Since their formation five years ago, the sibling quartet known as The Corrs 
has nurtured a fresh, vital sound which draws deeply from the 
centuries-old music of their Irish homeland. For their debut album, 
"FORGIVEN, NOT FORGOTTEN" (on 143/Lava Records), Jim Corr and 
sisters Andrea, Caroline and Sharon have forged a collection of 
songs that shimmer with mystical Celtic sounds driven into the '90s 
by a creative pop vision. Produced by 12-time Grammy winner 
David Foster, with co-production by Jim Corr and mixing by Bob 
Clearmountain, the result is mesmerizing music that is at once 
steeped in tradition and yet utterly contemporary.

"I really do hope that we can create our own niche," says 
Jim Corr, "but when I'm asked to describe our music, I always 
say that it's modern with an Irish influence, because the Celtic 
vein does run through everything we do. We're a traditional Irish 
pop-rock band, whatever that is." Continues Caroline: "It's a blend 
of modern rhythms and technology with acoustic instruments -- with 
violin, tin whistle, drum -- and, of course, the voices. The 
marrying of all these elements makes our sound."

The Corrs already have much of the world at their 
feet: "FORGIVEN, NOT FORGOTTEN" is gold in Canada, gold in Australia, 
platinum in Denmark, and a stunning four-times platinum in their Irish 
homeland, where the album is one of the biggest-selling debut albums 
by a native recording group in the country's history. In addition, 
the album is closing in on the gold mark in Japan, where the group 
will kick off their first-ever Southeast Asian tour on July 9th.

Shortly following that tour, the group will begin their first-ever 
U.S. concert tour on August 7 at the Deer Creek Music Center in 
Noblesville, Indiana. The Corrs will be supporting Celine Dion 
(a reprise of the group's European dates with Dion last year).

The Corrs' current world tour began in Ireland in April and continued with 
headlining dates in nine European countries; they most-recently completed 
a string of Canadian dates. Among the many highlights of the tour were 
appearances at the Odense Festival in Denmark before over 35,000 people; 
at Dublin's Rugby Peace International event (a populist call for the 
continuation of Anglo/Irish peace talks); and at the Fleadh (Irish for festival) 
with Sting and the Chieftains, before an audience of more than 50,000 at London's 
Finsbury Park.

Just prior to the European tour, Andrea Corr flew to Budapest to join director 
Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Pink Floyd: The Wall, Birdy, Mississippi Burning)
 and Madonna to shoot her role in the highly anticipated feature film, Evita. 
Andrea previously worked with Parker on 1991's The Commitments, in a small role 
that marked her film debut. The Corrs are no strangers to American television, 
having performed on CBS This Morning, NBC-TV+s Late Night With Conan O'Brien, 
and Good Morning America, as well as the New Year's Eve episode of FOX-TV's 
Beverly Hills 90210. 

On August 3rd, before the start of their U.S. dates with Dion, The Corrs will 
perform in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a televised Olympics special for 
German television. The group's performance will be broadcast by Germany's 
ZDF-TV to a potential overseas audience of some 10 million.
