2008 sees Fat Old Dad celebrate their 25th year together as a group and in that time they have achieved a great deal in the entertainment business.

When they got together in 1983, after being members of various other bands and being part of various other forms of entertainment, they could not have foreseen that in a few short years they would be appearing with the likes of David Essex, Chubby Checker, The Searchers, The Drifters, The Merseybeats, The Fortunes and comedian Frank Carson to name just a few of the star names that they have shared the same stage with.

They very quickly became regulars at the Butlin's Sixties Festivals making well over 35 appearances and have appeared at many of the major venues around the country.  They have topped the bill at Butlins cabaret night.  Visited Holland and Belgium and performed in cabaret for The Olau Line, Stena Sealink and The Gala Clubs.  They have also appeared at the world famous Highbury Stadium the home of Arsenal Football Club and been on BBC Radio.

One of their most memorable performances was at the International Merseybeatle Festival in Liverpool which is attended by 80,000 people from all over the world.  They were profiled in the popular sixties magazine 'The Beat Goes On' and featured regularly in the magazine.
