I've never heard them play. I'm a big fan of Irish music, so I'd like to check these guys out.
Does anyone know if they'll be playing in January?
Also: that bass makes me jealous. It looks like the nice one my uncle has, and it's a five string. *jealousness*

They play Sunday through Thursday at Epcot in the Canadian pavilion.

Oooh, good pictures, especially of Jamie! Look at those blue eyes! I think he's so hot. I miss seeing them.

Those are wonderful photos, Debbie - especially getting Billy and Jason, too. And getting a photo of Scott...that's not easy to do!

Only (2) more days and we will be seeing OFF KILTER !!!!

Ron - are you back, yet? Looking forward to hearing about your trip!

I usually have an Off Kilter CD playing in my vehicle. Yesterday I took it out and played Dan Fogelberg ones instead, in his memory.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Hello NancyIL,

Yes we are back home. We returned late, late Sunday night after many flight delays ( at least we made it home in one day). We saw Off Kilter lots of times over the 10 days we were there. they were as great as always. All of the regular members were there on the days we saw them. I could not believe how warm it was. It was the warmest December since we started going down in 1996. We had a great time again. We sat through all of there shows one day last week ( I had to get a little refreshment from the UK pavillion in between ) We also enjoyed listing to the Voices of Liberty many times during our time there. They are fantastic too. We got to ride Spaceship Earth on our way out of the park on our last night. That was a great way to end our trip. We will be back in May for the Flower and Garden Festival.

 

[NancyIL]

Welcome back, Ron! I'm glad you enjoyed warm December temps in Florida, because I'm sure it was NOT very nice when you got back to Michigan!

I heard Voices of Liberty a lot when I was there in October during the F&W Festival, because I spent most of my time at Epcot. I didn't hear them once Thanksgiving weekend, except for their singing in the Candlelight Processional.

I'm looking forward to a few days at WDW in late January, so Off Kilter had better be playing on Thursday, Jan. 24th!

we saw them for the first time a couple weeks ago....they weren't too bad. I am a big fan of Canada's East Coast music scene, the Celtic/pop sound that Off Kilter emulates. Have any of the Off Kilter fans heard of Great Big Sea? They are a Newfoundland band that plays a similar style, mixing pop and celtic sounds to shanty songs. I think most would enjoy them.

 

[NancyIL]

Although "they weren't too bad" isn't exactly a rave, it seems you enjoyed them well enough!

I used to think Off Kilter, whose members are NOT Canadian, played in Canada because that was the section of Epcot that had room for their stage! I didn't know anything about Canada's Celtic heritage, especially in Nova Scotia, until 10 days ago when I started planning a trip to the Atlantic provinces. The annual Celtic Colours Festival on Cape Breton Island will be going on while we're in the area next October: http://www.celtic-colours.com/core.php

we have missed them every year, hitting Epcot on days they weren't performing, but noticed a crowd filling up as I grabbed a cold Moosehead. We caught their first 3 songs, before the kids pushed for more rides. The second song was an old shanty from Nova Scotia, which they did quite well. Atlantic Canada has some great bands of the same ilk; Great Big Sea, the Fables, the Rankins, and Skully.
If you like Off Kilter, download a few Great Big Sea songs, especially;Mari-mac, Old Black Rum, Lukey, The Chemical Worker's Song, when I'm up, Donkey Riding, The Night Pat Murphy died, I'm a Rover, and Scolding Wife. They have the same energy and sound. Or try Spirit of the West's "Home for a rest"

Thank you, Carol! By the way - do you have any plans to be at WDW in the next month or so? I'll be there Jan. 24-28.

No, I will spending most of January and Febuary at my client sites in North Carolina.

My only trip planned right now is next September! I know I won't make it that long, but.....

Merry Christmas Off Kilter Fans!

Thanks - you too.

Begged for Off Kilter CD's for Christmas -- I'm hoping.....!!!!!

 

[scheddj]

I ordered an Off Kilter CD as a Christmas present for my husband a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing since it hasn't arrived yet, Santa won't be leaving it under the tree in the morning! I'm kind of bummed.
