IMELDA May appeared on The Late Late Show last night to talk about singing, sexism and of course music.
The Liberties songstress appeared on the show with Ryan Tubridy to defend her decision to cancel a gig earlier this year and fly to the Mayweather-McGregor fight to sing the national anthem.

Imelda said she thought deeply on performing in Vegas as opposed to the gig she was scheduled to do, but told host Ryan Tubridy that she made the right choice in her books.
In the dawn of revelations about Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, Imelda also touched on the topic of sexual harassment and abuse that "most of her friends" have suffered.
She also spoke out about sexism she's been a victim of, not necessarily in music but rather in business.
Imelda recalled "I’ve had it in business though... People turn up and say ‘whose gig is it really?’. They turn around and say to the guys ‘it can’t be her’.
She said [I] "still get questions now, like ‘who writes your songs?’ which I find unbelievable. And if I do a co-write, someone might be like ‘oh, so someone helped you’. I say ‘no, it was an equal co-write’… I find it crazy."
The singer finished her appearance on a slightly lighter note, performing When It's My Time for the audience in studio.
