Gunn's Grotto is a two hour, themed radio show. I'm Peter Gunn, your host and when I inherited this crumbling mansion in North London from an uncle I didn't even know, I found a treasure trove of records and tapes in dusty boxes amongst the Jukeboxes and Pinball machines, in the scary cellar that I call....GUNN'S GROTTO. I am playing Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly, Doo Wop, Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Pop, Psych, Beat, Country, Bluegrass and Blues .....and Funny and Weird Stuff. NOTHING is off the t ...

Chas Hodges was one half of the nation's most beloved cockney duo Chas'n'Dave (or one third if you include long term drum stool occupant, Micky Burt). But he went back a very long way, starting in the early 60s playing bass guitar with the Stormers, and then the Outlaws (Joe Meek's go to studio house band).
