"Guillermo played at a memorial service for our family and friends. Outside. We asked him to play slow, sad and pretty. He did exactly that. A wonderful rendition of Over The Rainbow. He played an amplified acoustic guitar. Nice and loud over his PA system. Really talented guy. His fingers like an octopus moving up and down the fretboard. No mistakes, Latin flavor. I am sure he can play other genres as need be. He reads and writes music, cool guy."

"What an absolute pleasure it was to welcome Milovan to perform music from the movies played on his guitar at the inaugural Gandia International Film Music Festival. Milovan selected a super set list of tracks from cinema that thrilled the people of Gandia. Milovan was punctual, reliable and extremely professional. His performances were wonderful. His attitude and happiness were super contributions to the Gandia International Film Music Festival. A must have at any event if you want it to shine! Bravo and thank you Milovan, see you next year!"

"Ho avuto il piacere di ascoltarlo durante una cena in ristorante argentino. Ho trovato la scaletta sofisticata ed elegante. Non invasiva non prevaricante quindi molto molto piacevole. Lo consiglio in molte situazioni perché é veramente un accompagnamento di stile e molto piacevole"

"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. "

"Pete played for us at Chateau Canet in August as we renewed our vows to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. He played everything we’d asked for along with his own pieces. It was soft and intimate until after the ceremony and that’s when the crowd really got involved, everyone was dancing and singing along! He even let a couple from the party play a piece which was great fun. We would DEFINITELY recommend Pete to play for any occasion."

"Wonderful! Stephan is an incredibly talented musician, and charming young man. I completely trusted him to make my daughter’s wedding ceremony exactly what she wanted – very unique and special. I gave him a list of some special songs and a general idea, and he magically made it happen. These were all pieces that were completely non-traditional that he had to acquire and learn! I cannot express to you how amazingly perfect his performance was; timing, skill, intuition, and beauty."

"Stephan provided the ceremony music and cocktail hour music at my wedding and he was nothing short of amazing. From the interaction to confirm the services to making sure everything was in order prior to the event, and providing the music I was looking for at my wedding, I highly recommend Stephan for any wedding event. He is truly talented and is a must if you want the live musical detail at your wedding. Thank you, Stephan!"
