event details

Following her breakthrough 2008 appearance on Later With Jools Holland, Irish singer Imelda May has shot through the rankings to become one of today’s hottest musical properties. As with the vintage rockabilly and jazz influences that underpin her songs, she’s paid her dues the old-fashioned way having started out in Dublin clubs. A superbly compelling performer armed with a big, sultry, bluesy voice, she marries the classic and the contemporary in unforgettable style.

You have to love a band that calls its debut album The Bastard Masterpiece – The Deadly Gentlemen features four of contemporary Americana’s boldest young brainiacs – Greg Liszt (Bruce Springsteen, Crooked Still) on banjo and vocals, Josh Pinkham on mandolin, Michael Barnett on fiddle and Sam Grisman (David Grisman Bluegrass Experience) on double bass.
