Hatch made a guest appearance on Graham Fellows's radio show, The Shuttleworths in 1994.

In 2003, a disco remix of the original recording of "Downtown" was released in Australia by The OUTpsiDER with the blessing of both Hatch and Clark and became a major hit. A souvenir CD box-set of six of Hatch's albums (four from the 60s and two from the 70s – including one with Jackie Trent), all in replicas of their original covers, was released in 2005.

In 2010 the song "Push a Little Button", written by Hatch and performed by his 15 year old sister Ninette and released on the Pye Records label in 1966, was used as the soundtrack for a campaign by UK TV Licensing, promoting the availability of online methods of paying a UK TV licence (which funds the BBC). Tony Hatch performed to great acclaim at the Hackney Empire on Sunday 9th September 2012 for a Water Rats Charity evening - The Golden Years of Variety. At the piano he played theme tunes of Emmerdale Farm, Neighbours, and Crossroads and encouraged a sing-a-long to the likes of Downtown.

Famous quotes containing the word events:

    As I look at the human story I see two stories. They run parallel and never meet. One is of people who live, as they can or must, the events that arrive; the other is of people who live, as they intend, the events they create.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
