nightcat - thanks for this Steve! I'll see what I can do. *fingers crossed* (n/t) 17-May-2019 06:27:56

MentariS - Andrea’s memoir to be published by HarperCollins later this year 15-May-2019 11:06:26

SteveW - I would love to read this 15-May-2019 11:49:32

Corranga - Oh, this is a surprise. I'll buy it and probably not read it ;) (n/t) 15-May-2019 12:50:43

MentariS - I hope whoever edits/ghostwrites it does her story justice! 15-May-2019 13:24:16

SteveW - I wonder if she would write it herself 15-May-2019 13:34:07

dave - I would imagine Andrea wrote it herself, that's very much her way of doing things. 15-May-2019 16:14:09

MentariS - Yep, I'm also leaning towards Andrea's own personal story 16-May-2019 12:25:16

SteveW - Given that the book is supposed to be coming out in October... 16-May-2019 13:03:59

MentariS - Articles about Barefoot Pilgrimage on The Irish Independent and RTÉ: 16-May-2019 00:54:00

nightcat - I'm also surprised by this in a good way. Personally I hope Andrea wrote all of it and is working with a good editor (n/t) 17-May-2019 06:33:03

Robin - Sort of Corrs related. In Scotland last sat to see amazing Rebecca Connelly gig. She has just written a new album but 15-May-2019 00:11:45

Den - I see Caroline's on hols near Monaco (n/t) 14-May-2019 00:00:40

SteveW - Long Night -- instructions 27-Apr-2019 04:26:31

Wendy - Happy to let someone else play tin whistle if they want! 27-Apr-2019 06:49:48

nightcat - I'm willing to chip in my average but workable backing vocal for this but I'm gonna need a guide first 27-Apr-2019 07:16:19

SteveW - nightcat, could you go ahead and send me an email anyway? Thanks! (n/t) 28-Apr-2019 02:32:31

nightcat - I don't think I remember your email SteveW, mind sending it to me via Twitter? (n/t) 28-Apr-2019 10:27:28

Corranga - Email sent. Dropbox, or perhaps even google drive can be used to share larger files if needed 27-Apr-2019 20:19:52

SteveW - Give it your best shot, no pressure :-) 28-Apr-2019 02:34:06

SteveW - Long Night guide track 28-Apr-2019 10:17:16

SteveW - Tricky rhythm in Long Night 30-Apr-2019 00:15:31

dave - Sharon's Live In San Paulo DVD is available again - go to her Facebook page for details. (n/t) 24-Apr-2019 20:25:42

dave - ...and on Twitter. (n/t) 25-Apr-2019 11:27:50

SteveW - quick Long Night verse mock-up 24-Apr-2019 19:56:48

Wendy - Wow, sounds great Steve! 25-Apr-2019 03:00:31

SteveW - Yeah, the timing might be a bit off 25-Apr-2019 04:12:42

nightcat - Long Night is one of my fave Corrs songs, got chills when I heard it for the first time. (n/t) 25-Apr-2019 05:30:03

Wendy - Authenticity 25-Apr-2019 06:03:34

SteveW - Another problem with too much quantizing... 25-Apr-2019 07:54:24

StPaddy - I am. :) 26-Apr-2019 07:22:55

SteveW - Glad you're still around, Michael! 26-Apr-2019 10:43:37

StPaddy - In general, are we looking for a 1 to 1 rendition of each instrument´s track... 27-Apr-2019 11:20:24

SteveW - IMO, we should feel free to add our own personal expression 27-Apr-2019 12:25:17

Terry2 - Expression 27-Apr-2019 19:59:57

BallerinaTay - Very good work Steve! 25-Apr-2019 06:00:58

SteveW - quick mock-up of Long Night with 2 verses and 2 choruses, in different keys 26-Apr-2019 01:02:03

BallerinaTay - This is awesome! 26-Apr-2019 04:08:39

Wendy - Sounds good. Changing the key may complicate it for tin whistlers... 26-Apr-2019 05:52:58

BallerinaTay - And if that is the case we can keep it in it’s original key. (n/t) 26-Apr-2019 14:24:15

SteveW - Transposing keys 26-Apr-2019 18:10:17

Terry2 - Keys 26-Apr-2019 22:31:52

SteveW - Technology to the rescue 27-Apr-2019 01:46:13

Wendy - Yeah, use tech - unless someone has an E flat whistle 27-Apr-2019 02:41:26

