Songs & Stories at the piano with the daughter of Chas from “Chas & Dave” live at Furnace Brook
Join Kate Garner, daughter of the legendary Chas Hodges of ‘Chas & Dave’ at the piano, as she sings the songs that have defined her life, with tales from her childhood on the road with her dad, travelling everywhere from Margate to Melbourne to her own successful career as a singer & songwriter.
Kate Garner’s Vintage Songbook features treasured gems such as’, ‘‘Daisy Bell” ’’Auntie Skinner’s Chicken Dinner’’ “Keep The Homefires Burning” and her favourite Chas & Dave song! And you will of course be invited to singalong, in true community style.
Hear the traditional folk and Music Hall songs Kate sang at family parties growing up in a musical London family, parlour songs she learned from the pianola, and the vintage classics she first heard on the gramophone that her dad bought her at a flea market when she was 12!
Kate will share photos from her family album and tell the fascinating stories behind the vintage songs, as well as performing some of her own music inspired by the great writers from the past.
