What long-time Spandau Ballet fans say after seeing So True live
I’ve been attending live shows for many years and have seen a wide range of highly regarded tribute bands. So True stands very close to the very best — a polished, confident performance delivered to a consistently high standard.
Allen M
Just seen you at Dereham. Having seen Spandau Ballet live many times over the years, I have to admit I was sceptical at first. But the show completely won me over. The musicianship was spot on throughout — every member of the band clearly masters their instrument. A genuinely impressive and well-performed live show
Lana Kiddell
Close your eyes and you could easily mistake the voice for Tony Hadley. The vocal performance is remarkably close to the original, delivered with control, tone and confidence that clearly respects the sound Spandau Ballet fans know so well
Josie T
