Gemma Hayes Tickets

Over 2023, Gemma was busy touring, bringing her stirring live show to crowds that span generations. Gemma spent Autumn playing to audiences solo as well as with fellow living legends Lisa Hannigan and Paul Noonan. Gemma has been a cornerstone of the John Prine Celebration Shows at Dublin’s Vicar Street and she performed the legendary artist’s song ‘Summer’s End’ on RTÉ’s The Tommy Tiernan Show.

Gemma Hayes’ 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. Since then, she has released four critically acclaimed studio albums and a limited-edition live album. The Business Post recently praised Gemma as “a songwriter whose work pivots between serious life experiences and an indie folk/rock style influenced as much by Nick Drake as My Bloody Valentine.”

Gemma has contributed to the soundtrack of the upcoming 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. Her TV appearances include a performance as part of the renowned Fanning at Whelans on Virgin Media Two. Of late, she’s played for the TradFest: The Fingal Sessions hosted by Fiachna Ó Braonáin (Hothouse Flowers) for RTÉ / PBS / European Broadcasting Union. Her collaborative show for Other Voices filmed at Cahir Castle with Lisa Hannigan and Bell XI’s Paul Noonan was live streamed worldwide on 18 May and aired on RTÉ 2 in June 2023.
