Full Caroline Corr Biography
Caroline Georgina Corr MBE (born 17 March 1973, in Dundalk, County Louth) is the drummer for the folk-rock band, The Corrs. Caroline is 5'4", the second shortest after Andrea Corr in the band & family. In addition to the drums, Caroline also plays the bodhrán, piano, and occasional backing vocals. The Corr siblings were awarded honorary MBEs in 2005 by Queen Elizabeth II, in recognition of their musical talents and also their charitable work which has raised money for Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, victims of the Omagh Bombing and other charities.
Her parents, Jean and Gerry played ballads and folk tunes in local bands, and formed their own band called "Sound Affair". Jean sang and Gerry played the keyboards and they performed covers of songs by various famous bands. Caroline & her siblings were exposed to music from a very young age. Even at this stage little Caroline and her siblings travelled with Jean and Gerry to gigs in the family estate car.
Caroline was taught the piano by her father Gerry from a very early age like her other siblings. She also learnt the bodhrán by watching videos of traditional Irish musicians playing it.
Caroline married Frank Woods, her boyfriend of many years, in August 2002, in Majorca, Spain. Their first child, Jake, was born on 12 February 2003, and was joined by a second baby Georgina on 11 October 2004, which led to her taking some time off from the band's activities. On 1 December 2006, Caroline gave birth to a baby girl, the couple's third child, named Rihann.
