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. In Ireland, her debut album Love Tattoo, whe she recorded and released on her own label, has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared the stage with such greats as Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, David Gilmour, Lionel Richie, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Wanda Jackson and Meatloaf. And now with the release of her new album, Mayhem, she is about to go stellar. 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 movie) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair.
