Ginger singer/songwriter/artist/composer. I've conducted more orchestras than you can shake a stick at
Watching the Proms I "idly" checked the classical chart and my Ukraine symphony with the @londonsymphony.bsky.social is back up to #22 from #28 (it entered at #7). So HUGE thanks, everybody! 🙏 @jeremyvine.bsky.social @petroc.bsky.social @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social @republicmedia.bsky.social
Apologies to the great COLM WILKINSON for mis-spelling his name in my Instagram story! #ColmWilkinson 🙏
WOW - we are in at NUMBER SEVEN in the official classical chart today! That's way better than we ever dreamed of. Thanks to all of you who've supported me, and the @londonsymphony.bsky.social and @republicmedia.bsky.social and everyone else. Thanks, thanks, thanks. 🙏Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇬🇧🎶
Nice piece in the DailyExpress today from Lesley-Ann Jones mentioning Paul McCartney's great new album and my "Ukraine" symphony in the same breath. I'll take that, (with thanks)! Symphony link here: dramatico.lnk.to/Symphony-1
I thought this pic (kindly taken by @PetrocTrelawny at @BBCRadio3 "In Tune" 2 days ago (on release day of my symphony) - was fun, because it looks as if there's a wind machine just out of shot , blowing my hair off course! Thanks for having me. Link here: mikebatt.com/news/symphony . .
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
Morning all. Please help us to build some pre-orders - Here's the Amazon link for upcoming UKRAINE SYMPHONY! amazon.co.uk/Symphony-No-...
I think this may be the best song I've ever written. Recorded by 3 major artists but never been a single.
