When Dreams Are Real

Friday, August 6th, 2010

For the last few days I’ve been shooting the video for Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime. It has been one of the most magical experiences of my life!

Earlier in the year while in Madrid for the 100 Anos De Gran Via – I spoke with the record company of my love of Andalucia and in particular the Alhambra and how I would love the chance to perform there someday.

Well, my dream came true this week when I was allowed to shoot my video in the magical Moorish palace. I could feel it’s incredible history flow through me as I walked and performed.

We also shot on the beach below the Balcon de Europa in Nerja, a cliff top in Maro and the beautiful cobbled town of Frigiliana

A truly unforgettable experience!

Thanks to Guillermo – Warner Spain, to all at The Alhambra and to my director Pedro Castro and the crew.

Can’t wait for you all to see it!

Love,

Sharon xx

Children In Need – 6 Months On

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Aled Jones, Hayley Westenra and myself played a lovely show in Langholm Scotland last Friday, 22nd June. Last year, for Children In Need, Sir Terry Wogan auctioned us on BBC Radio 2 and the lucky David Stevenson was the highest bidder.

Here’s some footage from rehearsals during the day, filmed in the smallest hotel room imaginable (p.s. that’s not a toilet in the background!) and the wonderful show that night. (more…)

Stuart Cable

Monday, June 7th, 2010

I just cannot believe the sad, tragic news about the death of Stuart Cable. What a great guy he was. A fun loving guy. A rockin’ good drummer and the life and soul of the studio when we worked together.

I first met Stuart last summer doing promotion for Its Not A Dream at BBC Wales. He was such fun to be around and I am so glad that I got the chance to work with him when later in the year I asked him to come to Dublin to drum on ‘So Long Ago.’ We had such a lovely time. I expected and really looked forward to seeing him this year.

Stuart Cable and Sharon Corr

My heart goes out to Rachel, his mother Mabel, and all his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Stuart.

Sharon x
