She formed her own band in 2002, and released her debut studio album, No Turning Back.
After the release, May relocated to London with her then-husband, guitarist Darrel Higham.

My "Meet & Greet" With Imelda May  11/2/2009
-Every Picture Tells A Story


I had arranged to photograph Imelda May as part of a “Meet And Greet” at The Blue & Grill, based at Liverpool’s Albert Dock. Imelda kindly agreed to pose for me inside the bar,
after she was made aware of my charity awareness photography project for Blood Cancer Uk, through
“The Blue Bar & Grill” Liverpool.

At the end of the “Bar Shoot”, Imelda invited me to photograph her singing at a Gigg in the the basement/bar that belonged to the Blue Bar, also known as “The Live lounge”…..
I was aware of this event, but I was not able to go down such steep stairs in my wheelchair.
I thanked Imelda and explained my situation with regard to my disability (Multiple Sclerosis)
and how the live lounge would be in-practical for me,
the “Live Lounge” did not have seats,
I added that I could not afford a ticket.
Imelda replied that she would “sort all this for me” and not to worry …………


What followed was unbelievable…
I approached the steep steps pushed in my wheelchair,
security guards lifted me up in my wheelchair, carried me down the steps, into the live lounge!
My wheelchair was looked after in a safe place
and Imelda May had arranged for my to have a chair for me to sit on at the front of the stage
ensuring that I would get the best shots!!!!!!!!!!!
