Imelda May
For those unfamiliar with the name Imelda May, she is an Irish rocker with her own style, both musically and personally. Veering towards rockabilly and blues Imelda May has an unmistakable voice and is immediately recognisable by her jet black hair with a solitary curl and shock of blonde.
Her forthright style has earned her superstar status in her home country, where her debut album Love Tattoo has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared the stage with U2, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, Scissor Sisters, Lionel Ritchie and most recently with the first lady of rockabilly Wanda Jackson.
Imelda May will be releasing a brand new album in September, called Mayhem and preceding that is the single Psycho which is released on June 28th.
Psycho sees Imelda displaying some of her more disparate influences, as if PJ Harvey’s “Sheela Na Gig” had been recorded in the Ace cafe in North London in front of a load of rockers.
Fresh from supporting Jeff Beck on a 7 date tour in the US, May will be performing at this weekend’s Glastonbury, followed by spots at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Cornbury Music Festival, WOMAD and the Hop Farm Festival.
