Imelda May
Dublin-born Imelda is fast becoming regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the finest vocalists currently emerging on the UK Jazz and Blues scene.
This versatile singer songwriter began her career as a child performing in various musicals around Ireland. This led to TV work on the prestigious Late, Late Show, plus theatre work at The Olympia, The Gaiety, and The National Concert Hall.
Her popularity as a Jazz and Blues artist led to a lengthy residency at Satchmo’s, Dublin’s premier Jazz Restaurant, as well as touring the country performing at high profile venues and working with artists such as Ritchie Buckley, Mary Stokes, Sean Foy, International Blues Band, and Rolling Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood.
Since moving to London in 1999, Imelda has supported Kirsty MacColl at The Jazz Café, and R&B legends Nappy Brown and Big Jay McNeely at the UK’s top Swing and Jive Weekender, The Rhythm Riot. |
| Imelda has toured extensively with Mike Sanchez and spent five years as lead singer for top UK Swing/Jazz band Blue Harlem, with whom she sang at festivals worldwide and appeared frequently at London’s leading Jazz venues, including The 100 Club and Pizza on the Park. Imelda has performed at The Shepherds Bush Empire, The Cornbury Music Festival, The Tower Of London Music Festival, The Royal Festival Hall, Colne Blues Festival, Coventry Jazz Festival, The Tate Gallery, and shared the bill with Alison Moyet, Dionne Warwick, Bryan Ferry, Anastasia, The Supremes, Sister Sledge, Scissor Sisters, Matt Bianco, Elvis Costello, and Elton John. Imelda has also sung for Prince Albert of Monaco and HRH The Prince Of Wales.
Imelda has been featured on many radio shows including The Paul Jones Show on BBC Radio 2, on Sarah Ward & Campbell Burnap’s Smooth FM Jazz programmes, The Sandy Toksvig Show on LBC Radio with Blue Harlem, and she has been described by Michael Parkinson on his BBC Radio 2 show as “the best singer I’ve heard in a long time. I’m a great fan of hers… a very, very good singer indeed” (BBC Radio 2 June 2006).
Imelda is currently working on a new CD of original material with her talented new band of renowned musicians. Dean Beresford on Drums, Al Gare on Bass, and Danny McCormack on Piano. This new line-up will be showcasing their new material at a major venue later this year.
