Imelda May
Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda May has become one of Irelandâs most celebrated female artists in history. Her 2008 self-written & produced album âLove Tattooâ is the best-selling album of all time by a home grown female artist in Ireland and her most recent album ’11 Past the Hour’ marks her fourth Number 1 album in Ireland and fourth Top 10 in the UK. Imeldaâs recent albums are a departure from her early rockabilly revival style with a sound that sits firmly outside of any sharply defined genre box, widely spanning blues, rock, soul, gospel and jazz,
2022 saw her first major film role opposite James Purefoy in Fisherman Friends 2 scoring a Top 3 UK box office, and present the SKY Arts literary travelogue series âThe Voices of Irelandâ which won the âBest Specialist Factualâ at the 2022 RTS Ireland Television Awards.
