Oi Va Voi @ Cambridge Junction

Oi Va Voi returned to the Cambridge Junction, almost a year since their last gig, but this time touring with their latest, eponymous, album. Performing in the main stage this time, they brought out old crowd-pleasers “Yesterday’s Mistakes”, “Refugee” and “Od Yeshoma”. New favourite “Yuri” made an even bigger impact with the fans in its encore re-playing. As was the case at their last gig, the band had a new vocalist and violinist. Bridgette Amofah seemed like she’d been singing with the band from the beginning, and the new violinist provided yet more anecdotal evidence for my hypothesis that Oi Va Voi’s female violinists are rather photogenic (see photos of Haylie Ecker and Sophie Solomon for further evidence).
