Jessie’s Tattoo Club is a new gig-theatre show from multi-award-winning theatre company Gagglebabble, centering on the iconic singer Maria as she returns after 7 years of silence with the surprise announcement of a new album: Jessie’s Tattoo Club.

Maria’s album is inspired by Britain’s first female tattoo artist, Jessie Knight. Jessie lived in Barry Island, and was a trailblazing woman who dared to tread an artistic path not open to her. Maverick, in many ways a rock star in her own right, Jessie was unable to have one thing she truly desired; a family of her own.
