Imelda May
Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda May has become one of the UK & Ireland’s most celebrated female artists. A true creative, Imelda immerses herself in art across many forms, as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, poet, illustrator and storyteller.
Her self-written & produced album “Love Tattoo” (2008) remains the best-selling album of all time by a homegrown female artist in Ireland and her most recent album “11 Past the Hour” (2021) marks her fourth Number 1 album in Ireland and fourth Top 10 in the UK.
Imelda’s recent albums are a departure from her early rockabilly revival style with a sound that sits firmly outside of any sharply defined genre box, widely spanning blues, rock, soul, gospel and jazz.
Imelda was discovered by Jools Holland, who asked her to support him on tour, and has gone on to perform alongside legendary artists including Lou Reed, Bono, Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, Jeff Goldblum & Ronnie Wood. She has performed all over the world in front of royalty & politicians including Barack Obama. From the 52nd Grammy Awards with Jeff Beck to singing the Irish national anthem in Las Vegas ahead of the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight in 2017 with a reported TV audience of 1 billion people across 200 countries.
In summer 2024, in addition to live shows with Jools Holland, Sharon Shannon and her own Royal Festival Hall show for London Jazz Festival, Imelda is delighted to be made her return to the stage performing in ‘Mother Of All The Behans’ at 3 Olympia Theatre, Dublin and Everyman Theatre in Cork. Based on the book by Brian Behan, adapted and directed by Peter Sheridan, Imelda is portraying the formidable Kathleen Behan and the show includes a soundtrack performed by herself. It returns to Ireland this summer in Dublin, Waterford, Cork and Belfast.
