SHOWCASE REVIEW at Chester Grosvenor-Pulford.
"The pick of the bunch on the afternoon session was SPY CANDY. Here
we have a six piece fun band with a genuinely gifted female vocalist and a zany
and wacky line in crowd approach. Dressed in various modes of fancy dress. Songs
from Beyonce and Aretha Franklin were convincingly performed from one of the
leaders in the live band field."
- Mark Ritchie The STAGE Newspaper
SHOWCASE REVIEW at Blackpool's Horseshoe Bar.
"SPY CANDY are a six piece band in fancy dress whose female vocalist
made a remarkable job of Aretha Franklin's Respect.... As for the rest of the
gang, there was a female bass player in hooker boots, a kilted calamity of a
man on guitar and Austin Powers on the bongos. Spy Candy where both eye-catching,
good to listen to and great fun."
- Mark Ritchie The STAGE Newspaper
