One of the hottest properties on the music scene at the moment, Imelda May makes a trip west for a show in the Black Box theatre tonight, Wednesday 28 October at 8pm. Dublin-born Imelda May has the rare kind of raw talent and timeless glamour that truly illuminates the stage. You don't just watch Imelda perform, you experience it.

Whether it's her infectiously unique fusion of rockabilly, blues and jazz, her extensive self-penned repertoire, her sassy burlesque-inspired performances or her distinctive interpretation of classic standards, her appeal is both seductive and undeniable.

This year has been a stellar year for May in which her album ‘Love Tattoo’ went Platinum and climbed to the top of the Irish charts. She had regular radio play for many of her tracks, won the best Female Award at this year’s Meteor Awards and has gone on from her Irish success to build a big reputation in the UK.

Winning friends and fans from a diverse cross section of people, from the late Kirsty MacColl to Jools Holland, Imelda May has shared the stage with an impressive array of musical talent - Alison Moyet, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Bryan Ferry, Anastasia, The Supremes, Sister Sledge, Scissor Sisters, Matt Bianco, Elvis Costello and Elton John, to name but a few.

Inspired by such Jazz greats as Billy Holiday, Dinah Washington, and the undisputed queen of rockabilly, Wanda Jackson, Imelda is forging a contemporary sound all of her own. With a nod to the glory days of old but with her heart and soul very much in the present, this rockin' little minx belts them out with all the musical force of a veteran rockabilly wildcat!

Doors 8pm and tickets are available for booking at the Town Hall Theatre box office on 091-569777 or at www.tht.ie.
