Chapter: The Corrs: ...'genetically engineer the perfect pop group'

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.44401

Blurb:

Members of the Corr family formed a band to audition for the film, The Commitments. Although their management company was locally based, initially they effectively bypassed the local music industry in Ireland. While they eventually achieved very large global sales, their career pathway was not straightforward. Their career is an example of how artists can benefit from support from several countries, and not just from the music epicentre where they signed their record contract.
