Mike Batt was born at the 6th of February 1949 in Southampton. Before he left school, he played in several school-bands like 'Phase 4',an unknown Southampton group (1965), they did a few weddings at empty youth clubs but never recorded anything - in contrast to 'Phase 4' from Newcastle, round about the vocalist & guitarist Norman Nossiter on vocals, piano and organ cover-versions from 'The 'Beatles', 'Rolling Stones' or 'Kinks'.With his first earned money - as a singer by the duo 'That Lady's Twins', as an organ-player in a strip-club and with several advertising jingles for the likes of Guinness and Smarties - he financed his first trips from Southampton to London, where he tried to offer his first composed songs to music- and record-companies. Accidentally he found a newspaper advertisement from 'Liberty Records', searching for a literary hack - and he got the job. One year later, at the age of 19, he was the Artist & Repertoire Manager at Liberty-Records and published his first singles.
His recent solo album, “A Songwriter’s Tale” achieved the number 24 position in the UK album charts in 2008.
Mike Batt will be performing in UK this year. He will perform on Mon, May 24, 2010 at Cadogan Hall, London,United Kingdom.
