Jaerv – ”En mycket talangfull grupp musiker som väckt folkmusikens anda i en nyskapande musikstil med massa sväng och känsla. ”, ”Svängiga och skickliga”, ”Jaerv’s music blows me away every time I listen to it. Their original compositions are a great pleasure to listen to, and make me want to dance whenever I hear them; their arrangements of traditional songs and tunes are innovative, slick, and almost perfectly executed; their playing is masterful and tight, and their vocal harmonies are mellifluous and incredibly well-blended. When watching them performing live it’s obvious to me that they love what they do; there’s an infectious sense of joy in every saw of a bow, every pluck of a string, every beat from a drumstick and every breath emitting from a flute, saxophone or human mouth. This is a bunch of VERY deserving dudes, and I would love to see them awarded for their hard work, selflessness and dedication.”, ”Vilka musikaliskt begåvade killar! I flera terminer har de vid kick-offer för tusentals nya lärarstudenter stått för inspiration, fest och glädje. Enormt uppskattade bland universitetsstudenter och ansvariga för lärarutbildningen vid Göteborgs universitet!”, ”En outstanding grupp som tar publiken med storm. Utstrålning och musikalisk glädje flödar. Likaså gör den fantastiska femstämmiga sången. Sättet de hanterar sina instrument imponerar stort men det är inte en teknisk uppvisning det handlar om utan allt handlar om att förmedla en känsla och ge en upplevelse. Gruppen blandar nya egenskrivna låtar med hög klass med spännande arrangemang av äldre material. Utrymme finns också för det improviserade och influenser från bl.a. jazz. En grupp jag längtar efter att uppleva igen live!”

"Ni måste vara några av de mest talangfulla musikerna jag någonsin haft äran att lyssna på! Ni har inspirerat mig till folkmusikens värld och skapat en dröm om att en dag bli violinist. Tack så mycket!!"
