Imelda May announces Irish tour

Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda May has become one of Ireland’s most celebrated female artists as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer, poet, presenter and storyteller. Imelda’s breakthrough album 'Love Tattoo' (2008) remains the best-selling album of all time by a homegrown female artist in Ireland, whilst her most recent album '11 Past the Hour' (2021) marks her 4th No. 1 album in Ireland and 4th Top 10 in the UK. Her debut poetry book 'A Lick & A Promise' (2022) is already on its third re-print, with the Irish government using one of her poems on billboards across the country for their “ReThink Ireland” campaign as well as included in the school curriculum.

A dynamic live performer with her unique blend of rockabilly, jazz, rock and blues she has toured across the world and performed with legends such as Jeff Beck, Lou Reed, Bono, Noel Gallagher, Jeff Goldblum & Ronnie Wood. This year Imelda was special guest for Sting on his outdoor UK shows, The Corrs on two homecoming shows in Dublin & Cork, and is about to join Jools Holland on his 30 show UK autumn tour.

Imelda returned to her critically acclaimed portrayal of Kathleen Behan this summer, in the one woman show ‘Mother of All The Behans’ by director Peter Sheridan. Her first foray into theatre, Imelda returned to the role for a third summer extending to a week’s run in Belfast & Waterford in addition to a sell-out return to Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre & Cork’s Everyman Theatre.

Imelda’s recent turn to the silver screen also saw her latest film role as Pierce Brosnan’s wife ‘Betty’ in Niall William’s Four Letters of Love.

A true creative, Imelda immerses herself in art across many forms, and these special Irish evenings will showcase her unique ability to evoke the purest of emotion using her voice as her sole instrument.
