The bb Collective was formed in 2006 to provide a fresh and soulful new approach to live music entertainment. Based in London, The bb Collective brings together the talents of musicians from various backgrounds in jazz, funk, rock and soul with two female vocalists, both called Bex, both with distinctive and powerful voices.

The band can be hired as a funky 6 piece or as an 8 piece with brass for the full Soul experience. Available for functions of all kinds, from weddings to large corporate events, the band will work with you to create the perfect line up of music for your event to keep guests dancing throughout the night. The combination of dynamic stage presence and the professionalism needed on important occasions will ensure you have complete piece of mind when working with The bb Collective.
