The Corrs is one of the world's most hardworking
bands.These 4 talented siblings from Dundalk,
Ireland has won the hearts of many fans all over
the world through their special blend of
Irish/pop/rock music.Andrea,Caroline,Sharon and
Jim were taught to play the piano by their father.
Both their parents were musicians and it's no
wonder that the music blood runs true in their
veins.
When they first started out,The Corrs were just
playing in pubs in Ireland.Until one day,they
turned up unannounced at David Foster's office.
But David Foster granted them an audition.After
hearing The Corrs play,David Foster signed them
up for a contract on the spot and became their
producer.So begins The Corrs' journey to
stardom.
Since then,The Corrs have released 4 best-
selling albums.Their first album was released in
1995,the 2nd in 1998,the 3rd in 2000 and the
4th,a compilation album,in 2001.Throughout the
years,The Corrs have collaborated with many
talented artists such as The Chieftains,Bono of
U2 and Josh Groban.The Corrs have also been
nominated for a Grammy in the 2001 Grammy
Awards.The Corrs are highly looked upon for
they have performed in front of respected public
figures such as Bill Clinton,the former President
of USA,Nelson Mandela,and lately,the British
Royal Family during the Queen's Jubilee Party.
The Corrs' success is very much influenced by
their image,for the siblings are blessed
with good looks.But most important of all,is their
talent and the passion to make music that has
brought them this far.The Corrs have very often
let their music do the talking and so far,it is
getting the reply that they want.