Arikorr - E flat whistle 27-Apr-2019 10:04:58

Wendy - Excellent! 27-Apr-2019 14:56:02

SteveW - Keyboard parts 27-Apr-2019 15:43:48

SteveW - Harmony - instrumental version 23-Apr-2019 10:57:25

Wendy - Thanks Steve for expertly working out the keys! 23-Apr-2019 11:55:56

SteveW - Long Night -- another Corrs Club cover? 20-Apr-2019 02:47:12

Wendy - Long Night sounds like it features a lot of guitar 20-Apr-2019 05:12:21

Wendy - Or even just tin whistle if many others wanted to do backing vocals (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 05:13:44

Wendy - Or, not tin whistle if someone else wants to do that. 20-Apr-2019 05:18:22

SteveW - It does sound like there is a lot of heavily effected guitar 20-Apr-2019 05:26:30

Wendy - Ha, a massed vocal version would sound great, but so much work, like you said! (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 09:46:58

Corranga - As below, I'd quite like to try something out, though I don't want to be more of a burden... 20-Apr-2019 09:34:33

SteveW - I think it's worth a shot! 20-Apr-2019 10:01:18

Wendy - It may not take as long for others... 20-Apr-2019 10:49:39

SteveW - Yes, now we know we can make this work 20-Apr-2019 11:10:47

Wendy - Yeah, and that last 10% is tricky because it no longer feels 'fresh' 20-Apr-2019 11:18:46

SteveW - By the way, just to be clear... 20-Apr-2019 11:33:39

Wendy - I freaked out a little seeing it took almost 2 years - I didn't realise it had been that long! 20-Apr-2019 11:46:09

SteveW - Scheduling 20-Apr-2019 12:02:18

nightcat - For me at least, the deadline for me worked because I'm sometimes quite a procrastinator😅😂 (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 12:40:19

Arikorr - Sounds like a great idea!! 20-Apr-2019 10:02:23

SteveW - A couple of Long NIght cover versions 20-Apr-2019 12:26:38

BallerinaTay - I’m really excited you all would like to give it a try! 20-Apr-2019 18:00:38

SteveW - OK, let's go for it! 21-Apr-2019 03:43:58

SteveW - Long Night tempo 21-Apr-2019 11:18:36

BallerinaTay - I may play with it so see about transposing it up just a bit. 21-Apr-2019 22:19:36

SteveW - OK, let us know what works best for you (n/t) 22-Apr-2019 01:16:44

SeanCorrain - I'm in ! (n/t) 23-Apr-2019 02:30:38

SteveW - Sean, what do you play? (or sing?) (n/t) 23-Apr-2019 02:55:24

Fran_SS - I could handle the mixing of the track :) 23-Apr-2019 16:51:36

SteveW - Fran, it would be great if you could do the production/mixing! (n/t) 24-Apr-2019 12:14:24

GaelleF - I don't mind singing again, don't know if I'd have time to take out my tin whistle ! (n/t) 24-Apr-2019 15:45:22

Fran_SS - Sure I can give it a try Steve ;) Maybe it's a huge task I'm underestimating, but... 25-Apr-2019 11:57:49

SteveW - One thing I had problems with when I was trying to do preliminary mixes of Harmony... 25-Apr-2019 12:03:31

Fran_SS - Yes, I know what you mean. That's due to the recording technique and the range of frecuencies of the different sounds 25-Apr-2019 12:52:20

Wendy - Releasing: HARMONY - a worldwide Corrs Club collaboration! 19-Apr-2019 04:59:37

BallerinaTay - Okay, this is REALLY cool!! 19-Apr-2019 05:17:04

Wendy - Woohoo! Glad you like it BallerinaTay! 19-Apr-2019 05:28:12

nightcat - Wow this turned out GOOD, considering our resources 😍 19-Apr-2019 06:39:26

BallerinaTay - It turned out great! I’d be honored to sing the next one! You all just say the word! (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 15:23:56

SteveW - What song would you want to sing? 19-Apr-2019 19:27:59

BallerinaTay - To be very honest I’m open to whatever. 20-Apr-2019 01:20:06

MentariS - Well done everyone! This is SO good--hope Andrea, Caroline, Jim, and Sharon will get to listen to it!! 19-Apr-2019 08:48:16

Robin - Absolutely brilliant, love it. Well done to you all, amazing vocals Wendy. The Corrs will love it. (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 10:38:29

Wendy - Thanks so much Robin! (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 02:26:52

SteveW - Thanks to all who contributed -- this turned out way better than I had expected 19-Apr-2019 10:28:13

Wendy - Yes, thanks everyone for your contributions and patience! 19-Apr-2019 10:45:38

Wendy - Wrote a long blog post about how we did it... 19-Apr-2019 10:46:45

SteveW - Enjoyed the blog post; you captured the process perfectly. 19-Apr-2019 11:08:53

