He made us sing, he made us dance - it was sheer joy

It was a weekend to remember in Bath, one of the best.

- By Nancy Connolly

He made us sing, he made us dance - it was sheer joy

The combination of rugby and music fans created a euphoria in the city unrivalled for decades, with the Robbie Williams concerts at the Royal Crescent and Bath Rugby celebrating a historic treble winning season.

The hills of Bath were alive with music (although Bath Rugby fans really need to come up with a good song, Come On You Bath just doesn’t cut it in my opinion and doesn’t sound that great from the Bathwick hills where I live).

But Robbie Williams, one of the best entertainers in the world, really rocked music fans at his concerts on Friday and Saturday night.

There was great anticipation in the air on Friday afternoon as fans gathered early in the city in the bright June sunshine.
