Imelda May has announced UK shows for the spring.
The Dublin singer-songwriter will visit 10 intimate venues on her Raised On Songs And Stories Tour, which kicks off on April 7 in Aberdeen and wraps up on April 19 in Brighton. She'll also head to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Gateshead, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and London, where she'll play Cadogan Hall.
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 13). In a post on social media, May explained:
"I’m coming to you soon! 10 nights of UK Spring tour. 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 released her most recent studio album, '11 Past The Hour', in 2021.
