We saw Chas 'n' Dave on Sunday as part of the Lewisham Country Fayre . Their heyday was 1979, the same year as Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures", The Fall's D"ragnet", Pil's "Metal Box" and the Gang...the intriguingly spelt/no relation "Sandhersons")... Next year I'll bring my bike for a check-up, a cake, and some proper beer to consume. We left to strains of "Gertcha!" echoing in our ears

From about 8.30pm - pop by if you're near, good beer (Shepherd Neame), nice pub, some nice blokes with bells and hankies...what more could you want?
