The assignment was lounge music with some solo sax music! Ruud succeeded in all! It was a very nice performance on the event we had organised! Thanks again Ruud!!
, S.kaya
Ruud provided a great evening. He matched the music perfectly to the atmosphere, with songs for both children and parents. From young to old, everyone enjoyed. Afterwards, Ruud even stayed a little longer for a fun afterparty with just the staff. It was an evening to remember
, Petra
Ruud played at our birthday party. It was absolutely super.
, Cindy
What a topper Ruud is! He made it a top evening for us! Thank you so much Ruud!
, Arij en Jessie Hoogendam
Ruud specially came earlier so he could quietly get everything ready. He also offered himself to play the lounge music afterwards during dinner and arrange the audio for guest pieces. He could have stuck to the booked times and declined, but this extra effort was much appreciated. Ruud always responded very quickly and professionally as well. Top night had, thanks Ruud!
, Martine
This man makes it a beautiful party! Really fantastic!

For our ball of paradise, we hired Ruud and a DJ. This combo was a resounding success. His performance whipped up the room so there was a lot of dancing. The atmosphere was great. In short, a magical, memorable evening. In addition, he is a nice person to deal with. I can heartily recommend him!
, Jos
Super nice performance, contact beforehand was good and used the requests we had in advance well during the concert.
, Léon
Also thanks to Ruud a very successful drink/BBQ. Ruud took care of the music and played the sax. He feels the atmosphere perfectly. Quiet beginning but eventually the tables were put aside and the feet of the floor. Perfect. Highly recommended.

Beforehand there was email contact, phone and app contact. Also the day before to double check everything. On the evening itself the music fit very well. Playing the saxophone was really an extra dimension and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our guests were also very satisfied with the music. Almost everyone hit the dance floor. Great!
, Monique
The act was hearty fun. Contact went very well, called right away when he was a little late, but there was a big problem on the highway so everyone was 15 minutes late. He was booked especially for the parents and he had empathized and adapted songs especially for them.
, niek
Great! Good artist with whom handsome flexible arrangements can be made.
, Suze
It was a lot of fun. The atmosphere was brought in very well. There was a small problem with the sound, but in the end it went fine and the audience didn't notice anything. The contact beforehand via app was good.
, Ayse en Jeffrey
Hele aangename vriendelijke man! Ruud is een geweldige saxofonist! Proffesioneel en past zich goed aan elk soort muziek. We hebben erg genoten! Ons dank voor Ruud.
, Frank
Super avond gehad Veel gasten waren positief verrast en hebben genoten. De combinatie DJ en sax was fantastisch. Ruud speelde er perfect op in wat we wilden horen, zeker omdat we diverse kategorien in leeftijd hadden. Voor iedereen was er passende muziek en ook de muziekaanvragen werd ingemixed. Een aanrader voor ieder feest. Bedankt Ruud, mede dankzij jou hebben we een feest gehad waar we nog vaak aan zullen praten. Als we weer een feestje hebben in de toekomst dan zullen we Ruud zeker weer boeken
, Oldlion
Ruud past zich feilloos aan bij de sfeer en omstandigheden en heeft de feestvierders blij gemaakt met zijn muziek.
, Miri
How immensely we and our guests enjoyed the music. In one word: perfect. Thanks to Ruud it was one of the best days of our lives. He brought a fantastic atmosphere with his Saxophone and young and old were dancing on the dance floor. We thank Ruud for this fantastic day.

Ruud I will definitely book again at my next event super sweet professional everyone stayed really focused watching his show as saxophonist! I am super satisfied as dj super good music better than what I had in picture when I booked him!
, Pierre
It was really great a class artist, definitely worth booking.
, Annemarie
Ruud feels the atmosphere well and knows how to respond to it. We enjoyed
, Niek
Ruud made it a great afternoon! In consultation I gave him the complete freedom of choice of music and he feels flawlessly what the audience (60 people ca.70 years) likes in terms of taste. The dance floor was quickly occupied with additional pieces on the Saxophone which everyone visibly enjoyed! In short, well before the party started Ruud had already installed everything he needed and afterwards, with out running, we look back on a very attentive professional who quickly responds to wishes such as a microphone available when someone wants to say something. We will definitely visit a performance of Ruud and besides that listen along on Spotify! Ruud thanks, on behalf of Niek and Ingrid
, Mitchel
It was a good performance. At some moments, a little more music could have been played. The communication with Ruud was good.

, Frans
The performance of soulax DJ and tenor saxophonist Ruud de vries exceeded our expectations, both in terms of the genre of music Ruud played and the quality of the music. All our guests (including ourselves) were extremely enthusiastic and especially because of his performance we had a fantastic swinging evening. Several of our guests even asked us: "Where did you get that from?
, Richard
Yes, all expectations were exceeded. Ruud started quietly in the arrival hall to welcome the people and later the roof off when he played along with the DJ. Highly recommended!!!
, michael

, Arnout
Thanks to Ruud we had a fantastic party. Ruud feels good about the atmosphere he has to create with the music and in combination with his saxophone he is enjoying it! Ruud is very sociable and keeps his appointments. An absolute must. Ruud thanks!
, Margit
Ruud completed what we wanted from our first contact. He sensed very well which song fitted at which moment and played all our favourite songs and supported them from time to time with the Saxophone. We and our guests enjoyed it. Good timing. Even though he had to go up and down twice because of different venues it was perfect. Especially because he gave our 2 singers my husband who played oknog mouth organ and my daughter gave her boyfriend the opportunity to sing their song as well. He kept on playing until the end of the party. Thanks a lot Ruud. It was an unforgettable day also because of you. Rik and Margit from Leek (Groningen)
