Born and raised in The Liberties area of Dublin, Imelda has become one of Ireland’s most celebrated female artists in history. Her 2008 self-written & produced album ‘Love Tattoo’ is the best-selling album of all time by a homegrown female artist in Ireland and her most recent album “11 Past the Hour” marks her fourth Number 1 album in Ireland and fourth Top 10 in the UK.
Imelda was discovered by Jools Holland, who asked her to support him on tour, she has gone onto perform alongside legendary artists including Lou Reed, U2, Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison & most recently appearing on albums and associated tour with Jeff Goldblum and Ronnie Wood.
As well as selling millions of records worldwide, Imelda is also a Women’s Rights Activist and Poet, who released her first poetry book ‘A Lick & A Promise’ on Faber Music last year, instantly debuting at No.8 in the Irish Times Bestsellers Chart (Hardback Non Fiction).

I felt a huge rush of emotion as I marched barefoot through a forest raising a burning torch and a blood red flag ready to fight for love!
The wind whipped up a frenzy,
the sun beams burst from a dramatic grey sky,
as I channelled my inner Mother Earth (she’s in us all)
while honouring Martha Graham’s transformative 19 powerful poses.
The things we do for love!
I truly believe we are all
Made To Love.

11 PAST THE HOUR IS OUT NOW!!!
At last!!!!
’11 Past the Hour’ is my truth.
I always write with meaning and from my heart as that’s the reason I write, to
connect with my own story at each particular moment and I
hope therefore I connect with others during theirs.
I’d like to think I can put into words and music what we all feel sometimes.
We all laugh, sing, love, cry, dance, kiss, care. We all experience lust, anger, joy,
worry, sorrow and hope.
Sometimes we stay silent and hold it all in and sometimes we dance and throw it
all to the wind with abandon, but one thing is for sure is we are in this life together.
Each song is a moment in my life. Each life is a moment in time. Every minute counts.

💎DIAMONDS💎
A little surprise before the album arrives on friday.
This one is called DIAMONDS…
Sometimes we’re so beguiled by stars
we overlook the magic in front of us,
aiming so high to catch a dream
when we already have the world.
Precious stones glisten amid rough rocks right beneath our feet
and once we’re willing to dig deep, astound us with a beauty that was quietly there all along.
#love #loveyourself #loveothers
This is Diamonds.