Corranga - Wow, well done to all involved, this is fantastic, such a beautiful version, I'm really impressed! 19-Apr-2019 11:27:33

nightcat - Who knows Chris, maybe you can join in next time 😂 (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 12:17:52

Wendy - What do you play/sing? Perhaps you can do the next one! (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 12:47:02

Corranga - haha, yes, that's part of the problem ;) (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 09:24:24

Wendy - Yeah, I blog to have an account of projects so I also don't forget! 19-Apr-2019 12:51:49

nightcat - It's a bit long but I also enjoyed reading the blogpost Wendy 19-Apr-2019 12:23:20

Wendy - Ha, yes I did warn you it was long. May have to edit it! (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 12:45:58

nightcat - No need to edit it Wendy if you ask me 19-Apr-2019 13:39:17

Wendy - OK cool - true, if we do it again we might need to refer back to the notes! (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 13:44:43

Fran_SS - Well, that was something! Congrats guys 19-Apr-2019 11:38:50

MentariS - I might just add, the release couldn't be more fitting considering what's going on in Northern Ireland at the moment... 19-Apr-2019 15:05:28

Wendy - Terry had the smart idea to release it on Good Friday, but obviously I didn't expect there to be riots last night 19-Apr-2019 15:20:02

Mark - It's very good! And you have a very pretty voice. :) (n/t) 19-Apr-2019 17:06:53

Wendy - Hey thanks Mark! It literally took hundreds of takes to sound okay :) (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 02:24:35

Arikorr - Wow!! Very well done!! 19-Apr-2019 20:58:12

Wendy - Thanks Arikorr! Yes, I liked that we had lots of our different voices in the end section! (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 02:26:33

Leslie - Well done!! (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 01:28:45

AB_CLOSER - WOW!!! Thanks. (n/t) 20-Apr-2019 23:04:17

RichardY - Only just had a chance to listen to this. Love it! Well done to everyone involved! (n/t) 24-Apr-2019 12:09:09

SteveW - Coming soon... watch this space 15-Apr-2019 12:08:04

nightcat - looking forward to this 👀 (n/t) 17-Apr-2019 00:19:39

MentariS - Can't wait... (n/t) 18-Apr-2019 04:39:04

SteveW - Just one more day... (n/t) 18-Apr-2019 09:26:19

MentariS - "She Moved Through the Fair" by Andrea and Dervish is now available: 12-Apr-2019 11:35:21

Wendy - Nice version, and a little bit different which is good! 13-Apr-2019 03:10:06

nightcat - Thanks for sharing Mentari! It's always nice to keep the fires of Celtic music burning within us. (n/t) 13-Apr-2019 14:24:43

SteveW - Andrea did a version of this song in 2012 for an album called "Celtic Skies" 14-Apr-2019 12:45:08

Corranga - I certainly sounds very like it's the same vocal track to me. 15-Apr-2019 08:20:01

MentariS - Good question Steve, I too have been wondering the same thing... 15-Apr-2019 09:08:20

Fran_SS - There's a very subtle difference in a few words, but other than that I'd say it's exactly the same vocal take 19-Apr-2019 10:25:34

Eduardo - White Light (Demo Version) 02-Apr-2019 12:12:53

Eduardo - Forgot the clickable link 02-Apr-2019 12:14:10

SteveW - This is really interesting to hear; thanks for posting it 02-Apr-2019 12:33:03

dave - I much prefer these 'demo singles' to the versions that make it onto their albums. (n/t) 02-Apr-2019 14:19:22

Wendy - Sharon singing Goodbye in demo version 06-Apr-2019 12:50:00

Leslie - Oh my goodness, what a find! I've never heard Sharon’s demo of Goodbye before. (n/t) 08-Apr-2019 16:22:03

sergio - fantastic, thanks for posting. I love the violin part and the more organic touch (n/t) 03-Apr-2019 19:12:02

nightcat - The link doesn't work for me now, is it posted somewhere else already? 05-Apr-2019 05:57:54

Wendy - Is this it? 06-Apr-2019 11:42:27

Wendy - I like the opening of this more than the released version 06-Apr-2019 12:59:53

Corranga - Is the Sharon version of Goodbye the same on that was on iTunes (I think) and was on a promo CD? (n/t) 15-Apr-2019 11:23:24

SteveW - I think it's the version on the 2006 remix of Goodbye 15-Apr-2019 11:43:13

MentariS - I much prefer this demo version to the one that made it to the album 15-Apr-2019 09:09:23

