Chas & Dave - In Sickness & In Health

Chas & Dave
In Sickness & In Health / Encore Medley
BBC Records RESL 176 (1985)

Chas & Dave (Chas Hodges & Dave Peacock) began performing as a duo in 1972 and continued until Chas' death in 2018. The pair first met in 1963 whilst playing in different bands.  Chas was a member of The Outlaws and also played with Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers. Dave played with The Tumbleweeds and at one time played in a band called The Rolling Stones (but not the famous one!)

Both also did numerous session work including in 1975 playing guitar and bass on Labi Siffre's "I Got The..." which was later sampled on Eminem's "My Name Is".

In Sickness & In Health was a UK comedy TV show that run between 1985 & 1992.  It was the follow up to the show Till Death Do Us Part, both shows featuring Warren Mitchell as the curmudgeon Alfred "Alf" Garnet.  In this age the shows would never be produced as they both featured what can be called controversial, misogynistic and bigoted, racist viewpoints.  The original series was the first ever to use the "swear" word Bloody on UK TV.

This 45 scrapped into the UK charts at #95.

  1. Hi,

    I hope you are well. I wanted to share a personal experience and a referral that may be helpful to anyone exploring alternative or herbal treatment options. In August 2010 I was diagnosed with brain cancer and my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. A close friend recommended Dr. Jekawo, a traditional herbal practitioner in West Africa, and gave me his contact information.

    I contacted Dr. Jekawo and he provided a guarantee that his herbal medicine would cure my brain cancer, my wife’s breast cancer, and herpes completely. He asked for payment to prepare the herbal medicines, which I paid. Within seven working days he shipped the herbal medicines and gave us instructions to take them for 21 days. We followed his instructions exactly, and after completing the 21-day course both my wife and I experienced a complete resolution of our symptoms. Because of our experience, I want to recommend Dr. Jekawo to others seeking help for cancer, herpes, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, COPD, hepatitis, or similar conditions.

    If you would like to contact him directly, his email address is [www.drjekawo.com](drjekawo@gmail.com
