Gerard Cooke in Land of Lights, Jun 4th, p28; (Turkish newspaper in English): “What a week that was!… Returning to the festival for the fourth time, Scott Jeffers Traveler from the USA enchanted crowds in Fethiye and Kayaköy with his multifaceted selection of tunes, described as a “multi-cultural musical experience fusing Gypsy, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Greek and Turkish styles with Rock”. One beautiful piece, named ‘Kadyanda’, was inspired by his visit last year to the ancient Lycian archaeological site at Üzümlü, near Fethiye.“
