Blackpool Winter Gardens Opera House
Imelda May
Fri 27th Apr 2012
Show Time: 7pm
Imelda May, born in Dublin and raised in the Liberties, may be an unknown name to some, but to many she is already a superstar.
She is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues and rockabilly that wouldn’t be out of place in a David Lynch film) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair.
In Ireland her debut album ‘Love Tattoo’, which she recorded and released on her own label, has gone Triple Platinum.

She has shared a stage with Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, David Gilmour, Sharon Shannon, Jeff Beck, Shane Macgowan, Kirsty McCall, Van Morrison, Lionel Richie, Wanda Jackson, Paul Brady and Meatloaf.
Her new album ‘Mayhem’ sees Imelda continue to develop her uniquely modern fusion of classic musical genres.
The record not only showcases her exceptional songwriting ability, but also displays some more disparate influences, with first single Psycho seeing Imelda channel the spirit of early PJ Harvey, whilst the heartbreakingly poignant “Kentish Town Waltz” conjures an image of Chrissie Hynde at her most reflective.
