Album Notes

Cady Finlayson's fiddle music has been called "uplifting", "spirited", and "soulful". From her first fiddle show in the U.S. Virgin Islands to her Carnegie Hall appearance for the NYPD Memorial Concert, Cady has brought her spirited Irish fiddling to 33 states and 3 countries.

Based in New York City, Cady fronts a 5-piece Irish Band (Cady Finlayson Band) which blends traditional Irish tunes with American folk and world music influences. She also works as a duo with French guitarist Vita Tanga.
and can be found playing for the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County.

Her other CDs on Cdbaby include the new "Irish Coffee" CD (2007) and her debut Cd, Shines like Silver.

Listen for tunes from Cady's Harp and Shamrock CD in Irish baseball film, "The Emerald Diamond".

Pure and Heartfelt Irish Celtic Folk music at its Finest
author: MonkeysWhoDream.com
"Harp and Shamrock" is Irish Celtic Folk music at its finest. Difficult to point out a particular one as there is an excellent selection of melodies marvelously executed, but the the title track is a must listen. I enjoyed the poem "A Madness to His Method", just felt the american accent was overwhelming it, but that is probably because my ears are european..

Only Disappointment Was It Ended - Awesome!
author: Celtic MP3s Music Magazine
After hearing Cady Finlayson's gorgeous fiddle-playing on the CD Take Two (with Sean McCabe) my expectations for Harp and Shamrock were high, and I was not disappointed. Cady's latest effort is terrific and I found my only disappointment was that the CD had to end! With a good mix of music, Cady's band is every bit as skilled as she is. You'll hear everything from hornpipe music to a waltz to a song called Going to Milwaukee which is a fun, easy listen. Don't miss the title track, Harp and Shamrock/Crock of Gold for a funky, unique musical arrangement that still somehow manages to have a traditional thread running through it. There is enough going on in this CD to keep things interesting without too much of a departure from the good stuff that people expect in a Celtic album. You'll hear the reels and jigs, but this is not background music. Save it for a day that you can listen to it uninterrupted so you can enjoy it fully. It is just that good.
