TPOE 394: Gemma Hayes

Gemma Hayes celebrates 25 years in music with a special show as part of the NCH Landmarks series next Tuesday, May 12. She’ll be playing debut album Night on my Side in full, plus rarities and b-sides from that era. The record went on to be nominated for the Mercury Prize and took Gemma Hayes on tour around the world. Now based in West Cork, she returns to it with fresh perspective for what promises to be a reflective, intimate performance. On this episode of the TPOE podcast, Gemma talks about revisiting her 2002 album, some of the stories behind making it with Dave Fridmann in New York, record label wranglings, touring, Mercury Prize nominations, and lots more.
