The Corrs at Live 8
The Corrs are a folk rock band from Ireland, consisting
of three sisters and one brother from the Corr family, who rose to prominence
in the late 1990s.
History
The Corrs were formed to audition for the 1991 film The Commitments. Jim,
Sharon, and Caroline had a small part as musicians, while Andrea got a
speaking part as Sharon Rabbitte, sister of the main character. While
auditioning for the movie they were noticed by their future manager, John
Hughes.
Their music has been released through Atlantic Records, part of the Warner
Music Group.
Their first album, Forgiven, Not Forgotten, had its greatest success in
Australia, France and Ireland, gaining later success in the UK. In 1998
they released Talk On Corners, which was primarily popular in Ireland
and Britain, but then successfully spread across the globe. Both have
been certified gold in the United States, and In Blue has been certified
platinum by the RIAA. In 2004, they released Borrowed Heaven, which has
been very popular globally. The band is scheduled to release a new Irish-themed
album titled Home in September 2005 and a new DVD titled Live in Geneva
in October 2005.
They also recorded Canto Alla Vita with Josh Groban for his self-titled
album, and also been involved with a number of collaborations including
with Rod Stewart, Alejandro Sanz, Sheryl Crow on "C'mon, C'mon"
and Bono from U2.
Band members
The four core band members were born in Dundalk, Ireland, the children
of Gerry and Jean Corr, two musicians.
Jim Corr (born July 31, 1964) is the oldest member of the band. He mainly
plays the guitar, but is also proficient on the keyboards and the piano.
Sharon Corr (born March 24, 1970) plays the violin and backing vocals.
Caroline Corr (born March 17, 1973) plays drums, percussion, bodhrán,
piano, backing vocals, and tambourine.
Andrea Corr (born May 17, 1974) sings lead vocals, backing vocals, and
plays the tin whistle.
Suprisingly all The Corrs members can play the piano which was taught
to them by their father Gerry Corr.
Support
The Corrs usual support musicians are Anto Drennan (lead guitar) and Keith
Duffy (bass guitar). From 2004, Duffy's brother Jason Duffy joined on
percussion, with Kieran Kiely on accordion and keyboards.
