iMMa is an orgy of diverse hard rock delivered with tremendous self belief, and zeal. The world might have a looming energy crisis at present, but there is no shortage here. There is enough to light up a small city. iMMa, originally was a band, a partnership between Erika Footman and Jonas Jalhay. After the 5 year partnership came to an end - Erika decided to carry iMMa as a solo project so after a few auditions - she came across Neil on drums and Rich on guitar and of course Giacomo her last bass player stayed with her. Other artists that may be working with her in future gigs are Doug Harper (previous drummer), Chris Nugent (drums), Rene Woollard (guitar). Each band member works their own zone prodigiously, communicating only through their music. Despite iMMa’s (vocals) pre-gig nerves the stage is her own. Fear evaporates: she taunts, she flaunts, she rocks, but more importantly, she delivers. Huge vocal range, huge talent. Great to watch. Behind her is her band - Their first gig in this new set up in April. These are early days for iMMa, but you really get the sense that something has arrived on the hard rock scene that hasn’t been around for a while.
