'Spence is great.
I was gobsmacked at the range of his songwriting he's got everything from pop to rock to country and western, uptempo, ballads everything. Spence defies the laws of physics, he gives you it all, and more.' Henry Normal - Co-Founder of Baby Cow productions with Steve Coogan, Comedian, writer and Poet

'Hi Spence,
Thanks for a fantastic set on Friday, definitely looking forward to booking you again! As well as being a fantastic musician your personality and jokes made for a great evening that the customers actually felt involved in. See you again soon!' Cheers, Dawn & Chris - Managers of the Park Gate Inn, Bromsgrove 'Hi I saw you today whilst you were playing on New street (Birmingham).
I don't know you but there's something very special about the way you play and sing..Keep playing, please...See you again soon' Mir Marquez - Studying Popular music @ Birmingham City University 'Spence Cater's talent wasn't confined to his musical ability when he hosted the Open mic at the Prince of Wales Cambridge Street Birmingham.
Not only did he engage with the audience & have them participate in the entertainment, he also took time to talk with all the musicians & give them a personal introduction with facts about them. Spence is a very talented musician & host & added so much to the evening. We look forward to him hosting again!' Eva Bellamy - Manager of The Prince Of Wales, Birmingham. |

Spence Cater at The Civic, Stourport - on - Severn 23/05/2015
Spence Cater is a veteran performer.
He has years of busking and gigs around the country (and beyond) under his belt, and it shows.
His guitar style is unshowy, but he knows his way around the fretboard and augments his chords with licks and fills, and has a great way with dynamics. His voice is warm with an edge of gravel and employs light and shade to great effect.
The Civic crowd was sparse on a Bank Holiday Saturday night, but Spence worked the audience regardless. In a set comprising around 70% original material, Spence’s own songs were as well-received as the few covers he threw in - a testament to his writing skills. His patter was succinct and witty, raising a laugh with ease as if playing to old friends instead of complete strangers.
Wry humour is never far from the surface and Spence’s wordplay is a joy - “This relationship has sailed” being a typically clever line. Other songs demonstrate Spence’s diverse influences and he never falls into the singer-songwriter trap of too many songs with the same tempo/style/delivery.
An hour was gone all too soon and I for one was left wanting to hear more. On the night of Eurovision, Spence Cater was a refreshing change from mediocre manufactured Pop music.
Seek him out online, order his CD but, above all, get out and see Spence Cater live - a real treat!
