How It All Kicked Off
BunnyBunnyJabba only came to life in July 2025, and here’s how it started. Dave was tickling the old ivories in the legendary Rock Therapy when they brought in a new bass player — well, new-ish. Chris 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 — lived on.
Fast forward to a family jolly in Egypt (that’s the Therapy lot), and Dave and Chris were itchin’ to do somefin. Paul weren’t so keen — he was itchin’ for real, covered in mozzie bites after a boat trip down the Nile with Chris that broke down mid‑river. After bein’ dragged in and out of tombs like a reluctant Indiana Jones, he had his heart set on retirement.
But 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 ten 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 Dave rang a drummer mate called Mike. Mike was perfect — except he was too busy, but he’d a mate called Fred who might be up for it. We mentioned the already-booked gig, made the call, and before you could say “faanie’s your aunt,” Fred was in the band.
And the rest, as they say, is knees-up history. The lads did what any sensible blokes would do: formed a band..
