Throughout 2023 Gemma Hayes played 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.

Gemma is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album, inspired by moving to West Cork with her young family, and a new perspective on life. The first track ‘High & Low’ was released at the end of June as a teaser for the new campaign, and received an overwhelming response.

The second track, ‘Hey Man (Feed The Flames)’ is currently scheduled for release at the beginning of next year, followed by a much-anticipated album release and full band tour of the UK and Ireland.
