Imelda May

Dublin's Finest Rockin' Diva!!

About Me

Dublin-born Imelda May is fast becoming regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the finest vocalists currently emerging out of the UK roots music scene. She's a rockin' little minx; tough, sassy, sexy, classy. A big voice on a fine tiny frame.

She has performed for royal families, huge festivals for all types of music, pubs and clubs, national radio stations, and has performed all over the world. Imelda has carved out an extensive repertoire of cool covers and amazing self-penned songs. For a young woman she has all the musical experience of a veteran Rockabilly warrior.
She has made fans from a diverse a cross section of people as the late Kirsty McCall to Micheal Parkinson (who has played her on his BBC radio two show on several occasions). Imelda has shared the stage with Alison Moyet, Dionne Warwick, Bryan Ferry, Anastasia, The Supremes, Sister Sledge, Scissor Sisters, Matt Bianco, Elvis Costello, and Elton John.
Imelda is currently working on a new CD of original material with her talented new band of renowned musicians; Dean Beresford on Drums, Al Gare on Bass, and Danny McCormack on Piano, Darrel Higham on guitar, and Dave Priseman on trumpet. This total Bop-a-Billy blend of tradtastic Hepcats and kitten will be showcasing their new material at a major venue later this year.
Hold on whilst Imelda May is rockin'. It's quite a ride!
CDs currently available:NO TURNING BACK – Imelda’s first solo release on Foot Tapping Records SWING STREET – Blue Harlem TALK TO ME – Blue Harlem’s most recent release, currently available at all major record stores through Proper Music Distribution Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com
