BBC NOW-Debussy & Shostakovich
7:30 PM
DUE TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE OLYMPIC TORCH OUTSIDE THE HALL PLEASE ALLOW EXTRA TIME WHEN TRAVELLING TO THIS CONCERT. The vibrant orchestral colours of Debussy’s Images conjure the heat, dancing crowds, and intoxicating fragrance of Spain, including the atmospheric sun-drenched Iberia. Shostakovich’s troubled and searingly urgent First Violin Concerto is one of his greatest works..

Book NowImelda began performing in clubs when she was 16 years old and had the honour of being occasionally barred from her own shows at Dublin's Bruxelles club for being underage. "I got really obsessed about going to those clubs even though I was way too young to be allowed in. The security guards would turn a blind eye because they knew I was just there for the music. I used to stand at the side of the stage, hoping to get asked up to join a jam session, writing the keys on my arm so I knew what to sing."
After fifteen years of singing in other peoples bands Imelda finally took the plunge and set up her own band in 2006. Acclaimed guitarist (and also Imelda's husband) Darrel Higham took the role of lead guitarist, although Imelda was unsure at the beginning if it was the best idea. "History doesn't bode well for married couples in bands - look at Ike and Tina Turner, Sonny and Cher, but we tried it and it worked out great. Life and the band is all one mish mash, but we do get time together as husband and wife and time apart - it just works." The band recorded their previous album, "Love Tattoo" independently and only expected to sell a few hundred copies at gigs, but one Jools Holland performance later and the album had sold triple platinum in Ireland.
The rise and rise of Imelda May has been unstoppable since the release of her album, "Mayhem" last year in the UK. Already hugely popular in Ireland (with a triple platinum album under her belt) the release of Mayhem in the UK has set her on the same path here.
