garpo on the Gemma Hayes msg board mentioned a new Gemma Hayes gig in Dublin. Via a Ticketmaster.ie link that dublin1996 posted it would seem she's playing on Wednesday 19th October:

MCD.IE PROUDLY PRESENTS
GEMMA HAYES
PLUS GUESTS
THE VILLAGE DUBLIN
DOORS OPEN 8PM
WED 19-OCT-05

Ticketmaster say that tickets will be going onsale to the public on Saturday 10th September and will be priced at 21 euros. On the same pages, Ticketmaster say she's playing at Whelans (rather than The Village) so it's a bit unclear at present.

Meanwhile Laura on the msg board posted the following details for those of you waiting (like myself!) impatiently for dates in England:

I've had a mail from Gemma today confirming that they've booked a tour for October for Ireland and England.The actual dates should be confirmed by early next week but IF anyone sees any dates advertised on websites or at venues in the mantime then please post them in this topic...

If you're based on the West Coast of America, then you've been spoiled for low-key/secret Gemma over the summer.... it looks like she's playing some more.... quietsucker posted on the msg board details of two more shows in Los Angeles:

30th August - Tangier's - www.foldsilverlake.com/framesschedule.html
1st September - Troubadour - www.troubadour.com

Finally for today's update we'd like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Gemma for last week, who turned 28 last Thursday
