Over the last few years I have had the privilege of being able to book Spectrum to perform at the Auckland Jazz and Blues Club, and for private functions. Each time, they have present a programme of very suitable material for that particular audience.
- Mike Walker (President), Auckland Jazz and Blues Club
Spectrum were a fantastic addition to the Veuve Clicquot Marquee at the Clevedon Polo. The theme of the day was the 1950s, Retro Chic and the Trio helped bring this theme to life. The music was upbeat and they sounded fantastic! Guests were loving the music & the chill vibes and they were excellent to work with on the day! I would absolutely recommend Spectrum to other clients & friends and would happily work with them again.
- Bex Gower, Dark Horse
We were absolutely blown away by Spectrum. They were the real deal - so professional, flexible, obliging and incredibly talented. Our guests were constantly asking us how we found them through the evening. We would definitely recommend Spectrum for any event. Their music complimented our wedding day so perfectly, there’s just nothing like live jazz music from a band that are truly so passionate!
