Including Bournemouth Pavillion
Ireland’s reigning musical queen, the truly unique Imelda May, is set to return to the UK this winter for a comprehensive nationwide tour. The tour follows the release of Imelda Mayís latest studio album ëTribalí, which rocketed to Number 3 in the UK Album Charts and Number 1 in Ireland. Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday 30th May @ 10am via gigsandtours.com // 0844 811 0051.
Far from mellowing with her recent motherhood, Imelda sizzles more than ever with her leather-clad attitude. Tribal is as primal a rock ‘n’ roll record as you could ever find, infused with the spirit of Sun Studios, where the sound was born in Memphis, Tennessee – but given a 21st century twist by a girl from the back streets of Dublin.
“There are no lullabies on this album,” laughs the lady who’s brought Rockabilly back into fashion sixty years after it was kicked into life by young men like Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Make sure to check out Imelda and her band on Later with Jools Holland this evening and again on Friday night performing 3 songs including the new album title track “Tribal” and incendiary new single “Wild Woman”.
