A fun musical adventure with Ramshackle Orchestra

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 we hope to collaborate with them again in the future. We also want to thank everyone who came to support us and cheer us on. We really appreciate your enthusiasm and feedback. You are the reason we do what we do!


If you missed this concert, don’t worry - we have more exciting events coming up soon. Stay tuned for updates on our website and social media. And if you want to join us as a player or a listener, you are always welcome. Get in contact!

From first meeting to debut performance!

From 23rd October 2018 to 30th November 2018, we made the journey from a group of strangers to a fully fledged performing orchestra - that's just 6 weeks' practice! The first rehearsal... When Tony (keyboard) and Ed (musical director) decided to form an orchestra, they didn't know what to expect. So it must have been really pleasing to see around fourteen people show up for the first rehearsal. Everyone was a bit nervous - we were nearly all strangers - and we had quite a broad range of experience within the group. It was a bit like the first day at school! We'd had the music to practice for about a month beforehand so it was really exciting to go from practicing at home alone to playing with a room full of about fourteen other musicians - you could see the excitement on Ed's face when he heard the first bars of his arrangements being played back to him by a group of strangers. Practice, practice, practice You could really hear the sound develop each week as we star...

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.
