It
was evident during the festival launch party on the Thursday
night at Lily on College St. ITH 2007 was going to be something
special.
The
Friday night launched
the ITH first ever U2 Songbook at The Gladstone Hotel, featuring
a number of very talented local musicians performing their
own renditions and covers of many U2 songs. The musicians weren't
the only artists of the night, the walls were creatively decorated
by numerous photos and artwork as part of the first U2 Fan
Photo Exhibit.
Saturday
night, ELEVATION [The International U2 Tribute Show] headlined
the festival, performing yet another great show proving Jeff
Healey's Roadhouse can get 'Out of Control'. Though it wasn't
all their doing. Montreal indie band, Acrobat, energized the
crowd early on. The evening ended auctioning off many of the
framed fan photos from the previous night and a salute to ITH
2007.
Between
all events, we reached our goal of $3000 for the African Well
Fund. Well done! See you in 2008. |
