The long awaited new album from Cathy Davey is set for release 7^th May, The Nameless is Cathy's third album and the follow up to  the hugely successful Tales of Silversleeve which included hits like 'Sing for your Supper', and 'Reuben' ( a no 1 radio hit).  Tales of Silversleeve saw Cathy win a Choice Music Prize Nomination, and the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female. The Irish Times saying "There's no better female songwriter in Irish music right now". Silversleeve achieved her place in the Irish Times top ten Albums of the Decade; the only woman and the only Irish artist to feature there. Tales Of Silversleeve would go on to achieve double-platinum status, and accompanying it Cathy undertook an astonishing run of two and half years of sold-out shows. In 2008, at just the right time, the record industry underwent something of a crisis, and EMI dropped much of its roster. Cathy found herself suddenly granted the independence she had been seeking, and immediately began work on new material. Retreating to France for a month with a couple of suitcases packed with equipment, and knowing little French, she found herself recording in a setting that would come to influence the songs in unexpected ways. Having spent many nights in a quiet old house belonging to a quiet old widow, she came home with a handful of joyful songs about love, absence and death, and declared: "Silversleeve is grand. But I'll do better next time". She's been true to her word. The Nameless has more of Cathy's personality in it than any of her previous work, and the effect is astonishing. There's a darkness here that is more prominent than before, but it's coupled expertly with songs as fine as anything she's ever written.  Lead single 'Little Red' is the kind of song that will be adopted as a new national anthem, if there's any justice. A pop gem that grew out of long dark nights in that spooky old French house, it's got a soaring chorus coupled to a string section that swells and swoons. It's a fine indicator of the songwriting heights Cathy has reached.
