Imelda May
The singer and special guests bring us a celebration of her best-known songs, spanning blues, rock, soul, gospel and jazz to bring lovers of all music together.
Imelda May has become one of the UK and Ireland’s most celebrated female artists. Her self-written and produced album Love Tattoo remains the best-selling album of all time by a homegrown female artist in Ireland.
Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, May was discovered by Jools Holland, who asked her to support him on tour. She has gone on to perform alongside legendary artists including Lou Reed, Bono, Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello and many more.
