Cat Stevens
Cathryn Craig & Brian Willoughby
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dana and Susan Robinson
Eagles
Harvey Andrews
James Taylor
Janis Ian
Jim Croce
Linda Ronstadt
Linda Thompson
Magna Carta

A gentle blend of acoustic guitars and vocal harmony...
What a great pleasure to hear jiva twice in a week. Firstly at the Davy Lamp Folk Club and then at the Clarence in Blackpool.
An act maturing with every show, and now displaying that precious ability to write songs that capture an audience's heart. The song about best friends is a pure winner. Superb!!!
Anthony John Clarke
I can’t get enough of their exquisite and gentle playing/singing. I don’t know what it is they have that’s so special, but I do know they have lots of it.
Terry Ferdinand, Bishop FM Radio
Thanks again for your music - I find it soothing, emotional and just what music should be - thought provoking.
