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!

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.

New music for Autumn 2019

After five weeks off for summer, we're back with weekly rehearsals, new songs and getting ready for a Christmas concert. Writing a few days after our first rehearsal since the summer break, this post introduces the latest music of BathTub Orchestra. Dusting off that instrument Five weeks feels like such a long time so I was really looking forward to picking up my bass guitar and rehearsing with everybody again (I confess I spent far more time relaxing on holiday than playing during the break). While most of us were enjoying our summer holidays, our musical director Edward had been hard at work arranging our latest new pieces... On Her Majesty's Secret Service We already have Mission Impossible in our repertoire, so it's exciting to add another classic theme tune. Composed by John Barry, this is the only Bond theme which is completely instrumental and I think it sounded pretty good during our first run through. We Have All The Time In The World This ballad was featured in th...
