"Leatherwing Bat" by Cormorant's Fancy

"Cormorant's Fancy is a gifted band with a knack for gorgeous arrangements." - Tom Knapp, Rambles.NET, 17 March 2006

Cormorant's Fancy performs Irish, Scottish and other Celtic and British Isles traditional and contemporary folk music. Featuring their own arrangements with fine harmonies and multifaceted instrumentals blending concertina, penny whistles, low whistles, guitar, bass, keyboards and bodhran, Cormorant's Fancy has quickly established themselves as one of the finest Celtic bands in central Pennsylvania. Venues have characterized Cormorant's Fancy as "the area's most energetic and spellbinding Irish folk band." Their name is based on the original Gaelic meaning of Dan Diviney's surname.

Cormorant's Fancy was founded in September, 2003. Their first CD, "An Evening at the Fairfield Inn" was recorded between February and November 2005. It includes hard-driving songs, tender ballads, lively jigs and reels, and haunting slow airs, from the Celtic traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and North America.

Oriskany Stringed Instruments, Huntingdon, PA, builds all guitars played by Cormorant's Fancy, as well as the bouzouki. Don't miss seeing luthiers Curtis Rockwell's and Johanna Mutti's gorgeous instruments at www.oriskanyguitars.com. Curtis plays and sings with the band when available.
