Imelda May Instagram - My darling friends Shane and Victoria
So happy to see you both today!!!
Lovely to hang out always.

Imelda May Instagram - 2025 only good moments!
I’ll spare you the bad ones 😅
Let’s keep this shit unrealistically Instagrammy winner happy. 🏆

Imelda May Instagram - I’m SO thrilled to finally announce the most recent documentary I’ve been working on
“Lily and Lolly: The Forgotten Yeats Sisters”
which will premiere on International Women’s Day,
Friday March 8 on Sky Arts and Now

If you love literature and crafts,
savvy business minded,
strong spirited but unassuming and dedicated women…
You are going to love this!!!

In 2017 I read about Susan and Elizabeth Yeats often known as Lily and Lolly.
Because they were the sisters of our literary genius
William Butler Yeats
world renowned painter,
Jack Butler Yeats
and daughters of celebrated artist
John Butler Yeats,
if known at all, they were most often only referred to as ‘the sisters of…’even though they were hugely talented people in their own right.

How had I not heard of them before?!?!
Their artistic contribution to Irish culture through exceptional textile craftwork,
to literature by starting up Cuala Press one of the first printing and publishing companies in Ireland and also
through business by running two successful companies,
whilst employing an all female workforce
(Illegal to do so within the printing industry,
almost unheard of in early 1900s)

I was delighted when my friend and wonderful producer Maggie Breathnach @redshoe_tv
(we worked together on our
award winning documentary ‘Voices Of Ireland’)
agreed we should collaborate and make a documentary about these two fantastic women.

Maggie is the best woman I could imagine to go on this quest with. She found the most informed experts to tell us everything they could about our Yeats Sisters.
We drove all over Ireland to find examples of their work with a mostly female crew.
We were thrilled when
@skytv, @skyireland and @tourismireland agreed to help us make this special piece of documented history for you.
Thank you to all involved Including
@mariadoylekennedy for your beautiful narration.
We hope you love this documentary
as much as we loved making it,
as you get to discover the amazing sisters
Susan and Elizabeth aka
Lily and Lolly Yeats

Imelda May Instagram - I’m so honoured to be recognised by Dublin Canvas in celebrating the living…! Thank you so much!

Steve O’Toole (@urnique.steve ) the artist who started this initiative explains…

“Ireland is very good at commemorating & remembering our dead but we do little to celebrate our living. There are blue plaques all over Dublin to remember and mark how ‘Oscar was born here, Behan drank there, Joyce etc. and only in death Sinead, Shane and many many more are justly & rightly celebrated but whom in life were never given the accreditation they so rightly deserved.

And so my Dublin Canvas submissions began last summer with ‘Pat Ingoldsby’s … Welcome To His Head … Complete with ‘Not Dead Yet’ Blue Plaque.

Continuing this year with ’Imelda May … Mother of all the liberties… With accompanying ‘Liberties Belle’ Blue Plaque.

* Mother of all the Liberties - A nod to the hierarchy & history of the women of the Liberties, and to Imelda’s current role in MOATB.
* Liberties Belle - Reflecting on both ‘The proudly born Liberties Imelda’ and to Imelda’s own wonderful piece ‘Liberty Belle’.

On seeing Imelda’s reposting of Celia’s ‘Highly Commended’ in the Arts & Entertainment category at the British Press Photographer of The Year Awards, and Imelda’s accompanying copy …
‘This photo of me from Cambridge Folk Festival last summer. Sinéad had just gone. I painted my top impulsively Put on my mother’s chain, my Jeff Beck pendant. Walked onstage with my band and sang with all my heart. Emotional night captured. Friendship forever’.
I knew instantly this was the only image to use.

I cannot emphasise the outpouring of Liberty love & fondness for both Imelda and her family that has not only been expressed to me but also in turn extended to me by association. I am really going to miss working on this much loved piece.”

Imelda May Instagram - I’m sad to hear of the passing of the great
Françoise Hardy…. an inspiration and a respected friend.
She was such a remarkable singer, songwriter,
performer and a highly intelligent, complex, clever, charismatic woman.
She moved the heart of the listener.
Her words full of truth, her melodies so sweet and her delivery delicate yet strong were only complemented
by her presence and beauty.
She was honest with her opinions and advice so her
praise or critique was true and therefore valued.
She was a part of my life story and for that I’m honoured.
I wish her much love on her biggest journey to the stars.
All my love to Thomas and Jacques.
Au Revoir Mon Amie La Rose 🥀

Imelda May Instagram - I was incredibly honoured to be invited
to perform a show in celebration
of the great Lady Augusta Gregory
in the @abbeytheatredublin last night.
Lady Gregory was such an important figure in Ireland
not least as a great poet and playwrite but also as an active researcher, collector. preserver and translator
of our old and rich oral traditions which
without her might well have been forever lost.
She was one of the founder members of
the Abbey Theatre itself and a leading figure
in the Irish revivalist movement.
I was delighted to meet with Lady Gregory’s family especially her great granddaughter Jane Murray-Brown
Thank you to all the incredible team at The Abbey,
my wonderful manager @meredithplant1
and of course my talented band
@richardjcardwell on piano and @guitardarling on guitar
who player such an important part
of a very special evening.
Thank you to all who came and trusted in me
to create this celebratory and beautiful night.
But mostly thank you to the late great Lady Gregory 💚

