The Corrs

Formed in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, The Corrs bring together siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim Corr around a blend of pop rock, folk rock and Celtic-influenced sounds where violin, tin whistle, bodhrán and vocal harmonies play a central role. The band emerged in the early 1990s, after a notable appearance tied to the film The Commitments, then quickly developed an international career with Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995 and Talk on Corners in 1997, two albums that establish this melodic writing at the crossroads of pop song and Irish tradition. With In Blue in 2000, The Corrs deepen their pop dimension without relinquishing their acoustic identity, before returning to a more folk-leaning balance on Borrowed Heaven in 2004 and dedicating themselves more directly to the traditional Irish repertoire on Home in 2005. Over the years, The Corrs have also shared projects with artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Bono or The Chieftains, while frequenting both major international tours and more acoustic formats like MTV Unplugged. After a long hiatus during which several members pursued solo projects, the group re-formed in 2015 and released White Light the same year, then Jupiter Calling in 2017. Since then, The Corrs have taken to the stage again with new tours, maintaining this family-band format where Anglo-Saxon pop and Irish musical heritage remain closely linked.
