THE CORRS
are an Irish band that combine rock with traditional Celtic Irish folk themes
within their music. The group consist of the Corr siblings, Andrea (leadvocals, tinwhistle),
Sharon (violin, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano,
bodhrán, vocals), and Jim ( guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals). They are from Dundalk, Co. Louth, in Ireland.
The Corrs have released
five studio albums and numerous singles,
which have reached platinum in many countries. Talk
on Corners, their most successful album to date, reached multi-platinum
status in Australia, and in the UK it was the highest selling album of 1998.
The band is only the second act in history to hold the top two positions
simultaneously in the UK album charts, with Talk on Corners at number one
and Forgiven, Not Forgotten at number two.
The first group to achieve
this was The Beatles. Forgiven, Not Forgotten was the
second highest selling album in Australia in 1996, behind Alanis
Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. The Corrs' third studio album, In Blue, went
to number one in seventeen countries.
The Corrs have been
actively involved in philanthropic activities. They have performed in
numerous charity concerts such as the Prince's Trust event in 2004 and Live
8 alongside Bono in
2005. The same year, they were awarded honorary MBEs for their contributions
to music and charity. The band is currently inactive because Jim and
Caroline are raising families, while Andrea and Sharon are pursuing solo
careers. According to Sharon Corr, it is uncertain if and when The Corrs will
reunite.
