Symphonic Project: My “Ukraine” Symphony. — Mike Batt CROWDFUNDER CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED TO RAISE THE RECORDING COSTS

My "UKRAINE" SYMPHONY recording fund: just a reminder that we've switched from Kickstarter to CROWDFUNDER - so if you've pledged on KS, please kindly re-pledge to Crowdfunder instead. No need to cancel the Kickstarter pledge, it will disappear soon! mikebatt.com/news/ukraine...

The KICKSTARTER was a bit disappointing, - so with thanks to Kickstarter, we've switched to CROWDFUNDER Please have a look. If you pledged on Kickstarter, would you kindly transfer your pledge to crowdfunder? Sorry it's a bore. Onwards and upwards! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/a-ukraine-...

We are in advanced talks with a top UKRAINIAN Symphony Orchestra in Kyiv to record my "UKRAINE" Symphony. There's just a week left before the kickstarter closes, so now's the time to engage! £12k down, 26K to go! 😂 🥳 😱https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1209437234/mike-batt-a-symphony

Up to one third backed now! I know it’s optimistic with only a week to go, but let’s give it the big push! You never know! And if it doesn’t make the full target your card doesn’t get charged! Be a devil! 😈 🎶

UPDATE for my KICKSTARTER "UKRAINE SYMPHONY" backers. We are planning to record in KYIV with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine. But potential backers - we only have only 1 week left! And please REPOST! The kickstarter link is at my website: www.mikebatt.com 🙏🎶 @ukraineworld.bsky.social

I know I'm a pain in the arse - but for the next 12 days - till my "Ukraine" Symphony is funded, you'll be getting updates. Yesterday we were only on 8.9K, now pushing 10K - so it's gathering pace! So who'll take us to 10K? 😘

And relevant to the below, (my symphony) a word from the "Sexy Beast" movie script, as originally spoken by Ian McShane! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRoY...

Yep, great if you fancy getting behind this, - it’s a touch slow building but hopefully will come good! I think about 20 days to go! 🙂 🎶 #Symphony #ukraine #ukrainesymphony #kickstarter

This party, although incredible and star-studded, wasn’t interesting enough to make it into my memoir “THE CLOSEST THING TO CRAZY: My life of musical adventures” out now in paperback and hardback. @waterstones.bsky.social @republicmedia.bsky.social @bonnierbooksuk.bsky.social

Thanks Dr V. One week in, and 3 weeks to go, so it’s now we need the push. Big hitters also welcome! 👍
