Irish Autumn Tour Dates 2025
Gemma has announced a series of live shows in Ireland as part of her tour. These dates come after her previously confirmed London residency in September, which is already sold out.
Tickets for her upcoming Irish shows area available from the listed venues above or from gemmahayes.com.
New Single + Video: Central Hotel
Watch the music video for 'Central Hotel' below.
Gemma Hayes has shared a new single 'Central Hotel'.
Lifted from the Tipperary singer-songwriter's 2024 album Blind Faith, 'Central Hotel' has been released alongside a new mix by Grammy-winning producer and composer Marius de Vries, whose credits include the soundtracks of Moulin Rouge and La La Land.
"With 'Central Hotel' I wanted to bring to life an encounter I had many moons ago," said Hayes. "Our lives intertwined for a moment in time. It’s all like a ghost to me now. When I play this song live I feel transported to that place again."
The Mercury Prize nominee's new single comes accompanied by a hypnotic music video directed by Alfred George Bailey.
"To complement the song’s dreamlike essence, we chose to shoot with Cooke SP3 lenses, which allowed us to craft a soft, cinematic aesthetic that perfectly mirrors the song’s wistful, nostalgic tone," said Bailey about the video. "Every frame was designed to feel intimate and timeless, just like the music itself."
The single was released on April 16th, 2025.

Review: Blind Faith
Blind Faith, the sixth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes, arrives a decade after the acclaimed Bones+Longing. The new release offers listerners a collection of songs that delve into themes of conflict, emotional intensity, and the search for resolution.
The album opens with “Eye for an Eye,” a minimalist track whose thoughtful lyrics paint a picture of a turbulent relationship marked by betrayal and emotional wounds, as both sides grapple with the pull between revenge and reconciliation. By the time the second track, "Central Hotel," unfolds, it captures listeners with its haunting imagery, including the standout lyric, "fading from sight, a ghost in the sky."
Another highlight, “Another Love,” features a heartfelt duet with long-time collaborator Paul Noonan (Bell X1, Houseplants). The folksy sound, enriched by delicate piano, makes it a standout track. “Feed The Flames” the second single release from the album, was inspired by moments shared between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on-screen in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.”
Meanwhile, the hard-hitting "Hardwired" harks back to Hayes’ rocker roots, reminiscent of her debut album Night on My Side, as she reflects on the polarizing nature of modern society. The track manages to address the times without alienating listeners.
"High & Low," though an initially surprising choice for the album’s lead single, reveals itself as a powerful track on closer listen. Its deeply resonant lyrics speak to those navigating personal loss and uncertainty.
"The Break Didn’t Heal Right," a song that many will have on heavy rotation, captures an impulsive moment of emotional depth. In this song the speaker emphasizes their readiness to embrace intense feelings, even at the risk of being overwhelmed.
The ethereal “Can’t Kill a Hunger” features the vocals of Ann Scott, Hayes' “right hand woman”, and includes touches of traditional Irish music, adding a unique texture to the album.
In recent interviews, Hayes shared that the closing track, "Return of the Daughters," was inspired by a dream about Afghan women and girls, reflecting on the tragic events of 2021 in Afghanistan. These events highlighted the failure of both Western powers and Afghan society to safeguard women and girls, further entrenching patriarchal oppression.
With "Blind Faith," Gemma Hayes showcases her knack for writing deeply personal lyrics that offer glimpses into her life and her observations of others. At the same time, she maintains an intriguing air of mystery that encourages listeners to draw their own interpretations, and as always, it works beautifully.
Here’s to hoping it won’t take another 10 years for the next release! :)
Blind Faith is available from September 27th through Gemma Hayes Music and Townsend.
‘Another Love’ is the fourth single from Gemma Hayes’ sixth studio album, Blind Faith. Featuring Paul Noonan (Bell X1, HousePlants), the track will be released on August 14th, in advance of the album's release on September 27th."

Interview: Gemma Hayes interviewed by Irish Independent
Visiting London in the early Noughties. Gemma Hayes is playing her first proper UK headliner at East End venue The Spitz. Industry figures and A&R men have flocked to get a first look at the much-touted Irish singer-songwriter and she is feeling the nerves more than usual. Hayes leaves the stage following what she believes to be a “terrible gig” in which she was unable to disguise her anxiety. Fleeing to a tiny pizzeria across the road, she contemplates packing it all in for a less stressful career, only to get a tap on the shoulder. “I looked up and it was Chris Martin,” Hayes recalls, “and he says: ‘I just came from your show and you sang a song called I Ran for Miles. That’s a really good song. I run and I know what you mean about running as fast and as far as you can to see what you’re made of, just to push yourself further than you think you can go. Anyway, I want to wish you the best, I thought it was great.’” As guardian angels go, the Coldplay frontman was the right one at the right time, and Hayes is still visibly warmed by the memory of this “lovely moment”.
