We had a blast at our Christmas concert

We had a blast at our Christmas concert this Friday!

We performed at the beautiful Bath Citadel, a historic venue that was filled with festive cheer and a lovely audience. We played a variety of tunes, from classical to pop, to celebrate the season and showcase our musical talents.

We started with Adagio, a soothing piece that set the mood for the evening. Then we switched gears and played Fairytale of New York, a catchy song that got everyone singing along. We followed with Largo La Pioggia, a rainy melody that reminded us of the winter weather outside. Next, we played Lighthouse Keeper, a sweet song that warmed our hearts.

We continued with some classic Christmas songs, such as Santa Baby, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Silent Night. We added some fun twists and surprises to make them more lively and entertaining. We also played Stop the Cavalry, a catchy tune that made us feel rather nostalgic. Then we rocked out with Christmas Wrapping, a funky song that got us all in a grove.

We ended our set with two amazing pieces: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Walking in the Air. The first one was a thrilling spy theme that made us feel like James Bond. The second was an updated version of the classic. We got a round of applause from the audience and we felt so proud of ourselves.

We want to thank everyone who came to see us and supported us. We had so much fun playing for you and we hope you enjoyed our music as much as we did. We also want to thank our conductor and the venue for making this concert possible. We couldn’t have done it without you.

We wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

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.

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...
