Fellow fan Charlotte Hester said: "I was excited to come and see the pair because they have a really great sense of humour. It was great to see them playing live."
Chas was delighted with the rapturous reception for the duo.
He said: "It is nice that so many people value us so highly and it gives you a buzz when you are on stage."
Chas & Dave became well known in 1960s and early 70s. In 2005, the popular duo joined forces with EMI which once more resulted in two top selling CD releases.
