Formed in 2001, The Collective have been spreading their unique soul sound around the Midlands ever since, performing at weddings, parties, bars and clubs to audiences from all walks of life. The Collective guarantee to make your function, wedding or party an event to remember!

Glen Jarvis – Vocals

Think Otis, James Brown and Wilson Pickett. Frontman Glen has been heading up the Collective for four years. His aggressive and relentless style has helped create the exciting show that the band is so popular for.

Aimee Matthews - Vocals

New recruit Aimee's lively performances have brought a new energy to the Collective experience, and together with Glen, provides an unstoppable front line!

Alex Woods – Piano/Sax/Vocals



Also filling the position of lead alto in MYJO (The Midland Youth Jazz Orchestra), Alex changes from piano to sax with breathtaking proficiency on both instruments, and for the second half of the show, makes up half of the legendary “Transit Horn Section”. His exciting solos are also something to watch out for!

Tommy Jennings – Trumpet/Guitar



As well as displaying some smooth moves in the horn section, Tommy has a renowned screamin’ guitar style, which takes some of the rockier numbers to the next level!

‘Deadly’ Doug McMillan – Lead Guitar

Deadly Doug has some serious soul, and some serious chops to go with it. Also a member of MYJO, with a surely prosperous musical career ahead of him, Doug helps lay down some serious grooves. Watch out for some mind blowing solos too!

Jim Jennings – Drums

When trombonist Jim started messing around with a drumkit in 2000, little did he know that by 2008, he’d be the backbone of one of the hottest rhythm sections around. Jim can really lay it down, and his tireless leadership has recently helped bring the band to a new level of smooth groove.

Nick Roberts – Bass/Backing Vocals

Bassist Nick, a former cellist, picked up a bass 5 years ago to help out with a local big band, and hasn’t looked back since. Nick and Jim’s tight sound give the funkiest backdrop for the rest of the band to create some serious musical magic!
