#MikeBatt is a songwriting legend. I mean, Bright Eyes - a masterclass in emotion.
He's very active on Twitsphere - be wonderful if he crossed to the blueside.

Sometimes, when I'm dreaming...
Commissioned for, but rejected from "Marylin!" the musical, - the song was recorded by Art Garfunkel and later, by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog. That's success; but I still see it as unfinished business...

An engaging account of Batt’s long career in the volatile world of songwriting, performance and music production. Whereas many autobiographies skew heavily towards the early years and then drop into a perfunctory void, Batt provides even coverage most of the way through. #MikeBatt
