In this episode of the IMRO Podcast, Tony Clayton-Lea meets singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes.

Over 20 years ago, Gemma Hayes carved out a path for herself with a series of critically acclaimed albums that marked her out as one of Ireland's best songwriters.  Now back in the fray after a lengthy hiatus Gemma talks to Tony about the benefits of taking time out, her early days as a performer, her songwriting process and her thoughts on the music industry.
