History

The Corr siblings were exposed to music from their early years. Their main influence was from their parents, Gerry and Jean Corr. They played ballads and folk tunes in local bands, and formed their own band called "Sound Affair". Jean sang and Gerry played the keyboards and they performed covers of songs by various famous bands. The Corrs children travelled with Jean and Gerry to gigs in the family estate car.

As they'd approached their teenage years, they worked on vocal harmonies and instrumental skills in Jim's bedroom, a house which he rented around the corner. Jim played the guitar, Andrea was the lead singer, and Sharon and Caroline on the keyboards. They used a drum machine on the keyboards for rhythm.

They rehearsed a lot at Jim's place in his studio furnished with bits and pieces from the kitchen like egg cartons and fruit boxes. For the first couple of years, they spent weekends and nights trying to establish their own unique sound. The sound which they achieved first was a synthesised pop rock and soon other instruments were incorporated. Sharon incorporated the violin and Caroline only used the bodhran for instrumental songs. After, they teamed up with Bill Whelan to achieve the Irish celtic folk-rock sound.

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. The Commitments (1987) is a novel by Irish writer Roddy Doyle, and is the first episode in The Barrytown Trilogy. ... John Hughes is an Irish musician and manager best known for his management of The Corrs. ...

They first achieved success after performing on The Late Late Show, then hosted by Gay Byrne, in 1993, with their first single "Runaway". However, the band was relatively unknown outside Ireland until 1994, when American ambassador to the country Jean Kennedy Smith invited the group to perform at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in Boston after seeing them play a gig in Dublin. This performance also led to them becoming the supporting act for Celine Dion on her 1996 world tour. They'd extended their stay in America to search for a record deal. They'd landed one with Atlantic Records and over a period of five months, they'd recorded their first album, Forgiven, Not Forgotten.

Trivia

• The Corrs were occasionally lampooned on the British Saturday morning television program SMTV, where the hosts Ant McPartlin, Declan Donnelly, and Cat Deeley would don long, black wigs and lip gloss and announce to the camera "Hi, we're the beautiful Corrs" in soft Irish accents. Sitting a distance away from them was a man with a paper bag on his head labelled "Jim".
• The British comedy duo French and Saunders parodied the group with a song "We're The Pretty Face of Cloning (A Hundred More Sisters to Add to the Corrs)". Dawn French played all three sisters, with Jennifer Saunders playing Jim, who tries desperately to get the camera's attention but fails. The Corrs themselves were apparently amused, as they have shown the clip at concerts before the start of their set.
• Jonathan Ross once referred to Jim Corr as one of the unluckiest men in history (as he cannot "date any of his hot sisters").
• The Corrs’ uncle Peter Corr was a professional footballer who played for, among others, Everton and Ireland. In 1949 he was a member of the Ireland team that defeated England 2-0 at Goodison Park, Liverpool, becoming the first non-UK team to beat England at home.
• The fourth issue of Vertigo Comics series Jack of Fables contains a reference to The Corrs. The caption on the last page of the issue says that the title character Jack Horner will "finish escaping all the way to Ireland, where I wind up as the personal boy toy of those three hot fiddle-playing pop star sisters who named themselves after beer." The last part of the sentence is a reference to the Coors Brewing Company.
