BathTub Orchestra

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. We are the BathTub Orchestra, a friendly community orchestra in Bath that plays everything from pop songs to classical favourites.

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.

You were a fantastic audience and we really appreciate your generosity and cheer! We would also like to thank the Humbugs, a wonderful local group who performed with us. We played a festive and varied set list, featuring some of our favourite tunes from different genres and eras.

Next, we added some reggae vibes with I Shot the Sheriff by Bob Marley, a song that always makes us feel groovy.
