The Closest Thing to Crazy - My Life of Musical Adventures
Mike Batt - Book - By Mike Batt
(2024)
Mike Batt has led an extraordinarily vibrant and challenging life that
has been full of both glorious victories and bitter failures. For
better or for worse, he is a man who has always lived life on his own
terms. Idiosyncratic but mainstream, complicated but compassionate,
steadfastly maverick in spirit but avowedly commercial in outlook.
He is a man of great contradictions, but even greater talent. After
starting out in the music business as a teenager, Batt shot to fame in
the early 1970s for his part in the creation of the Wombles pop group.
But this success proved to be just the beginning as he then went on to
work with various artists as a songwriter, composer and producer,
including Art Garfunkel, George Harrison, Cliff Richard, Andrew
Lloyd-Webber and Katie Melua.
Featuring cameos from some of
the biggest stars in the business from Paul McCartney to Prince, The
Closest Thing to Crazy takes us not only on the rocky (and classical)
journey of Mike Batt's life but also on a tour around the inside of his
mind.
