Oi Va Voi were wonderful at Islington Assembly Hall last night. The incredible musicianship, the klezmer-fuelled melodies, the very special atmosphere in the room… Just spellbinding @oivavoimusic

I couldn’t get an event cancelled in Brighton with artists who CELEBRATED the October 7 massacre. But a Jewish klezmer band just got cancelled for one of their members having artwork of them collecting watermelons. The world is MAD.
And now a British Jewish band, Oi Va Voi, who sing about humanity and compassion and have worked with the Arab Orchestra of Nazareth, have had a gig cancelled. How can we allow this? @oivavoimusic
