What the audience says: Otava Yo!

Just seen the band at the RNCM in Manchester. Absolutely fantastic, already contender for best gig of the year! Thank you for playing for us!

Had a most agreeable time in Manchester last night at the RNCM catching up with the fabulous Russian folk-regenerators Otavo Yo. A wonderful evening, not a face left unsmiling. They're a simmering samovar full of great tunes. Excellent musicians, singers and, yes, entertainers. All delivered with superb musicianship, dry wit, engaging explanations, ensemble singing and dancing and lots of love. Don't miss 'em!

Best gig in a long long time!@mac_birmingham #OtavaYo! Outstanding! #music #Birmingham #stpetersburg 

Thank you for an unforgettable evening of wit, humour and wonderful joyous music at Bury St Edmunds. You came, you played, you conquered! Please come back to UK soon.

Just to say a very BIG THANK YOU to the most beautiful and talented folk musicians for an amazing performance in Bury St Edmunds.

So glad I took a chance on #OtavaYo @mac_birmingham. Just the thing to brighten up a rainy mid-week evening.

That was fantastic. Amazing music and the most infectious energy. Come back to Sheffield soon. 

Totally hooked from the start, superb gig, great musicianship.

One of the best concerts I've ever been to, even that I didn't understand much. Otava Yo ladies and gentleman! спасибо Oтава ё!

Fantastic Gig here in Sheffield last night @ the University.
* Great venue * Magic music * Superb atmosphere * Wonderful time was had by all
Very nice to see so many people dancing. Thanks Otava Yo - come back soon.
  


Vibrant #OtavaYo @sage_gateshead @makingtracks_uk delicious harmonies, verve, wit & huge warmth... Splendid gig!

Saw 'em in Bristol on Tuesday. They were all the things you say, and I was struck by the thought that they'd storm any UK folk festival, especially the bigger ones.

Amazing Show last night at the Studio Theatre Dome. If you get the chance to see it you won't be disappointed.

Great show at Brighton Dome Studio Theatre last night. Thanks guys. Good wishes for the rest of the tour.

So glad I went - they're fabulous! Went down a storm in a nearly full studio theatre.

Thank you #OtavaYo for your clever, funny and beautiful Russian beat folk! Loved it @CambJunction

You are so good, glad you came to Sheffield.

Standing ovation tonight for great (and very funny) Russian folk band Otava Yo at @sage_gateshead @makingtracks_uk

I very much enjoyed this!

Absolutely [enjoyed this gig]! Indeed, all three gigs in this series have been excellent.

This was tradition brought kicking (literally) & screaming into the 21st century. (...) On a frosty night they delivered a witty and lively show – and whatever is the Russian equivalent of good craic. (Bristol Post)

They were brilliant. Such energy.

Really enjoyed #OtavaYo at Sheffield tonight. Fantastic! 

Brilliant evening @ShefUniConcerts with @OtavaYO. Pity it had to end! #otavayo #russian #russianfolkdisco

Fantastic, energising and beautiful gig by #otavayo @sage_gateshead. Highly recommended.

It was a great concert last night. Thanks for making the world feel like a better place for a couple of hours! 

Thank you for amazing gig at Bristol yesterday! It was a 'balm' for the soul..hope I see you again sometime.

 Loving St Petersburg's #OtavaYo @StablesMK Vibrant and uplifting!

The excellently mental and hugely entertaining Russian troubadours Otava Yo at #sagegateshead last night - see them if you can and thank me later.

Otava Yo at the Cambridge Junction 2. Traditional Russian songs performed in a really interesting way and a great atmosphere. If you can catch them on tour, definitely do it! I found a flyer for this gig in a chip shop in Bury St Edmunds, and knew I couldn't miss it :)

A great evening of Russian Folk Disco with Otava Yo

Not to be missed, for sure. 

They were superb.

Fantastic evening with very special and talented band from St. Petersburg. We wish you all the best with all your further projects and may see you again in near future.

It was so brilliant! Thank you. 

Great gig, guys. Very happy for you. Hope to see you again!

Once again, thank you for very special evening among very good people and fantastic Russian folk songs. We will remember Otava yo here in Manchester.

Just seen you play in Sheffield - Great gig. Hope the rest of the tour goes well.

Thank you for the most fun and enjoyable night! I hope you will return soon.

Went to see Russian folk ensemble Otava yo (Отава ё) yesterday evening and they were fantastic! They bring traditional Russian folk music to their audiences with a 21st century twist. I don't speak Russian, but thoroughly enjoyed the concert, the atmosphere and the music! [...] Did not know what to expect when I arrived, but I left a fan. Here is one of their music videos. Honestly, check them out:)

The Milton Keynes show was brilliant! Really good fun! 

A fantastic night lighting Otava Yo @sage_gateshead @makingtracks_uk
