Chesney Hawkes and Nik Kershaw: How we made 'The One and Only'

Chesney Hawkes, singer

My dad was in the Tremeloes. As a kid, I watched him — Len "Chip" Hawkes — in his leather trousers with his shirt open and girls screaming. "That's what I want to do," I thought. But without the leather trousers. By the time I was 17, I was in a band, writing songs and playing solo piano at weekends, in pubs or at weddings. It wasn't quite the big time.
