I've been fortunate to have seen 7 Nations, Off Kilter some years back (2003 or4) and I'd wanted to see The chilli's since We first heard of them, Unfortunatly, I was Unable to early, I finally caught a "special" 9-11 show They did In Torrington Connecticut in 2014 which was a memorial that the Police and Fire unions were honored By The city ....which also asked the Connecticut Firefighters Pipes & Drums to open... I was more interested In Seeing The Chilli's then The Fire Band ( since i was a founding Member) I was walking down Main St and literally Ran into Gordan "Dougie McCance" who's the "newist" Piper in the band... and had a chance to talk a bit before going in He invited me back stage, but I was waitng for My driver to catch up...It was an awesome show, The Oldest Piper (age wise) Willie Armstrong is a still active Member Of the Fire service over there in Glascow...so he does "bring the fire briigade" into it somewhat... They recently did a charity Fund raiser using the Glasgow Fire Brigade Training Facility and Partnered with the Scottish Fire Rescue Brigade Pipe Band.... The days of Multiple bands has gone over there sadly even the military uses A Single "Highland Brigade Pipe Band" cost saving measures...
Thats cool. I haven't seen any of them except Off Kilter at Disney.
