May oh May what gal: Imelda May

Is there any thing bad one can say about this lady? no. She deserves every last bit of success she gets.

Since releasing her debut album 'Love Tattoo' in 2008,  to say that things have taken off for Liberties lady Imelda May would be the understatement of the year.  Platinum sales, Sold out shows and performing to a crowd loving Electric Picnic and alongside Jeff Beck at the Grammys in the intervening two years, Imelda is now on the cusp of stardom. And rightly so.

With the routinely back stories of paying ones dues while slumming it in pubs and bars of all shapes and sizes, Imelda May has been described as a lounge singer with a difference, but here is a MEGA STAR in the making. 

Joined by a superbly brilliant, flawlessly talented band, of snappy basslines, roaring Guitar licks and smooth as a thump in the night drum lines, Imelda may is not so much a solo act - more a part of something that only happens in certain musical lifetimes. 

LEGEND.

Mixing 1950s rock and roll influences with country western vibes, Imelda and band echo the 50's and 60's atmosphere of dance till you drop and can't stop, and in times like this, its just what the doctor ordered.

That there is nothing truly original in this music is a fair enough equation, but with all the right ingredients, and looks to match, Imelda May will surely rise and rise, we all need a little 1950's- and who better to reintroduce it that Lady Cool herself. Word of advice, you have GOT TO SEE HER LIVE SHOW- the best gig I have seen all year, was at Electric Picnic. A very proud to be Irish Moment.  www.imeldamay.com
