get, the more we want to get out there and enjoy it.

The thing is, we never actually went away.
