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

It was a good performance. At some moments, a little more music could have been played. The communication with Ruud was good.

The performance of DJ Sax (Ruud) was really great! Especially the accompaniment with his saxophone to many songs was fantastic. He got the dance floor full! We received many compliments from our guests! Thanks Ruud!

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!!!

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)
