I started an Irish band in 2003 called Cormorant's Fancy which quickly expanded to include songs and tunes from Scotland and a few other Celtic nations. Cormorant's Fancy completed our first CD March 2006 and finished our second one July 2009. You can listen to some of our music on CDBaby or watch a video of us playing at the Adams County Irish Festival in 2007 on MySpace or YouTube, both of which you can link to from the band's website at www.cormorantsfancy.com.  We are also aired on a number of Podcasts and get some airtime on Irish radio stations Galway Bay FM Radio , Miwest Radio, and Clare FM Radio , as well as Radio Jade 87.8 in Germany and Shannon O'Neill's Memorial Celtic Music Hour on  Phoenix Internet Radio .  If you hear us on other radio stations, send us an email and tell us where and when.  

I play Copeland, Susato, Chieftain, and Silkstone whistles.  I currently play a Seamus O'Kane "Rack & Pinion tuning" bodhran which is the best Bodhran I've ever heard and an RWE bodhran.  I heard an O'Kane on a Teada CD; drove to Philadelphia to take a worshop with Tristan Rosenstock just to try his bodhran, got the "Aha, that's it" and placed my order. What a great bodhran Seamus made for me.  Seamus no longer makes the new style (rack& pinion), nor does anyone else as of this posting, so I have one of only a small number of his patented drums.  it was kicked off my drum stand by a band member, breaking a water goblet and slicing the skin and had a 2-inch hole blown through the center by another band member. Having repaired it myself, it still sounds great. Offer me $5,000 and I'll not sell it - that's how good Seamus's bodhrans are made.  You still can buy his traditional tuned bodhrans which sound equally as good as the new style.  I am learning guitar & digeridoo in the spare minutes I find here and there.   I've studied bodhran with Tristen Rosenstock (Teada), Rob Forkner (Metloef Drums), Colm Phelan (World Bodhran Champ), Jimmy Higgins (Altan), Stefan O'Brion, Siobhan O'Brien, Martin O'Neil (All-Scotland, All-Britain, and All-Ireland bodhran champion, Rolf Wagels, and Eamon Murray (Beoga).
 
The Old Favourite Set was played sitting in on a demo with Sharon Knowles on harp and me on whistle. The second tune is Donnybrooke Fair. Listen to Sharon's CD with the band Fynesound at http://cdbaby.com/cd/fynesound. Jamming at John's is a nice set with friends at John's house in August 2007 using my O'Kane rack & pinion bodhran. I played the whistle on Banish Misfortune with Joel Folkemer on the bodhrán. I was inspired to write 'Song for Janice' after observing the long, hard battle a close loved one, fought to regain independence following a major, debilitating medical emergency. It is my first attempt at songwriting & singing, and was recorded on a Sony IC-Recorder voice recorder.
