Frequently Asked Questions

How long has The Battersby Duo been together

We have been performing for kids since 1983. We only started doing it as a lark, and because we enjoyed watching the kids have fun. It worked. Now, 40 years later, those same kids who we sang for in '83 are bringing their kids and grandkids to see our shows. It's so rewarding to watch how proud they are, and to see their smiling faces.

Wher do you perform these days?

Five years ago, we retired from performance, but are still very active in children's lives. We still record music and write books 

Are you involved with The Recording Academy?

Yes, we are very involved with Grammy. Each year, we vote for young children's artists we think are committed to furthering quality music for children. We have also written 25 novels on varying subjects, including comedy, mystery, and children's novels.
