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. If you want to join us or find out more about us, please visit our website or follow us on social me...

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...

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...
