BathTub Orchestra

Rain, Rounders, and Rafter-Raising Music! Well, what a weekend for the BathTub Orchestra! Our recent camping trip to Devon was an epic mix of classic British weather, incredible music, and the kind of community spirit that makes being a BathTubber truly special. It all kicked off on Friday with a proper West Country welcome: relentless, heavy rain. But did that dampen our spirits? Absolutely not! As one BathTubber put it, we were "chatting and drinking beer till late on Friday night, with the rain thundering down on Megan's awning, with a few other people crazy enough to have chosen to sleep in a field on an exposed hillside." That's dedication for you! It was clear from the get-go that "being a BathTubber extends way beyond being a member of an orchestra. The BathTub Orchestra has grown into a community with a unity, an importance, greater (I imagine) than the founders ever conceived." Saturday saw us head to Lyme Regis for our first performance.

We would like to thank Mytton Williams , a local brand and design agency based in the historic city of Bath, for designing a new brand and logo for the BathTub Orchestra. They created a professional design brief which identified key traits of the orchestra to include in the new logo, and provided us with three options. After a short discussion with part of the orchestra, we gave them feedback and they quickly made a few small tweaks. We are very happy with the end result. We've already started using the new logo on this website, social media, and posters that you may have seen around town. We've also bought a new banner featuring the logo which you'll see at our next gig at Bath Vegan Festival this Saturday at noon. It also folds up really small!

We rocked the Bath Fringe Festival on Saturday 10th June 2023. We played at St. Michael’s Church, a beautiful historic venue in Bath. We had a great time playing a variety of songs from movies and pop culture. We also had a lovely audience who cheered us on. We played songs from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Godfather, The Draughtsman’s Contract, James Bond, The Last of the Mohicans, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Bladerunner, Chariots of Fire, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission Impossible. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did. We want to thank everyone who came to see us and supported us. We also want to thank the Bath Fringe Festival for inviting us to play.

It was a fun musical adventure with Ramshackle Orchestra at Christchurch Bath, as we explored a range of genres and styles. From Stevie Wonder’s soulful Living For The City to David Guetta’s catchy Titanium, we kept the audience on their toes with our eclectic set list. We also showed off our skills in jazz, blues, rock and classical music, with tunes like Chameleon, Universal, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and We Have All the Time in the World. And of course, we couldn’t resist adding some movie magic with themes from Once Upon a Time in the West, The Last of the Mohicans, Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission Impossible. We ended the night with a bang, playing Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics and getting everyone to tap along. We are so grateful to the Ramshackle Orchestra for inviting us to join them for this concert. They are a fantastic group of musicians who share our passion for making music accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We loved their lively and energetic performance, and w...
