A few quotes on Bren’s Music: "It's been Such a privilege to play this every day, I love it! Bren Haze, And You Know." BBC Track of the week "And You Know " 2nd Album from “Step Out Of The Haze”. Kate Justice - BBC Hereford & Worcester Presenter
“The Amazing talent Bren haze. This chap has a stunning unique solo set and I’m sure it won’t be long before he attracts some major attention” “He’s got a great stage presence” “watch out world!” Andy O’Hare – BBC Artist Reviewer
“All Bren Haze’s songs are a mix of exciting, on the edge of danger rock guitar mixed with softer storytelling, They are musical poems of hope and new beginnings through adversity or sorrow.” Flicky Harrison – Media Journalist / Swindon Advertiser
“A tad of James Taylor in vocals and song writing with Richie sambora-esque guitar and undertones of Aerosmith” Shirley Fraiser - Follower
“A versatile and extremely talented performer with true rock & roll swagger, and an army of dedicated female fans (as his set at Down On The Farm demonstrated), but a thoroughly decent chap as well.” John H – Hereford Live Down On The Farm Festival
“Bren is equally at home firing off high octane rock riffs as he is following delicate acoustic lines. And it is those twin abilities that very much inform this new album, a collection of songs that manage to blend subtlety with drive, power with restraint, soaring electric playing with gently picked acoustics.” Dave Franklin – Wiltshire Music Journalist
Bren is also an official sponsor and supporter of Malamute Matters A Global Dog Welfare Charity
