The Hot Press Newsdesk, 06 Sep 2010

Hot Press’ favourite Canadian Irishophile – if it’s not a word, it should be! – Emm Gryner returns with a new duets album, Gem And I.

Collaborators on the ace collection include New Model Army’s Justin Sullivan, Joe Elliott, Tom Dunne, the Tegan-less for once Sara Quin and Bubbles of Aussie sitcom Trailer Park Boys fame.

In addition to recording duties, Gryner has also found time to appear alongside Dawson Creek’s Joshua Jackson in hit indie film One Week and give birth to little Ronan. Congratulations on both fronts!
