The band can also provide a Jazz set with great songs from the 20s to today which works well as a background set during dinner or a drinks reception providing a special atmosphere without being intrusive on conversations. We bring a sound engineer with us to every event ensuring the sound quality is at its best for the different parts of the evening.

The band are more than happy to consider requests provided they have at least 6 weeks' notice and they feel it is in keeping with the style of the band. They can provide music on CD between sets in the soul/pop genre (and songs not included in their setlist), as well as Jazz music between their dinner sets. Please ask your agent for more details.

Refrences
“What a brilliant night, in no small part down to you guys, you play off each other excellently and all the band work really well together. You judged it perfectly knowing when to mingle with the Guests and what songs to play. The play-list worked really well, and I have heard nothing but praise from our friends. Your completely solved the dilemma for me of not wanting a DJ but wanting to entertain and involve our Guests -you really got everyone dancing, singing and moving to the grooving and I haven’t stopped humming the tunes in my head!”

Richard B booked The BB Collective for their event
“I must thank all of you for a great show and apologise for several things. Firstly, the speeches etc went on longer than hoped and my singing should have been curtailed, as it disrupted your programme, but EVERYONE has complimented me on the band and said how good you were and a few have already asked for your details. You really were fantastic.... thanks to all of you, for making my weekend so memorable....later this week I will forward some photos , once I have them from the photographer. I will also recommend you to any of my business friends who often have do’s such as mine... I will be your best marketing tool! Just one last thank you to the whole band for a great night!! ”
