She will be in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar on May 25 for what promises to be a great show.

There is a definite pattern to Gemma Hayes’ career. She releases an album, it may win an award, there is huge expectation, then she goes ‘missing in action’, before returning from the wilderness two or three years later.

Gemma Hayes has just been announced as the support act for Ray Lamontagne who plays the Royal Theatre Castlebar on Sunday September 6. Gemma is enjoying the success of an artist that comes from years of hard work and love of music, and this showed this January when Hayes was nominated for Best Irish Female at the 2009 Meteor Irelands Music Awards. Hayes' third album The Hollow of Morning was released in May of last year in Ireland, and debuted at number 12 in the Irish Albums Chart, and earlier this year she performed at the Oscar Wilde party in Los Angeles, California. The annual event takes place days before the Oscars, and celebrates the best of Irish popular culture.
