This is an album that in blending traditions emerges as something that previously didn’t exist in either country and deserves to be lauded in both - Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots

Auvo quartet @musicport 2007
We've just been confirmed to play at this years Whitby Musicport festival alongside Varrtina, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Susheela Raman amongst many others. The festival runs from the 19th to the 21'st of October and we'll be touring the UK extensively in the weeks before. Watch this space.
review from 'living Tradition'
"Think contemporary traditional Scandinavian bands like Varrtina or Swåp, add in a touch of the English & Irish folk traditions, and you'll have some idea of what to expect from The Auvo Quartet. Strongly recommended as a superb example of the very high standards being achieved by the contemporary folk musicians of England and Scandinavia"
