  Gemma Hayes seeks Twitter requests for song to cover for free Christmas download!

  Posted on 31st October 2009 in News

  Tonight Gemma Hayes posted an interesting update to her Twitter, that she plans to record a song this Thursday. She’s looking for requests from her Twitter followers on what song to cover – so if you’ve always wanted to hear Gemma play a certain song, then now’s your chance! The intention is to make the tune available as a free download over Christmas :)

  Hey – an idea.I’ll record a cover and release it as a free download for Christmas.Catch is u choose the song. Most popular request wins xx

  My choices would be Wham – Last Christmas, or Mew – She Came Home For Christmas

  Send your request via Twitter to @gemma_hayes … but you’ll have to be quick

  Update: ah… I didn’t spot that it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Christmas song :)

  Okay, happy for it to be, but it doesn’t have to be a Christmas song.I’ll be recording it on Thursday. So suggestions before then please xx
