Rocking Movie and Pop Songs at the Bath Fringe Festival

We rocked the Bath Fringe Festival on Saturday 10th June 2023. We played at St. Michael’s Church, a beautiful historic venue in Bath. We had a great time playing a variety of songs from movies and pop culture. We also had a lovely audience who cheered us on.


We played songs from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Godfather, The Draughtsman’s Contract, James Bond, The Last of the Mohicans, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Bladerunner, Chariots of Fire, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission Impossible. We hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.


We want to thank everyone who came to see us and supported us. We also want to thank the Bath Fringe Festival for inviting us to play. 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 media.

Thank you for reading our blog post and stay tuned for more updates from us.

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!

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...
