Mad Heads XL completed a whirlwind tour of the Niagara peninsula today, visiting Rosewood Estates Winery, Skylon Tower, Niagara Falls and the Ukrainian Credit Union branch in St. Catharines. Staff and members at the St. Catharines branch welcomed the group to their city.
They were a pleasure to be with. Really a bunch of guys with a pretty positive outlook on life (which is amply reflected in their lyrics). Valeriy Chesnokov, who plays the trombone for the group, said that one of their goals as a band is to espouse optimism.
Branch manager Yuriy Nesvit (at far right in the photo) arranged for snacks to give the band energy for their sound check on the festival stage later that day in Toronto.
We had a nice "aww" moment when the young lady in the picture below got all the band members to autograph her sign.

The highlight of the day was the Maid of the Mist. A little bit wet maybe, but the Mad Heads enjoyed themselves.
