Andrea Jane Corr MBE (born May 17, 1974)
is the lead singer of Irish pop-rock band The Corrs and
an actress. Although her voice is her greatest
instrument, she also plays the tin whistle for the band.
The Corr siblings were awarded honorary
MBEs in 2005 by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of
their musical talents and their charitable work which
raised money for Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, victims
of the Omagh Bombing, and other charities.
She was born in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, the
youngest daughter of Jean and Gerry Corr, two musicians.
She and her elder siblings, sisters Caroline (b. 1973)
and Sharon Corr (b. 1970) and brother Jim Corr (b.
1964), formed The Corrs to audition for the 1991 film
The Commitments.
Although all four appeared in the film,
Andrea was the only one to be given a speaking part. But
several years later, in another fleeting appearance in a
major film, she was wanted strictly for a singing role -
it was the musical Evita, in which she played Juan
Peron's mistress, who is abruptly displaced by Madonna's
title character.
In 2002 a chance for Andrea to launch a more extensive
acting career appeared to open up as she was strongly
rumoured to have been offered the role of Lara in a
fresh British television production of Boris Pasternak's
classic novel Doctor Zhivago. The character was however
ultimately played by the then little known Keira
Knightley.
As the youngest member of the band, Andrea joined
directly from school. She usually performs on stage in
her bare feet.
As of March 2006 The Corrs are taking a sabbatical from
music as Jim, Caroline, and Sharon all have families of
their own and need the respite to spend more time with
them. In November of 2006, the band released a second
greatest hits compilation, titled "Dreams: The
Ultimate Corrs Collection".
Solo career: Andrea has recorded her first solo
album entitled Ten Feet High. The album, which was
released in the third week of June 2007, is produced by
Nellee Hooper and executive produced by U2's Bono.
Besides singing, she's also playing the piano. Eleven
tracks are penned by Andrea herself, except for one,
which is a cover of Squeeze's "Take Me I'm
Yours". June 3rd saw the first single being aired
on radio across the Republic of Ireland.