Imelda May - 25.2K Likes - Our dearest father Tony Clabby has passed away on this fine day, the 12th day of Christmas, Nollaig na mBán, Little Christmas, the Epihany, and the day of the Kings,
after three sacred days of gathering, holding, laughing, accepting, harmonising and loving he passed gently.
We are heartbroken but truly grateful.
More than anyone I’ve ever met, Dad was pure LOVE.
As he said himself only hours ago, he’s had a great time, it’s time to go easy, it’s time to go to Madge.
And true love lives forever.
❤️
Thanks to all the amazing absolute angels in #stjameshospitaldublin

Imelda May - 16.1K Likes - Thank you Shane. 💚
Thank you for opening your heart and sharing with us your glorious talents. We’ll never see the likes of again.
Your genius songwriting and poetry weaved of words and wisdom that made mortals feel seen, heard and moved from stoney stoicism to quiet tears.
In a world of perfection bullshit you were always real.
You always lived your truth.
Your defiance, passion, energy, self awareness, honesty, daring, anger, love was always inspiring.
Your divilment infectious.
That look in your eye right before you’d say something and then the laugh that set it up and us all off.
You loved your tribe and we love you.
You led us to hear our old songs
with a fresh and proud heart.
You gave us the strength of pride
we needed both at home
but especially to all Irish away from home
and living with the emotional
and cultural complexities of that.
As I told you only last week your magnetism
and immense spirit attracted us all like
moths to the brightest, hottest flame.
Your huge talents cracked
wide open our often jaded hearts.
More than anything though I loved the romance and realism in your every word.
You spoke of truest love with all its ups and downs.
Love that hits home when everyday
unimportance is stripped away.
Your belief in life and love
was truthful, imperfect
and so incredibly beautiful.
Your muse, protector and angel Victoria
always by your side until the very end.
Your connection a beacon in the dark.
Born on the birthday of Jesus and passing same date as Oscar Wilde and Patrick Kavanagh seems perfect.
Somehow it feels you’re free of the shackles of the physical world now
and you’ll fly to the divine
as a child runs to home.
May the road rise to meet you…
Thank you Shane.
Love always to our darling Victoria
and all your family, friends
and band family.

Imelda May - 11.1K Likes - @shanemacgowanofficial celebration of life!!!
We gathered, cried, laughed, reminisced, gave thanks,
held each other and danced.
It’s so hard to lose a giant amongst us
who has influenced and changed the world.
So hard and soon after Jeff, Christy, Sinead. All icons.
It’s a universal and personal mourning… and rightly so.
Shanes funeral was filled with love as he was.
The friendships are real, the support is solid.
His brilliance attracted incredible people on his journey from nurses, to cab drivers to artists.
He was an irresistible magnet to us all.
@glenhansard did an incredible job
herding us and pulling together
something fittingly extraordinary for Shane. For which I was humbled to sing with @declanorourke
When @thepoguesofficial @spiderstacy1 @glenhansard @thegingerman222 and @lisaoneillmusic and #johnsheehan @sharonshannonmusic @croninmusic @mundy_music played Fairytale of New York
I remembered how every time I sang that song with Shane he’d get divilment in his eye and spin me round and around until we nearly fell over
and so I just couldn’t stop myself
from leaping out of my seat and grabbing @camilleosullivanpics @liamomaonlai,
Shanes talented sister @siobhan.macgowan.1
and fabulous wife @victoriamaryclarke
(who jumped leather booted over the pews)
to dance and spin around our king
as he was in the midst of us for the last time.
It was a glorious ‘fuck it!’ moment for and with our
Irish punk, romantic realist, genius, innovator,
one of a kind @shanemacgowanofficial
I’m honoured to have known him,
I’m grateful to be a part of a great many people
who will remain constantly amazed by him.
The measure of our dreams…

Thank you to @victoriamaryclarke for being so extraordinary and inspiring.

Imelda May - 5.1K Likes - What an incredible experience to sing with @rteconcertorchestra, to be introduced by the loveliest man @martywhelanofficial and what an honour to be a part of such a beautiful night with @banatalquds The Daughters of Jerusalem who sing with such grace, talent, emotion, pride and stoicism.

Christmas is a time of great joy but then often great sadness as we reflect and miss those not with us to share those joys.

I must admit I found it hard singing this beautiful song as I thought of all the people suffering in Palestine but also of my own mother and father who I miss greatly.

But then I remember how much they both loved this time of year and all the gorgeous times we had together.
How proud they’d be and how much they loved this song ‘A Cradle In Bethlehem’ the first time I recorded it.

So, full of love, I sang my heart out.

I wish you all peace, love, warmth and finding huge joy in small and special moments.
