She has released three albums, Something Ilk (2004), Tales of Silversleeve (2007), and The Nameless (2010) which garnered her a Choice Music Prize nomination, Meteor Award for Best Irish Female, and spawned a number of successful singles including "Reuben," "Little Red," and "Sing for Your Supper".
Cathy also appeared on the Elbow track "Grace Under Pressure" and the Autamata tracks "Cloud Seekers" and "Jellyman". She also supported R.E.M. on one night during their sold-out Live Rehearsal shows at the Olympia in Dublin in the summer 2007.
