By then financially successful, Batt moved on to work with various artists as a songwriter/producer, most successfully with Steeleye Span and their most successful single and album "All Around My Hat" in 1975. Also in 1975, at the end of the summer, he entered the UK Singles Chart with the only hit under his own name (credited "Mike Batt with the New Edition") with "Summertime City" — used as the theme music to "Seaside Special", the BBC Television series recorded in various UK seaside resorts – which reached number 4.
