Ireland's reigning queen of rockabilly Imelda May, has announced that she will perform at The Royal Theatre, Castlebar on Sunday 14 December 2014. Tickets priced €35/€39.50 go on sale next Monday 8th Sept @ 9am.
Since the release of her raucous debut Love Tattoo, back in 2009 (now 8x times platinum in Ireland), Imelda has been one of the most strikingly original talents in the music arena, taking her infectious blend of rockabilly, jazz, blues and torch songs from the back rooms of Dublin pubs to the biggest festivals in the world.
Next up was the 6x times platinum album Mayhem in 2010, which she took on the road, bringing some good old-fashioned rock'n'roll spirit to audiences worldwide. With her live shows widely acclaimed, she has picked up fans as diverse as Jools Holland, Jeff Beck and Bono who dueted with her at her sold out shows in The O2 Dublin 2011.
The truly unique Imelda May, is now back with a brand new album, entitled TRIBAL which was released recently on DECCA. Far from mellowing with motherhood, Imelda sizzles more than ever with her leather-clad attitude, returning with a brand new album of hard-edged anthems. Imelda is pinning her colours to the mast with music which celebrates the great rock'n'roll sub-culture and her own 'Tribal' allegiances.
I love her spirit! Ireland musicians have their charm. All the rockabilly songs are like drunk cabaret songs of our century with a hint of past but more in a regardless way. Does it make sense? Anyway, take on your mid 80's style dress/suit, make yourself a nice haircut and don't forget the good price Imelda May tickets that you bought here! Drink, dance, dance, dance!
