The
Corrs
By Barry Egan of Ireland's Sunday Independent
The first thing you notice about The Corrs is the last thing you remember
about them. Once you hear the music - the physical beauty is largely unimportant.
Their prodigious talent as musicians - as writers of timeless moments
in pop - is indisputable. They are Irish pop culture's first sex symbols
but they are all whip-smart with it. Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim
understand the ten year slog it took them to get to this point of success.
Theirs is a story of great struggle and even greater success - of years
of uncertainty and inner turmoil. They remember the dark nights when it
looked like their band was getting nowhere fast, when no record company
was interested in them.
They remember those times well - the times when only their manager John
Hughes, their PR Barry Gaster and their parents seemed to believe in them.
For these reasons alone, The Corrs and complacency will always be sworn
enemies... despite their unimaginable success, they are not about to rest
on their laurels. They revel in their work and its creative possibilities.
