King Johns Castle Imelda May performance in Limerick will be Dolan’s second ‘Live at King John’s Castle’ concert.

Imelda began her professional career in 2003 forming her band and releasing No Turning Back specialising in Rockabilly music. Since then she has rose to fame in Ireland and abroad. May has been compared to female jazz musicians such as Billie Holiday for her musical style of rockabilly revival . The talented musician won Best Female Artist of the Year at the 2009 Meteor Awards.
