But the Irish family are coming Down Under for a special one night only incredibly evening of wine and song at Hope Estate in the heart of NSW's Hunter Valley wine region. Britain's Wet Wet Wet, Australia's Ben Lee and emerging artist Gaudion will be special guests on the evening.
The Corrs, consisting of Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle), Sharon (violin, piano, vocals), Caroline (drums, piano, vocals) and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals) have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and in excess of two million albums in Australia since their 1995 debut album Forgiven Not Forgotten. An enchanting mix of traditional Celtic music with a pop rock twist, The Corrs have written some of the biggest songs of the last three decades.
Their second album, Talk on Corners, is their biggest selling album to date and included the singles I Never Loved You Anyway and So Young.
After a short break, The Corrs returned in 2000 with In Blue, which had their last top 10 hit in Australia, Breathless. Their last tour of Australia was in 2001 in support of the album.
Returning to their folk roots with Borrowed Heaven and Home, The Corrs went on a decade long hiatus to raise families, only to return in 2015 with White Light and their latest release, 2017's Jupiter Calling.
Also getting on stage that evening is Wet Wet Wet, well known for tracks including Love Is All Around from the soundtrack Four Weddings and a Funeral and Sweet Surrender. The band last toured Australia in 1995 and their latest album, 2021's The Journey, is their first in over a decade.
Ben Lee has been one of Australia's most successful singer songwriters of the new millennium. Cigarette's Will Kill You and Catch My Disease have been radio staples for years and his 2006 smash, We're All In This Together.
Emerging artist, Gaudion will impress you with his charisma energy and zest for life which are embodied in his music as he continues his mission to spread happiness everywhere! Gaudion is nominated for Breakout Artist of the Year at this year's Gold Coast Music Awards and his unique style is influenced by the likes of Van Morrison, Ed Sheeran, James Reyne and Tracy Chapman.
The concert is on Saturday, November 26 at Hope Estate, Hunter Valley NSW. Tickets are available here.
