Over the last couple of years Gemma Hayes has been playing small venues, road testing some new material and reconnecting with her fanbase. She has also been busy with her occasional side project – the Gemma Hayes/ Lisa Hannigan / Paul Noonan Trio – wowing audiences with some very special performances around Ireland.
Gemma is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album, ‘BLIND FAITH’, inspired by moving to West Cork with her young family, and a new perspective on life, due for release in September 2024.
Gemma is currently touring Ireland and the UK with her full band while also fitting in some stripped back two-piece acoustic shows in smaller venues.
