Ballymaloe Grainstore welcomes the award-winning Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes for her first performance in the venue on Saturday 22 February at 8pm.
2020 saw Gemma and her family to relocate from London to West Cork. It was there that she reignited her passion for songwriting that provided the spark for what would become her sixth studio album, Blind Faith. “Songs began to murmur, distil and rise up in my mind,” she explains. “I would lock myself in the room, usually late at night when the world was asleep. I knew I needed to capture them before they left me.”
Blind Faith was released in September 2024 to great acclaim, with Mojo Magazine hailing it as “the album of her career”. The critics have been universally generous in their praise of Gemma’s new work which has delighted old fans and won new followers.
Gemma will be joined on the stage by Éna Brennan and Ross Turner. Ballymaloe Grainstore is on the grounds of Ballymaloe House in East Cork.
