Dave was also an original member of the boyband ‘Our Kid’ who had a number 2 hit in 1976 with ‘You Just Might See Me Cry’. Also, both Lynn and Dave have been in bands with Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) and Chris Sharrock (now Robbie Williams' drummer).
Matt (‘James Bond’) was the drummer in the resident band at Liverpool's Cavern Club for 6 years and has played percussion in War of the Worlds with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.

Peter and Suzanne Booth
Hi Tracey, Many thanks for your email and for all of your help advising on and booking the band. The event went extremely well and “Spies Like Us” were excellent: There was great feedback from all of the guests about them and they really made a great party atmosphere which everyone enjoyed enormously. We were also very impressed with the support and service you provided us. We had tried several agencies for help and advice and yours stood out a country mile from the rest in terms of helpfulness, responsiveness and overall professionalism. Thank you. We hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again before our 50ths!

Spies Like Us are a perfect band for your James Bond party or 007 themed event. The theme songs from the James Bond movies are magnificent and memorable, and great to set the mood when played throughout dinner. But, they don't provide an ideal choice for a band to play if you are looking for a dancing/ party atmosphere later.
Spies Like Us broad approach - covering James Bond, Austin Powers, Mission Impossible and Charlie's Angels - fits in perfectly. To make your James Bond event go with a bang - book Spies Like Us.
The group is fully self-contained and requires only standard power points. The group also provide a light show, which can include smoke (specially fire alarm compatible!) - All optional to suit the venue and the audience.
In addition, Spies Like Us members carry full Public Liability Insurance from the Musician's Union and all electrical equipment is PAT certified.
2 x 45 mins standard, or 2 x 60 mins for extra charge
