An Evening With Imelda May – Raised On Songs And Stories: The Lock In 2027 IRISH TOUR

In keeping with Irish tradition, Raised On Songs & Stories: The Lock In will be a night of music, poetry and the kind of togetherness that stays with you long after the doors close.

Featuring stripped back versions of Imelda’s wide discography and some of her favourite songs, and integrated – as with every lock-in – in participation from the room and rich storytelling of her life and career.

Imelda May said, “I’m bringing my ‘Raised on Songs & Stories Tour’ back to you this spring thanks to your requests. It’s not the exact same show as before but it’ll have the same elements of being a loose, intimate, personal night of story and song but this time in a ‘Lock In’ environment (instead of previous sitting room) which is one of my favourite times in life when a wonderful night grows momentum and continues well into the morning. It’s when laughter becomes louder, stories are elaborated and songs become truer and the room either hushes or erupts depending on the vibe. 

I want to reclaim the misconception abroad that the Irish pub is a place of ‘drinking’ rather than an important part of our rich culture of sharing songs and stories, where generations both young and old gather and exchange traditional lyrics, melodies, anecdotes and share knowledge with wit, warmth and pure joy. Whether at a time of funerals, weddings, birthdays or any needed night it’s a place where we gather as a community to celebrate life. 

It’ll be a night of capturing golden moments together, following where it flows and warming our hearts with magic.  Can’t wait to see you all again.”
