“I’m really looking forward to performing at Towersey over August Bank Holiday – It’s a great family festival with its roots in folk, Celtic and alternative music, so I’ll feel right at home! Along with performing tracks from my new album and some old favourites, I’ll be taking my family and joining the Ceildh. The crowd at Towersey are always super friendly and it’s such a great way to bring people together and lose your inhibitions” Imelda May
