Inspired by the ghosts of Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent, the twang of Elmore James, the pathos of Billie Holiday and the swagger of Wanda Jackson, Imelda May is a working-class Dublin girl whose self-belief and self-penned songs have taken her to international stardom.
After fifteen years singing in other peoples' bands, Imelda finally took the plunge and went solo in 2006 with raw, fiery rockabilly at the heart of her wide-ranging sound. Since then, the rise and rise of Imelda May has been unstoppable with sold out tours, guest spots with Jools Holland and Jeff Beck, platinum records in Ireland and a UK Number 1 album.
She will be gracing the stage at Perth Concert Hall as part of the fantastic Southern Fried Festival 2016 and we can't wait!
