Imelda May
February 2, 2010
Breaking entertainment news: Imelda May and guitar legend Jeff Beck honored and gave a tribute to Les Paul last night on the 52nd annual Pink Grammy awards. She had a sultry voice, a poured-into-it gold Lurex dress and an impressive wiggle.
Imelda May became only the second live Irish act after U2 to play at the Grammies last night when she blew away the audience and the estimated 120 million watching with her rockabilly performance. Not for nothing is she known as the “Irish Amy Winehouse”. May has struggled through 12 years of tough times before last night’s crowning moment. During that period the blues singer has been unemployed and almost forgotten but she has always come back. Last night was an extraordinary justification.
She and her husband, Darrell Higham, built their own studio in London to record her album ‘Love Tattoo’ after every record label in the world had turned her down.
Imelda May sold her own sold-out shows in smaller venues. The record eventually came to the attention of rockabilly expert Jools Holland who booked her on his BBC show’ Later’. Read our other breaking entertainment news here.
