FAQs:

Which is which?
Chas is the slightly bigger one sitting at the piano,
Dave is the slightly thinner one on the bass.

How old is the drummer?
No-one knows.

Is the drummer Chas or Dave's dad?
No

Are Chas & Dave on Myspace?
No. Any C&D profiles on Myspace are put there by fans and are not official. As much as Chas & Dave appreciate these profiles, They would like to request that fans do not send messages to these sites in the mistaken belief that they are messaging Chas & Dave. They would also like to request that anyone setting up a C&D profile should make it clear that it's not official, and most importantly, refrain from making copyrighted material available to download from their profiles.

Why is my Chas & Dave CD/DVD not on the discography?
Over the years some of Chas & Dave's back catalogue has been farmed out to various music groups resulting in a rash of questionably packaged compilation CDs hitting the shops. These CDs are not illegal but Chas & Dave had no input regarding their content, artwork, or packaging. Some of these products were, until recently, released without a proper agreement being in place with Chas & Dave, so we keep the discography for releases that we have had direct involvement with.

What's all that about the Eminem thing?
In the seventies Chas & Dave were prolific session musicians before their own thing took off, playing on many albums for a wide range of artists. One such album was Labi Siffre's 'Remember My Song' from 1975. One of the tracks on this album - 'I Got The' - was sampled by Eminem on his breakthrough hit 'My Name Is' and is the main musical refrain of the track. Chas is playing guitar and Dave is playing bass.

Is Dave the real Dave?
Bill Bailey once suggested on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' that the current 'Dave' in Chas & Dave is some sort of imposter and the rumour started from there. We can confirm that that is definitely not the case and Dave is the original, one and only... Dave!! The suggestion could come from when the soul duo Sam & Dave toured with a different 'Dave'.

Did Chas & Dave write and sing the 'Only Fools & Horses' theme tune?
No. The show's creator John Sullivan did. John did approach the boys to do the theme but they were too busy.
