'What a life, what a talent. Very funny and very quirky, but don't be fooled: just as remarkable musicianship lies behind the sweet accessibility of his best-known tunes, so a fearsome intelligence and a huge heart lie behind the immortal battiness of Batt. A fabulously readable and enjoyable ride from first to last' -- Stephen Fry 'Brilliantly told, the fascinating life of one of Britain's greatest songwriters' -- Matt Lucas 'A brilliant, funny, emotional book - I really enjoyed reading it' -- David Quantick I've known Mike Batt for half a century. I've seen his ups and downs (mainly ups) at close quarters and have been fascinated and staggered in equal measure, as readers of this memoir will be. I write words. He writes both words and music, conducts, produces, orchestrates and sings. Very annoying. Luckily he's also a good egg and a very funny one -- Tim Rice
