Bath has a rich history of hosting legendary music concerts, from the Beatles era to modern-day artists. Author Simon Hurford, known for his work on pop music at Bath Pavilion, is seeking input from music enthusiasts for his upcoming book. He invites readers to share their personal concert highlights, memories, and opinions on the city’s pop music scene from 1960 to 2025.
The city’s venues have witnessed performances by renowned artists throughout the years. The Regency Ballroom, The Pavilion, Bath Forum, Bath University, and The Theatre Royal have all played a significant role in shaping Bath’s music history. From The Beatles to Blur, and from punk to pop, Bath has been a stage for a diverse range of musical acts.
The recent closure of the Moles Club, with its illustrious history of hosting now-famous acts, signifies the end of an era for Bath’s grassroots music scene. Simon is particularly interested in gathering memories related to landmark events such as the Bath Blues Festival and the Aquae Sulis Incident.
