This section of my one-night-only (so far) musical "Men Who March Away" - is sung by the amazing singer/actress Paula Masterton. it's from a workshop/concert we did with the Docklands Sinfonia in 2017. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkkw...

Thanks @petroc.bsky.social and @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social for a fun chatty interview about my #symphony about NOT such a fun subject, #Ukraine - and for the world premiere playing of two movements of said symphony. Link to listen/buy here: dramatico.lnk.to/Symphony-1

🙏 David, I ordered one myself just to make sure the system was working. Amazon put it in an ordinary card enveloped and it smashed the jewel case. At least it arrived on release day. Lucky I already have the music!

Thanks, TS. Hope you enjoy it. Maybe enjoy is the wrong word, considering the inspiration behind it. 😢.

This [Dreamstone Overture #3] is nothing to do with my new symphony! youtube.com/watch?v=HxGh... But just FYI The symphony is out on Friday and we'd love some pre-orders! 🙂 🙏 🎶 from: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GWNQCGYM

Morning all. Please help us to build some pre-orders - Here's the Amazon link for upcoming UKRAINE SYMPHONY! amazon.co.uk/Symphony-No-...

Thanks David. 🙏 What a nice bloke you turned out to be after all! 🫢 - And yes, folks, pre-orders are so useful to us with a release like this - we don't want to rule the world, just to take a small bite out of the postman's pants. (The classical chart being the postman's pants in this analogy).

Thanks so much. The”Ukraine”symphony with the LSO @londonsymphony.bsky.social is out this coming week so any help reposting or indeed pre-ordering is always very helpful before release! 👍 🙂 🎶

Ok, I own up, it’s Sussex Gardens! 😱

@deeplyclassical.bsky.social Hi! In case you haven’t seen it! 🙂Www.mikebatt.com/news/symphony

I think this may be the best song I've ever written. Recorded by 3 major artists but never been a single.

🎶 🙂

Happy 11th May. This is my Instagram story today. Should've taken the cellophane off, really! 🥴

This picture always makes me laugh.

When I was young we worked out the cost of everything in pints of Guinness. So if studio time was £8 per hour and Guiness was 2/6d a pint (eight to the pound) that meant the studio time was 64 pints of Guiness per hour. (A sobering thought).

Whoever would ever write a piece of music called "Sad Bit After Gordon Is Sacked"? Well... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFGq...

I'm trying to think of something to put out to mark the 150th anniversary (on April 1st) of Lewis Carroll's HUNTING OF THE SNARK. Maybe this single? (Comments welcome)…

Renée Z and Meryl S in “Only Murders In The Building”!!! 👌🤩

Oops- it’s WORLD BOOK DAY and I haven’t even mentioned my autobiography #TheClosestThingToCrazy . It must be my modest disposition. 😬

My tribute to President Zelensky and all Ukrainians. 🙏

A lucky moment...

STOP PRESS

Well, you learn something new every day - today it's that @mikebatt.bsky.social wrote the song used as the theme tune for BBC's Big Break. Performed by Captain Sensible, The Snooker Song appeared on The Hunting of the Snark, which I've just acquired and am listening to for the first time!

I got up yesterday morning to find flowers and an envelope saying "Happy 41st". I thought "41st what?". I'd forgotten our wedding anniversary but Jules hadn't. She'd crept outta bed and slipped downstairs. Here we are last night at Cent Anni, our fave Italian restaurant in Wimbledon! Durrh. 🫢 ❤️

That’s very kind of you, Doctor! 🙏🥳

A little prezzy for all my Blue Sky pals; a new song snippet. Sweet dreams and Happy New Year! M🙂❤️

Well, if you MUST know, I do have a book out.

When it’s time to paint the stair knob-thing…

I hear they are letting Indian folks from Ireland into the States now. At least, they said "Cork Asian" so I guess they meant that.

Reading all these posts from vile people rejoicing in the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, and it really reminds you how evil the Trump cult is. There's Hell on Earth. Made me think of this old song of mine. "DON'T TRUST THE ANGELS" www.youtube.com/watch?v=asyF...
