Gemma has been covering the Kevin Drew (of Broken Social Scene fame) song ‘TBTF’ on her tour around the UK last week. Here’s a YouTube video below of her playing it at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford (on Wednesday 10th September 2008). As the video poster ’seajohnster’ notes Gemma wrongly introduces the tune as ‘Farewell To The Pressure Kids’ (which is on the same Spirit If… album):

You can buy the Kevin Drew album Spirit If… featuring TBTF from HMV

Broken Social Scene are pretty much my favourite band, so I’d love to see Gemma Hayes collaborate with Kevin Drew one day :)

The official site has confirmed that Gemma wont be playing at Lisdoonvarna (despite her name being used in all promotion for the festival!)

Meanwhile, david360 posted on the official msg board that: "The debut Magnet single will be “Lay Lady Lay” (with Gemma Hayes) released this Autumn, it’s been remixed by Steve Fitzmaurice & Dave McCracken and will be backed with exclusive new tracks & mixes". Magnet’s debut album ‘On Your Side’ which includes Lay Lady Lady was released on July 7th. See the official Magnet website for more info

Confusion continues over whether Gemma is playing at the Lisdoonvarna Festival. Laura on the forum posted that: "It’s a definite no show for Gemma according to the management. Apparently her name had been included in an Irish newspaper but they say she’s not playing". However, the official Lisdoonvarna Festival website (which has been redesigned over the past 24 hours) has Gemma down on the line-up for the main stage, and she even has her own artist page here
