    As most "regulars" here know, I really enjoy Off Kilter and have been a fan since the beginning. Two interesting things I noticed about this video. First, Jamie NEVER wears his name tag onstage, this is the first time I have seen him with it on (none of the other members wear name tags onstage either). Second, that's not the original/usual drummer in the video. I'm surprised they did the take with a sub.

    Thanks for posting this Denise, fun stuff!

    You're welcome. Besides I was thinking of you when I posted this thread. I thought it was interesting when Jamie mentioned that he has inspired many teens to play the bagpipes and one was a Canadian National Champ. That's pretty impressive.

    It is impressive, but notice how he talks almost exclusively about himself and how he has influenced fans. Not a word about the other members of this most excellent talented band. Typical Jamie!

    It didn't even dawn on me about the nametag, Mar, but I did notice it wasn't the usual drummer

    I got engaged at WDW 1/24/10

    This one is from Deb Wills, Webmaster of allears.net. She gives credit to the other members, but for some odd reason there is no really good shot of Mark Weldon, the singer and bass player. It was he, along with Jamie Holton the bagpiper, who first got Off Kilter together. Still, all in all a good read imo, and there's a shot of Jamie pre Off Kilter in which he looks really super young:

    I'm embarrassed to say in 13 trips and of Irish/Canadian descent, I've never seen these guys. I'm going to make this a personal mission to see them this time.
