Life in Beckworth » Chesney Hawkes http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town. Informing you about their lives through the mediums of words, images, an interactive map and stereophonic sound recordings Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:56:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 Cockney Tribute Act Performing Tonight http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/cindy-carmarthen/cockney-tribute-act-performing-tonight/ http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/cindy-carmarthen/cockney-tribute-act-performing-tonight/#comments Fri, 03 Jul 2015 10:55:40 +0000 a resident of Beckworth http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/?p=5211 Continue reading →]]> Great news for all the fans of jellied-eels, cockney music and out of tune pianos, as the UK’s eighth best Chas & Dave tribute act will be performing in Beckworth tonight. The act, aptly named Ches & David, will be performing the real duo’s two hits but promise to liven things up with a few surprises including some mime, juggling and lots of anecdotes about appearing on Masterchef and being extremely famous. In an email David Mitchell, the act’s “joanna player” (pianist), told me that he and his East End singing partner Ches (Chesney Hawkes) have been rehearsing for a couple of hours and are very excited to be performing, especially as the pub is paying them in crisps and lemonade. It’s only £9.50 on the door and this weekend’s featured ale at the pub is Where Is Sue Perkins When You Need Her. Warning: If you don’t like D-List celebrities singing in poorly “put-on” East London accents and going all “Mary Poppins” then please stay at home!
