SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT - SOLD OUT

Jools Holland is excitable by nature, but when he spots a new artist who has what he considers "it," his enthusiasm goes off the scale.

To go by his reaction to Imelda May, she has "it" in spades. National TV exposure, a clutch of musician fans – not bad for an Irish newbie.

Having fallen in love with rockabilly and the blues as a nine year old in Dublin she’s turned them into a cool, swinging fusion that’s both classic and oddly modern.

Though her musical heart lies in early rock'n'roll (she's partial to the clothes, too), she puts a 21st century spin on things.
