Coup for York as Corrs booked to headline racecourse music weekend

The family quartet, famous internationally for their distinctive mix of traditional Celtic music with a pop rock twist, have notched up more than 30 million album sales, a string of awards and a number one single with Breathless.

Their July 23 gig at York will follow the day’s sporting action.

Lead vocalist Andrea Corr said; “We love open-air summer shows, so are really looking forward to playing York Racecourse after the races. We had a fantastic time touring our new album ‘White Light’ at the start of the year so can’t wait to get back on the road to perform all our hits for a few familiar faces and more this summer.”

The racecourse’s marketing boss James Brennan said: “It is great news that The Corrs, a band who delight in entertaining, will be performing for us, it should be an event to remember.”
