Imelda May: the sound of 2009. Having fallen in love with rockabilly and blues as a nine-year-old in Dublin, Imelda May has fused them together and given them a modern twist to create the most exciting and original sound you’ll hear this, or any year.
With her unique style, sexy look and raw energy, Imelda is taking the music scene by storm. Her latest album ‘Love Tattoo’ recently knocked ‘Bruce Springsteen off the number one spot in Ireland and she will be promoting it by touring the country with her talented band of renowned musicians ; Steve Rushton on Drums, Al Gare on Bass, 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.
LOVE TATTOO - Imelda's latest CD, which is currently available at all major high street record shops.

Word is out about your record company not allowing you to tour the U.S. with Brian Setzer. What is that all about? Who ever called that shot is the new Grinch. I was really excited to see and hear you in person here in Los Angeles Ca. I guess that will never happen. I still wish you the best!
