How The Corrs Started Their Music Journey
The Corrs first formed their band in 1991. They hoped to get parts in a movie called The Commitments. Jim, Sharon, and Caroline got small roles as musicians in the film. Andrea even got a speaking part as Sharon Rabbitte, who was the sister of the main character. It was during their tryouts for this movie that a music manager named John Hughes noticed their talent. He helped them get their start in the music world.
Their music has been released through a big music company called Atlantic Records.
Their first album, named Forgiven, Not Forgotten, became very popular, especially in Australia. After that, they released another album called Talk On Corners. This album was a huge hit in their home country of Ireland and also in Britain.
