Carlos B Norton
Radio Universitária do Algarve RUA.FM, Portugal “Everything sounds great in Jaiya's new release: instruments, vocals, arrangements, music choice, which all make this album full of harmony and feeling. One of the good releases from 2006!”

Scazzola Giovanni Pietro
Radio Gold Popular Network, Italy “JAIYA – Firedance, the subtitle of this album is already a good program: Songs for Winter Solstice. Then it astonishes - the simple richness of such simple instrumental ingredients: the power of primeval elements (just as fire, sun or the power of dancing together) is spread all by the archaic sound of harp, the ancestral beating of percussion, the harmonic-melodic blowing of accordion-whistle and the magic of singing together. Ranging from ancient-medieval flavour to Celtic, to world influences, JAIYA all original instrumental-vocal sound prepares us for the best music to come!”

Peter Togni, CBC Radio, Canada “Firedance has freshness, style and clarity… given freely with conviction and passion!”

CBC Radio Canada “Thanks for the CD. We're lovin’ it here at CBC Maritimes Weekend Mornings...”

To celebrate Beltane in such a personal, musical way, is no mean feat in itself. Jaiya has that ability to draw you in whilst comforting you on their musical journey. An exceptional album!”

Terry Neal, Radio Logan Inc 101FM – Australia ”Brought back great memories and emotions about the northern hemisphere for me. Having lived there for 10 years it gave the feeling of a "coming home" to the uniqueness of Scotland especially even though I now live in an entirely different climate. An excellent album!!

Annie Zee, Australia
