3PB is Plan B Big Band. We are a long-time collective of some of Melbourne’s most diverse and experienced musicians.  Once affiliated with ‘B’ for Box Hill, Plan B has kept only the name and expanded our range of talent and resources.  Our repertoire consists of big-band arrangements from many music eras:  classic swing, jazz standards, latin & afro-latin classics, and even rock, pop and R&B.  All with a big-band style.  The incredible Julia Sandel is our vocalist, and she handles it all so beautifully, from soulful highs to whisper-like ballads and blues.  3PB is a hard-swinging band you won’t want to miss at The Retreat Hotel.

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which The Retreat now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
