The Corrs | fansite (1194 words)
Sharon is proud of the fact that she only ever missed one violin lesson in her whole life and today, she is qualified to teach the instrument professionally.
Sharon loves interacting with the crowd, and is often seen dancing and jigging around, waving to people or throwing her irresistible, warm, beautiful, and radiant smile.
Sharon, like every person that plays live, is not perfect and she does make mistakes, not very often, but when they do happen, and she maybe starts playing a little too early, she ends up giving herself, the rest of the band, and the crowd, a good laugh.
