"It created the perfect atmosphere under the Spanish Sun and a great start to our day! For cocktail hour, he played international fusion and flamenco, and several guests came up to Jesús to tell him how much they enjoyed his music and several guests told us how much they enjoyed it. We had international guests from Romania, Portugal and United States and everyone enjoyed the music! He created the perfect atmosphere for a perfect day for us! Pleas don´t hesitate to book Jesús for your wedding in Andalucía. You will not regret it! Jesús was also very communicative with me throughout the planning process which I appreciated it, I never felt like I had to worry as he was very organized. Our wedding was originally planned for May 2020 and Jesús was very flexible when we had to change the date twice due to the pandemic. Thank you so much! I wish I could relive the day all over again!"

"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. "

"Daniel did a great show on my wedding day. He really livened up the atmosphere with his rumba energy and even from another event that was next to our wedding, they wanted to join our party where Daniel was doing his show. Daniel is a very good guitar player and adapts perfectly to what the event needs at any given moment. At times he can play excellent quiet Spanish guitar to give an atmosphere of instrumental music and he can also play popular tunes that get everyone dancing and singing along. Highly recommended for any serenade, wedding or event with Spanish music."

"Glenn performed at our ceremony almost two weeks ago. He was brilliant, and very accommodating of the (strict) regulations our historical venue had about amplified sound, which we were very appreciative of! I would thoroughly recommend Glenn for your special event. Thank you!"
