That title is deceptive. Years before I did this interview with all members of The Corrs, I had interviewed Andrea Corr, twice, once over the phone for 'The Joe Jackson Interview' slot in The Irish Times - their "first serious interview" Andrea later claimed - and once for Hot Press magazine. Each was my more customary in-depth interview. However, this was more of a chat, meant primarily to "introduce The Corrs to newspaper readers in the UK," which is what the commissioning editor of the Daily Mail said to me. The interview was designed purely to serve that purpose and much of what we said was not published. However, I did use some sections when The Buzz magazine also commissioned me to "do a piece about The Corrs." Incidentally, during this interview I allude to both of my interviews with Andrea and I will be revisiting them for future podcasts. Click 'subscribe' if you want to be notified
