How It All Kicked Off

BunnyBunnyJabba only came to life in July 2025, and here’s how it started.

​

Dave (Chas in the Duo) was tickling the old ivories in the legendary "Rock Therapy" when they brought in a new bass player. Well, new-ish. Chris (Dave in the band - We get confused)  had been in the band that went on to form Rock Therapy 30 years earlier, so he’d already been playing with Andy the drummer and Paul the guitarist.

After a couple of glorious years with Dave and Chris in the lineup, Rock Therapy played its final encore following the sad passing of Andy. Andy had formed Therapy with Paul, and those two could never be replaced. So the decision was made to end the band, with the three lads heading into retirement. But the friendships forged through Rock Therapy with fans, family, and each other, well that lived on.

Fast forward to a family jolly in Egypt (that’s the Therapy family - or as some may say the family needin' therapy)  and Dave and Chris were itchin’ to do somefin. Paul weren’t so keen,  he had his heart set on retirement. Now, as luck would have it, Chris had packed his ukulele (more than luck, Dave had bought it to get him to do “The Laughing Policeman”). After a few days playin’ the hotel bar, it was clear Chris needed a bigger repertoire. The Chas & Dave numbers started flowin’ and, with a shared love of Cockney charm, it felt right.

Paul didn’t fancy playin’ again, so it was just piano and bass. The seed had been sown, and with Dave plannin’ a party in July, why not give ’em a bit of Chas & Dave? We needed a Mick, so a couple of calls were made and before you could say “faanie’s your aunt,” we had ourselves a Mick by the name of Fred. 

And the rest, as they say, is knees-up history, well history in the making wiv any luck!
