Head" b/w "It's You" (1989) This song was voted "Single of the Week" on Simon Mayo's BBC Radio One Breakfast Show in 1989. "I Don't Want To Say Goodbye" (1990) Reached the Radio Playlist meeting but alas didn't quite make it. Performed on Going Live BBC1. "Brian!" b/w "Brian!!" (1991) Released when Nottingham Forest reached the FA Cup Final, with the original song's lyrics adapted so they had something to do with football, Nottingham Forest, and Brian Clough. Simon Mayo played 12 seconds of it before deciding to play something else instead... Darling Doris During the 1980s, Fat and Frantic wrote a song, "Darling Doris", as part of the campaign to stop the decommissioning of the red telephone box. The song lyrics describe the red telephone box as a characterful community beacon being taken away and being replaced with a modern uncharacteristic phone box spelling the ruination of the community. The powerful closing words of the song being "Now they've taken my Darling Doris away. How can I forgive them?" Current activities Fat and Frantic stopped performing regularly in 1992. There was a reunion 'final gig' at Greenbelt, in 1998. A four-date mini-tour took place in July 2011. Since circa 1986/7, members of the band and others have formed a loose, expansive collective, independent of Fat and Frantic, who play unrehearsed, sometimes shambolic rock and roll covers under the title 'Rev Softly and the Residential Areas'. The band's name refers to a sign in the car park beneath the long-since demolished ABC Bowl in North Harrow, Middlesex: 'When leaving at night, please rev softly – this is a residential area'.
