Vive (a cappella group)

Vive was a 6-part a cappella group from England, United Kingdom.

Consisting of a line-up of five guys and a girl (Bass, Baritone, two Tenors, male Alto and Soprano), it builds upon the contemporary a cappella sound, taking inspiration from the legendary Take 6 and The Real Group.

They won the final of The Voice Festival UK 2013 and were presented with the Ward Swingle Award for outstanding originality, outstanding musicality and also best arrangement.^[1]

The group disbanded in late 2014.
