'BathSongs' by Sam Eason // March-June 2015
Intriguing. Entertaining. Unique. An ambitious musical project searching under the skin of Bath’s history for forgotten characters and their stories. In less than three months, singer-songwriter Sam Eason set out to research, write and record up to ten new modern folk songs about the quirky eccentrics and overlooked happenings from 500 years of Bath history. The resulting songs were played in full during a special one-off show at The Old Theatre Royal (Orchard Street Theatre) on Saturday 6th June as part of Bath Fringe 2015.

BathSongs Project Scrapbook
Below is a bit of a scrapbook-style journal of my BathSongs project (which I kept mainly to keep myself a bit focussed on the goals and track my own progress!) I hope it serves to add a bit of context to the project and fills in some of the gaps as to what work went into it all! If you have any feedback, suggestions or questions, please feel free to get in touch via the contact page here!
READA record of my blog posts about BathSongs with reflections, updates and more info about the who, what, where, when, and whys!
