Chas Hodges Tribute Hodges was born at the North Middlesex University Hospital in Edmonton on 28 December 1943 to Albert and Daisy Hodges.[1] He was named Charles Nicholas, but called Chas as it was a common nickname for Charles in Hackney where his father was from.[1] He was raised in north London, and moved to Kent in the summer of 1947.[2] His father, a lorry driver, killed himself the day before Hodges' fourth birthday. Interviewed by The Daily Telegraph in 2015 he said, "We never discovered what caused him to shoot himself with a shotgun."[3] After his father's death, the family returned to Edmonton in North London to live with his grandparents, with his mother making a living playing piano in local pubs and clubs.[1] He attended Eldon Road School,[4] and later Edmonton Higher Grade School but left just before he was 15 at the end of 1958.
