[edit] Career
Cathy Davey released her first album, entitled Something Ilk, in 2004. It had mixed commercial success, though it did lead to a notable and diverse cult following.

This proved to be a very successful move as it led to a Choice Music Prize nomination for 2007 Irish Album of the Year. [1]
