Irish-born singer-songwriter Imelda May has been entertaining with her stunning vocals, musical talent and rockabilly blues-esque style since the delicate age of 16. After years of rocking stages with the likes of Jools Holland, Jeff Beck, Lou Reed, U2, Meatloaf (the list simply goes on…), 2017 will now see the launch of her fifth album Life Love Flesh Blood, produced with country blues producer T Bone Burnett, due out on 7th April.