Wendy - I also prefer Sharon's demo of Goodbye - it's softer and more vulnerable 19-Apr-2019 05:24:59

dave - If you live in Australia and want to book Sharon Corr..... 01-Apr-2019 09:40:09

MentariS - Interesting... (n/t) 01-Apr-2019 14:29:04

Wendy - Maybe I should book her for my birthday in June! (Pretty sure I can't afford her!). (n/t) 02-Apr-2019 02:57:22

dave - You might be pleasantly surprised, though you might have to pay her airfares ! (n/t) 05-Apr-2019 19:51:34

Wendy - Airfares from Europe to Australia are too expensive for me! (n/t) 06-Apr-2019 12:48:21

nightcat - In the *very* slight chance that I win the lottery, maybe I'll invite Shaz to Aus and fly myself there too. (n/t) 07-Apr-2019 10:53:19

Wendy - Excellent! I have actually met Sharon in Australia... 07-Apr-2019 13:46:59

dave - Yep, its nice when that happens isn't it Wendy. (n/t) 07-Apr-2019 17:29:27

Wendy - Yes, I totally recommend meeting a Corr! 09-Apr-2019 01:02:48

dave - Tiny little thing, yet they all look normal stature on stage. But yes, very pleasant personality. (n/t) 09-Apr-2019 20:18:35

MentariS - I second that, especially in Australia :-) 12-Apr-2019 07:04:35

Wendy - Cool! Yes, she was physically tiny but had a big aura (for want of a better word) 13-Apr-2019 03:03:15

SteveW - 1995 Late Late Show performance of Love to Love You 30-Mar-2019 14:32:13

dave - Certainly an early performance - not sure if Keith and Anto had even joined the band 30-Mar-2019 16:56:08

CorrMac - FNF was released in 1995. As far as I can remember, Keith and Anto joined ... 30-Mar-2019 18:18:18

dave - There's a certain purity to that Late Late Show performance which I like. (n/t) 30-Mar-2019 22:27:47

SteveW - Is the listed date (1995) of this performance correct? 31-Mar-2019 09:46:47

CorrMac - Now that I've actually watched that video ... 31-Mar-2019 21:54:11

nexi_exi17 - The exact date of that performance is: May 16, 1997. Based on 02-Apr-2019 10:53:14

SteveW - Thanks for the confirmation on the 1997 date, Miguel (n/t) 03-Apr-2019 02:42:14

CSCfan - Only Andy's vocals are live... :) (n/t) 31-Mar-2019 11:25:08

CorrMac - Caroline was presented to the Queen today ... 28-Mar-2019 19:36:14

dave - .... did the Queen give her back ? (n/t) 28-Mar-2019 22:48:04

CorrMac - I'm guessing she did or she wouldn't have been able to post on Instagram! 28-Mar-2019 23:09:07

MentariS - According to Anna Lucy Hughes’s Instagram story, a suite in the music school is named after Caroline (n/t) 29-Mar-2019 08:06:41

GaelleF - Seems Caroline has relocated in England for good, as her kids go to that school now. Article: 29-Mar-2019 12:41:56

CorrMac - She still seems to have her house in Mallorca ... 29-Mar-2019 14:32:26

MentariS - Anna Lucy Hughes has confirmed on IG that it’s indeed the new percussion room that’s named after Caz (n/t) 30-Mar-2019 00:46:17

CorrMac - P.S. Hope that they don't know more than we do ... 29-Mar-2019 14:38:55

dave - My understanding is that the Corr siblings and their families have homes 29-Mar-2019 15:11:34

MentariS - Photos of Caroline at the event posted by King's Bruton (the school) on Facebook and Flickr: 29-Mar-2019 18:37:59

MentariS - Video of Caz greeting the Queen posted by @thecorrsfanpage on IG: 30-Mar-2019 00:50:27

nightcat - I think the Queen wearing green was also a nice touch, and glad she gave back Caroline hahahahahaha (n/t) 31-Mar-2019 13:40:18

nexi_exi17 - Acoustic Piano Cover of Only When I sleep 28-Mar-2019 18:21:08

Robin - That's excellent, I really enjoyed it. (n/t) 29-Mar-2019 11:53:48

SteveW - This was wonderful, Miguel -- I loved it! How did you isolate the vocals from the other instruments? (n/t) 30-Mar-2019 15:40:07

nexi_exi17 - Thanks Steve!! Well, I used the instrumental version of OWIS that comes in the single CD and 02-Apr-2019 10:04:13

SteveW - How do you isolate the vocals? 03-Apr-2019 02:44:09

Den - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sharon I hope you're having a great day 😀 (n/t) 24-Mar-2019 23:57:59
