"The most surprising thing about Fat old Man's music is how diverse it is. Fat Old Man manages to blend so many genres together and it came out sounding great. Very few artists can genre jump and it come out being decent, let alone very well put together like this. Each song has so many elements in it and so it is no surprise that Fat Old Man has eclectic mix of fans. He incorporates something for everyone to enjoy in his songs. The songs are happy, they are relaxing, they are silly, makes you want to dance, makes myou want to think, they are fun but serious at the same time. I think too many artists are scared to experiment and cross over into new things because they are too worried about staying 'punk' or 'metal' or 'pop' or 'hip hop' or whatever it may be and they just end
up sounding generic and diluted, unlike Fat Old Man."
"Not quite as stout or aged as his name suggests, Fat Old Man looks something like a sleazier John Sessions. At one recent gig, the ironic "Bad Women and Intercourse" became an unlikely anthem adopted by the lager louts in the audience, who threw bread rolls at him until he agreed to sing it again. Fat Old Man likes a tipple on stage and is not afraid to let it all hang out while Mrs Fat operates the backing tapes and the audience is conquered by the sheer bloody cheek of his (non-) performance."
" It reminds me of Gorillaz, yet real unique." Spitz from The HAA Group.
"Yes, he's fat, he's old and he's a man, goddamit! He also lives rather appropriately in Eastbourne where it is a tradition for old people to go to spend their twilight years. Recently, the Man has been receiving a lot of e-mails from some slightly scary gangsta rappers from East LA who for some reason think he's a kindred spirit. A sort of grown-up, thinking man's The Streets with a better sense of humour. Excellent new CD Eastbourne Pier Burning is out now."
Stained: "a collection of technodelic tracks that are in keeping with the experimental spirit of early Pink Floyd."
At last, Dante's Karaoke Bar - Fat Old Man's concept album (a collection of cover versions with guest vocalists woven together by a narratated story) is finished and can be obtained from the online shop

I was on my way to work last week, I got out of the subway and when I went up to the surface, although it wasn't raining, there were plenty of students, foreigners, a few old people standing up at the top of the stairs blocking my way, and plenty of ugly people. As I made it out onto the street I pushed my way through some tourist and thought of you when I noticed some policemen looking at me as if they knew what was on my mind.
Yeah! South Street Seaport burning...
Your stuff is pleasingly strange and incoherant. And you're called Fat Old Man. What's missing from this picture? Nothing at all, that's what. Well done.
liking your stuff (fat old) man
Every morning I wake up in pain, there's a song in my head, it's always the same: Eastbourne Pier Burning!
Fun stuff!!!
Nice stuff with a lot of humour!
twisted in a fantasic way!!
another classic F.O.M. performance!
Must say that I enjoyed your set at No Wankers Aloud last night, was most entertaining.
Fat Old Man was ace and Fat Old Man's mate was a lunatic!
Pink Floyd:
Fat Old Man has always been a big fan of Pink Floyd and has performed at Pink Floyd Tribute nights doing his psychadelic/techno versions of early Pink Floyd tracks. Fat Old Man's cover version of Pink Floyd's On The Run is part of Neptune Pink Floyd's 3 CD tribute None Of Us Is Pink ans Fat Old Man's version of Waiting For The Worms is included on Neptune Pink Floyd's 3 CD tribute NPF Tribute Volume 2: The Return of the Sons of Neptune. Versions of Chapter 24 and Mathilda Mother were going to be included in an up and coming tribute CD set. Sadly due to copyright reasons the sets of CDs are no longer available at http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/ any more.
Future projects:
At last Fat Old Man can write and record some new self-penned tracks. The first to be recorded looks as if it will be a heavy guitar number - so fans of Eastbourne Pier Buring may be happy. He will also be working on a track by Emyr Tomos from Glassglue and writing a new track with Martin "Hungry Dog" from The Hungry Dog Brand.
