Gemma Hayes

Over the last year, Irish singer songwriter, Gemma has been busy touring, bringing her stirring live show to full houses across Ireland. In between her own band shows she’s been stepping out to wow audiences with some solo slots as well as playing a series of acoustic trio gigs with fellow Irish luminaries Lisa Hannigan and Paul Noonan.

In 2023 she played some of the new material to an enthusiastic reaction at a handful of small gigs in the UK - selling out London’s Omeara along the way.

Gemma’s debut album Night On My Side was released in 2002, for which she won Best Female Artist at the Hot Press Awards and a Mercury Prize nomination. It is considered one of the classic all-time top 20 Irish Albums by Hot Press Magazine Since then, she has released another four critically acclaimed studio albums and a limited-edition live album.

Gemma is also constantly in demand for film and tv placements – she has recently contributed to the soundtrack of the film adaptation of Roddy Doyle’s Greyhound of a Girl.  Her version of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’, recorded for the US TV series Pretty Little Liars, now has over 21 million streams on Spotify alone.
