Imelda May has announced that she'll bring her Raised On Songs & Stories Tour back to the UK in the spring.
The Dublin singer-songwriter will call in Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, London, Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich and Ipswich between April 10 and 22. May took the tour to 10 intimate venues earlier this year, and the new run visits some towns and cities she missed the first time around.
Each night will feature stripped back performances of songs from her discography, alongside poetry and anecdotes. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (December 12). She said:
"It’ll be an evening of songs, poems, stories, joy and beauty. This idea evolved naturally over the last couple of years. You see, when I write, produce and release an album I get so excited to perform the songs live that I fizz up and plan and rehearse gigs with such enthusiasm that I’m like a little thrilled whirlwind but too often I leave room for little else. I work out which songs will flow best into another to create the vibe desired that I sometimes don’t leave much space for the unknown which is where a different magic lies. This space is the place where I exist most and write and create. So it feels right to stay there a while.
"To have a gig where someone might ask for a song I haven’t visited in a while and I think ‘yeah let’s give it a go’, or where I can tell you the stories behind the songs and how I ended up working with some of the people I’ve worked with so far. Not a ‘show’ this will be a shared night of what music, art, connection and creativity means to me, with you."
May also has shows scheduled in Brighton, York and Leeds over the next couple of weeks with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, followed by headline Irish dates in February and March. Tickets for those performances are on sale.
She released her latest studio album, '11 Past The Hour', in 2021.
