There have been some really nice reviews on this year's Swedish summer tour. When West of Eden played at Falkenbergs Visfestival Hallands Nyheter wrote: "...this brilliant band makes their own interpretation of Irish music..here are all the the traditional instruments represented, and also the beautiful voice of the singer Jenny Schaub...West of Eden should, in my opinion, be annual guests of the festival."
