EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the R A Lister Military Band performing at the Roman Baths in Bath during the 1930s. The band, dressed in their smart military uniforms, are positioned on the stone steps leading down into the ancient Roman Bath, surrounded by the historic buildings and structures of this famous tourist destination. The musicians, with their wind, woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments at the ready, seem to blend seamlessly with the ancient ruins and the misty, atmospheric weather. The image features a diverse range of instruments, including French horns, tubas, bassoons, cornets, trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, and kettle drums. The band's conductor stands at the front, directing the ensemble with a focused expression and a raised baton. The soldiers in the background, some of whom are also musicians, watch and listen intently. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with the military band adding a sense of grandeur and pageantry to the historic site. The Roman Baths, which date back over 2,000 years, have long been a popular attraction for visitors to Bath, and the addition of the military band would have added an extra special touch to their experience. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of Bath and the importance of music and military traditions in shaping our past. It is a striking image that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
