Our Comeback Gig in Alice Park

It had been far too long, but on Sunday 17th October 2021, after all of the disruption of the pandemic we finally made a return to live performing with a free concert in Alice Park. And here is a clip:

The BathTub Orchestra go camping

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."

A new logo for the BathTub Orchestra

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