Black Bird Collective emerged in 2011 as a grassroots, DIY music collective in Totnes. Founded by Christian Murison and Laurence Collyer, the group runs gigs, events, festivals, open mics, and a pop-up shop that donates proceeds to artists. They champion a collaborative approach to music, bringing together a mix of folk, indie, and world-inspired sounds with a community-first ethos. If you’re looking for authentic, hands-on music curation in the UK’s indie scene, you’ve found a friend in Black Bird Collective.
