March 2006 - "It's a personal treat for me to have witnessed the evolution of fellow musicians getting together at sessions to form one of the best sounding and tightly honed Celtic bands in the south-central Pennsylvania area known today as Cormorant's Fancy. Without doubt it is always a pleasure to welcome them back to the McLain Celtic Festival in Carlisle. All fine musicians and just down right nice people, whose music and stage presence keep the audience coming back for more!"
Rodney Owens, Founding Member & Entertainment Chairman, McLain Celtic Festival, Carlisle, Pennsylvania

November 2005 - What a beautiful concert you presented at the Music Gettysburg series. The musicianship of Cormorant's Fancy was absolutely outstanding. Whether you were doing a tender vocal or hard driving instrumental, the music was first rate. Plus it was filled with emotion and spirit, far beyond technical proficiency. This became obvious with the audience appreciation.... simply stated; the audience loved it. Great Concert, Great Music, Great Evening. You filled our cups. Thanks, Tom Jolin

(Note: Tom is a well known and respected local musician. He has performed for former Vice President Gore and for Garrison Keillor.)

September 2005 - Comments sent by another great Irish band in September 2005 - "Bill and I really enjoyed your band. Bill’s a trained professional live sound and recording engineer as well as a published choral music composer/arranger, and he was impressed with both your sound and the arranged nature of your music as opposed to the “jam session” feel that marks several other Celtic folk bands."

August 2005 - One venue recently referred Cormorant's Fancy as "The area's most energetic and spellbinding Irish Folk Band"

April 2005 - The ladies of (the once glorious) St. Joseph College, Emmitsburg, MD, class of 1965, were greatly appreciative of your super music during our class dinner. Since I have only been known to raise my voice in song once among my classmates (Four Green Fields), the ghosts of my Sligo/Leitrim ancestors... singers all... smile on your efforts.

March 2005 - You were just wonderful at the Wedding and afterward at the Fairfield Inn! The music was so special. Although we are five or six hours away, a group from my church is coming to visit friends later this Spring - and we will be coming on a Friday night to have dinner and hear you play! That was a highlight for me this past weekend. Please let me know when your new cd is ready for purchase. Blessings, as you share your joyful sounds, Paul from New Paltz, New York

August 2004 - My husband and I really enjoyed your performance. I am really impressed with the wealth of talent that comprises your group. Each of you has been blessed by the Lord with so much talent. You truly bring much joy to those who hear your music. I have shared our experience of listening to your music and singing with friends. It is my hope that I can one day be able to hear you again. God Bless You for the Joy You Bring Others!
