Caz Batten

2023 was a mixed bag at times but I'm choosing to remember the love, the music and the fun. Here's to 2024 🥂

Monday night madness... Food festival songs all sorted!

Half term fun: gigs, good friends and family time 💛

Magical day on @skomer_island yesterday ✨

Wow I think we’ve just about come down from this truly special evening on Friday at @portsmouthcathedral ✨🫶 @mayalaneuk @cazbatten @janeteayers The sun was shining all day, we had an incredible turn out with all the tickets sold out and we couldn’t have asked for 3 more special performances. We can’t wait to do this all over again soon! Massive thank you to the Portsmouth Cathedral team for seeing our vision and allowing us to bring our night to this beautiful space. To @shot_by_tony for capturing the night so perfectly 📸To Nia from @luvshiftingflowers for her unique and beautiful floral arrangement on stage 😍 to Ken Devine for being on sound duties and of course to all of you for packing out the Cathedral!

Spent my Friday evening facing the nerves that a solo show brings. It was a great evening! Played a new song for the first time and then got to listen to the beautiful voice of @mayalaneuk . Thank you @futurefolkevents 💛

We are so so so excited for this one! Join us at @portsmouthcathedral this Friday 24th May for our most exciting gig yet eeeek. Our very first Cathedral sessions at the stunning Portsmouth cathedral featuring the insanely talented @mayalaneuk @cazbatten and @janeteayers alongside her community choir ✨ It’s going to be a magical evening. Tickets will be £12! Head to the link in our bio to grab your tickets. #portsmouth #livemusicportsmouth #portsmouthcathedral #whatsonportsmouth #oldportsmouth #futurefolk #mayalane

Great bank holiday weekend with old friends, celebrating @simonleslie being 40. Fab party. Other events of the weekend: a fab @waifandstraymusic gig at the Rose in June for charity, some hilarious karaoke (those videos are locked in a vault 😂), an excellent roast with @char_the_pt & @ennjaydub and some family time today. Can every week be a 4 day week please?

Over the years, I've seen @nerinapallot play in all kinds of venues from Fopp in Tottenham Court Road to the @wedgewoodrooms . Every gig is brilliant, but there was something truly magical about last night's show at @thelondonpalladium . Fires will forever be one of my favourites, and it was so special hearing the album in full #nerinapallot

My new/old EP is finally available on Spotify 😂 I'd love it if you could go give the songs a listen, share them and follow me as an artist. These things really help when it comes to booking shows... and I might be booking some rare solo shows in the near future 😎

I've been rewatching the TV show Nashville recently and it's taking me back to 2015 when I got to visit the city. While I was there, I recorded 2 acoustic tracks at The Ryman in their studio. They've been available on bandcamp for years, and on the 7th April, they'll be available on Spotify too. I'd love it if you'd give them a listen ✨

@c2cfestival Day 2 was all about the Radio 2 stage in Indigo for us. Got there early for @brookeedenmusic and didn't leave until after @fancyhagood . Saw a full set from @abbeycone and @carterfaithofficial and fell more in love with their music. Even saw @masonramsey , who was great (sadly, no photo).
