the
Corrs

On
a lonely little Tuesday in February, well, it was the 10th to be exact,
Melissa and I decided to take a train trip out to Toombul in Brisbane.
No - we weren't on a hopeless wander - we were seeking out the terrific
Irish family of musicians known to the world as simply, The Corrs!
Touring Australia for the second time, the band treated fans to a free
live performance of a few of their songs and then the lucky people within
the barricade (who, out of interest, had been waiting there all morning!)
began their trek up to the stage where we met these lovely and very beautiful
people, had our albums signed and snapped many a photo (a few of which
are above)! Let me leave you with the truth about this family - Andrea
(lead singer, tin whistle), Caroline (bodhran, drums, backing vocals),
Sharyn (violinist, backing) and Jim (guitars, keyboards, programming, accordion)
are all extremely talented, powerful and moving in their live performances,
very beautiful and absolutely nothing but nice. They truly love their
Australian fans (who provide the second largest sales for them - outside
of Ireland) and this country, and we thank them for this opportunity to
show us this appreciation.
Below are a few snaps from their Cairns show in early '97 as well as my
signed copy of 'Talk on Corners' and 'Forgiven Not Forgotten (tour edition)'!
phew - yet ANOTHER mission successful and
complete! I'm on a roll!
