City of Derry Jazz & Big Band Festival

Festival Headliner
Monday 2 May
Imelda May
Millennium Forum 8pm £39.50
Born and raised in the The Liberties
area of Dublin, Imelda May has
become one of Ireland’s most
celebrated female artists. Following
an appearance on ‘Later...with Jools Holland’,
Imelda has since staged her own sold out
tours across the UK, Ireland, Europe, North
America and Australia, performing for royalty,
presidents and at major events around the
world. Imelda has collaborated with legendary
artists such as Lou Reed, Bono, Elvis Costello,
Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Robert Plant and
has performed on Hollywood actor Jeff
Goldblum’s debut jazz album.
Imelda’s latest album ‘Life Love Flesh Blood’,
produced by the legendary T-Bone Burnett,
was a departure from her rockabilly revival
style with a bold new sound that sits firmly
outside of any sharply defined genre box,
widely spanning blues, rock, soul, gospel
and jazz. The most personal and honest
album she’s ever written is filled with songs
of heartbreak, desire, loss, and liberation
and was the 5th best-selling female album
globally in 2017.
