The Corrs announced as artist ambassadors for UK's National Album Day

The organisers behind National Album Day have announced The Corrs as new artist ambassadors, joining the likes of Gabrielle, Declan McKenna, Tricky and Nuno Bettencourt.

Originally from Dundalk, The Corrs started their career gigging in local pubs around Ireland in 1990, the renowned band has gone on to release seven albums, including their platinum selling album Talk on Corners. After performing all over the world, the band is now sharing their pop rock and folk tunes with thousands as they tour Australia and New Zealand later this year.

“We're delighted to be ambassadors for this year's National Album Day to celebrate the art of the album! said the band. “Forgiven, Not Forgotten was our debut album originally released 28 years ago back in 1995. Its release came at such a special moment in time for us and it's been a real pleasure revisiting the memories as we've put together this special limited edition recycled colour vinyl.”

BRIT Award winner Shola Ama has also been announced as an artist ambassador for the UK event.

“Overjoyed to be an ambassador for NAD celebrating the 90’s”, said the acclaimed R&B singer. “The late 90’s was Such a great time for British music, especially for UK Soul and R&B , it’s been really nice to get the chance to revisit some songs and memories from that time and celebrate the album with a vinyl release - I love that vinyl is coming back into fashion .”

Now in its sixth edition, the celebration presented by Bowers & Wilkins alongside BBC Sounds honours the art of the album.  The event also pays tribute to the artists, who tell the stories behind their significant and influential bodies of work.
