Cathy Davey leads Choice betting

Cathy Davey’s Tales Of Silversleeve has been installed as the 5-2 favourite to win this year’s Choice Music Prize, which is worth a none too shabby €10,000 to the winner.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 16 Jan 2008

Before sticking your granny’s life savings on the Dubliner, we ought to remind you that last year’s winner was The Divine Comedy’s 40-1 rank outsider, Victory For The Comic Muse.

The rest of the runners and riders are:

Delorentos – In Love With Detail @ 11-4

Roisin Murphy – Overpowered @ 5-1

Adrian Crowley – Long Distance Swimmer @ 5-1

The Flaws – Achieving Vagueness @ 8-1

David Geraghty – Kill Your Darlings @ 10-1

Super Extra Bonus Party – Super Extra Bonus Party @ 12-1

Stanley Super 800 – Louder & Clearer @ 12-1

Kila – Gambler’s Ballet @ 20-1

Dry County – Unexpected Falls @ 25-1

Most of those acts are expected to be in attendance on February 27 when the cheque and a nice trophy for the mantelpiece are handed out in Vicar St., Dublin.

Tickets priced €27 are on sale now to the general public, but if you can’t make it, fear not, because all the action will be carried live by Today FM on Tom Dunne’s Pet Sounds.

Zen and the art of motor-psyche maintenance

When Cathy Davey's acclaimed third album The Nameless shot to the number one spot in the Irish mainstream and indie charts last month, it marked not just a triumphant return for an artist who'd been dropped by EMI after her critically lauded and commercially successful Tales Of Silversleeve, but a new dawn for independent Irish acts in general. But behind the writing of that album was enough guilt and grief to start a new religion. Here, in her most in-depth and revealing interview to date, Davey talks about how Zen helped her put mind and body back together after her grandmother's death, why daytime radio doesn't serve the people, organised religion is poisonous and modern medicine means we live too long. Oh, and why Crystal Swing just aren't funny. At all.
