"5,0 03 Aprile 2021, Percussionista Svariate le collaborazioni con Carlo capace di creare un arrangiamento nell'arrangiamento sempre pertinente. In questo progetto Plays Piazzolla ha veramente superato ogni possibilità esecutiva e interpretativa con brani che richiedono capacità tecnico-esecutive di altissimo livello senza tralasciare il Cuore del Tango Nuevo. Suggerisco l'acquisto del suo primo disco nonché di ascoltarlo live. Atmosfere magiche. Un toque Flamenco. E' la firma di Calderano."

"What a treat! I stopped by Mercado District for some food and ended up getting so much more. It was like a private concert by Dr. Saxy. He’s absolutely incredible! His smooth, soulful playing completely elevated the atmosphere and made my afternoon. So much talent! If you ever get the chance to hear him live, don’t miss it. "

"¡Un excelente guitarrista flamenco! ¡Miguel Morena nos salvó! Estábamos tratando de comunicarnos con otro guitarrista flamenco para proporcionar música ambiental durante la hora de cóctel de bodas, y era muy difícil llegar a ellos. Tuvimos un mes antes de la boda, cuando decidimos darle una oportunidad a bodas. Net. Miguel fue rápido en responder y completamente profesional a lo largo de esta transacción y experiencia. Él trae su propio equipo (altavoces, guitarra, etc. ) y solo requiere una silla. Nuestros invitados realmente disfrutaron de su música y estoy feliz de que haya ayudado a que nuestra boda sea un día tan especial. Su precio es excelente en comparación con los otros dos artistas de los que solicitamos servicios. Definitivamente recomendaría a Miguel para su ceremonia de boda, eventos y entretenimiento sorpresa durante la recepción."

"Even on a murky February morning (2005), the first performance in July of our new commission doesn’t seem too far away. Jane Roper tells us about the composer and the composition: Howard’s way If you ever get a chance to talk to Howard Haigh about composing, take it. He has a huge range of experience, good insights into the creative process, and he communicates his enthusiasm for his work so well, I guarantee you will be both enthralled and inspired. And now he's working for us! I thought you might like to read a bit of background to his career and to his current commission. Although Howard is happily settled up north in Lancaster he trained near us; a BA Performing Arts/Music at Middlesex Polytechnic was followed by a Masters in Music/Composition at the University of London. He studied composition with Brian Dennis and David Bedford; had tutorials with Michael Finissy, George Benjamin and John Cage, and studied flamenco guitar with Paco Pena, Juan Serrano, Manuel Granados and Titi Losada. We think of him principally as a Spanish guitarist, but he also studied mandolin, keyboards, percussion, harmonica and vocal techniques. He has written for most instrumental combinations, from solo guitar, small ensembles and string quartets to bands, girls’ choirs, large choruses, electronic scores and computer music. Howard combines composing with teaching throughout the north west. He has taught guitar at Lancaster University since 2000. He is a member of the English National Ballet's Education and Community Unit, and is engaged in outreach projects in schools throughout England. The nature of this work may range from musical accompanist to residencies in which he composes an original score for a short performance. He has done similar work for Ballet Rambert and the Royal Ballet. His work has been performed at the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall, Sadler's Wells (for the Queen) and the Purcell Room; and at festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton, Cheltenham and WOMAD. One of his great strengths is his ability to collaborate with people from a wide range of performing disciplines. I've found out that as well as working closely with singers, dancers, and actors, he has also worked with jugglers, comedians, strippers, a skiffle group, film makers and performance artists. No problem working with us then. And then add a massive list of theatre companies, musicals, community projects and commissions and it's no wonder he's always out when I call. In the 1980's Howard composed some extraordinary pieces using unusual instruments. Body Music used claps, stamps, clicks and slaps. This was followed by Kitchen Music. I bet you didn't know that Alan Titchmarsh played the saucepan in this on Pebble Mill. There was also a pre-Prom show on Radio 3 featuring unusual percussion prior to Evelyn Glennie's performance. But by the late '80s his explorations were focusing on vocal writing. Crouch End Festival Chorus gave him an exciting opportunity when they commissioned him in 1990. I heard them perform Saeta again in the Barbican last January. It was sensational. I can't even remember what the second half standard-repertoire piece was; I was still high on Howard's piece and wanted them to sing it again. "

"Ruud is a very charming man who plays beautiful cheerful guitar music. We, and our guests, really enjoyed his performance during our garden party. His beautiful guitar playing made our party extra special. We heartily recommend Ruud if you want to spoil your guests with beautiful live music."
