There are 20 songs, all of the favourites are here (I couldn't remember one that was missed).Ain't no pleasing youBeer BellyThe Diddlum SongFlyingGertchaHarry Was A ChampionI Wonder In Whose ArmsIn Sickness and HealthLondon GirlsMargate <-- This one is so easy to playMusn't GrumbleOne of Them DaysPoor Old My WoogieRabbitThe Sideboard SongSnooker LoopyThat Old PianoThat's What I likeWallopWish I could Write A Love SongEach song is presented as sheet music consisting of a vocal line with lyrics, treble and bass piano and guitar chord names.I am not a pianist. It takes me forever to read sheet music - but I do know how to construct a chord.As I am familar with the songs I used a combination of the musical notation I could work out without too much stress, the guitar chord name and what I could remember by ear and before long I was knocking out close approximations of cockney classics on the old joanna.The book also contains a few pages of B/W photos and a biography.I wouldn't recommended this for someone starting out but anyone with a few years of playing and a bit of savvy should have no problem with most of the phrases.

Prompt and a wonderful Christmas Gift .

My son was really pleased with this, Chas & Dave are favourites of his and he is learning to play the piano, so maybe we are in for a sing song.

Excellent song book from these underated extremely talented musicians. I had the pleasure or personaly flying the three of them around in the 80s(Mick the drummer too) Quite the nicest celebs I ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I'm a relative new comer to the keyboard and find this music quite hard to play. It's probably more suitable for a more advanced pianist. I will however persevere.

I'm a big fan of the duo, as is my 8years old gson. The song book is is exactly what I needed, in my attempts to emulate their 'rockney' style of music.
