The Corrs

The Corrs are a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Celtic folk-rock and pop rock group from Dundalk, Republic of Ireland. The members of the band are four siblings - three sisters and one brother - from the Corr family: Sharon, Caroline, Andrea and Jim Corr. The band rose to prominence in the late 1990s, and have since sold over 55 million albums worldwide, and have had numerous number one singles and albums in Europe, Australia, Asia and North America.

Members:

All of the Corrs were born in Dundalk, County Louth, the children of musicians Gerry and Jean Corr.

• 
  Jim Corr (born James Steven Ignatius Corr, on July 31, 1964) is the oldest member of the band. He plays guitar, keyboards/piano and does the backing vocals.
• 
  Sharon Corr (born Sharon Helga Corr, on March 24, 1970) plays the violin, and does the backing vocals.
• 
  Caroline Corr (born Caroline Georgina Corr, on March 17, 1973) plays drums, bodhrán, tambourine, percussion, piano and does the backing vocals.
• 
  Andrea Corr (born Andrea Jane Corr, on May 17, 1974 is the lead singer and plays the tin whistle.

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, the sister of the main character. While auditioning for the movie, they were noticed by their future manager, John Hughes.
They first achieved success after performing on The Late Late Show, then hosted by Gay Byrne, in 1993, singing their first single "Runaway".
However, the band was relatively unknown outside of Ireland until 1994, when American ambassador to the country Jean Kennedy Smith invited the group to perform at the 1994 World Cup in Boston. This performance also led to them becoming the supporting act for Celine Dion on her 1996 world tour.
Their first album, Forgiven, Not Forgotten, had its greatest success in Australia, Sweden, Spain and Ireland, gaining later success in the UK and in Canada. In 1997 they released Talk On Corners, which was principally popular in Ireland, eventually taking off in Britain, and later other countries. Both have been certified gold in the United States, and In Blue has been certified platinum by the RIAA. In 2004, they released a slightly more guitar orientated album, Borrowed Heaven.
According to the Irish Recorded Music Association, The Corrs have sold over 30 million albums worldwide, not including singles. In January of 2006 and January of 2007, the Irish Singles Chart, and RTE Albums Chart released statements claiming that the band had sold closer to 60 million albums worldwide.
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, Ron Wood from The Rolling Stones, Sheryl Crow on C'mon, C'mon and Bono from U2.
In 2005 the band returned with Home, a traditional Irish album celebrating their roots, many of the songs coming from their late mother's songbook.
The Corrs were made Honorary Members of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 for their outstanding contribution to music and charity work. This was met with some discontent by some in the Republic of Ireland as the Order is, obviously, a British award headed by Queen Elizabeth II.
In July of 2005, The Corrs performed at the Edinburgh Live 8 concert featuring Bono on one song.
