Mayesh zbroyu i kvity, idy i zuvmiy, svit dovkolo vidkryty....

So the pre-fest party is over, but the festival has just begun. Mad Heads XL have made their mark on Toronto and it is one that will last a very long time.  I don't think I've had this much fun at a concert by a Toronto Ukrainian Festival headliner since Taras Chubaj was here a decade or so ago. Another thing that really is impressive about this group is that they have some pretty up-lifting lyrics to many of their songs. These guys love life and respect it and it shows. Well, enough of the blather, here are some pictures. And really, go see them on Saturday at the main stage at the festival.

Vadym belts one out.

Trumpets, trombones, oh my.
Lots of people came out tonight, I'd say at least 200, maybe more.

Vadym reaches out to folks on the dance floor.
And of course there were tons of UCU representatives at the event as well.

We'll leave you for now with another photo of Mad Heads XL. More will come tomorrow from the Niagara tour and then from Saturday's concert. Stay tuned.
