Press Quotes:

”They have really reached the master class and have both roots, musical nerve and ability to play to a big audience at home and abroad. Anja Præst's clarinets run up and down in harmony with Jesper Vinthers accordeon, and Jesper Falch is an incredibly present and live rhythmist. I really works well, Karen Mose is a gifted and clear vocalist – you just have to take off your hat and say: That's the way to do it!” – RootsZone (DK)
