THE RTÉ ARCHIVES is a consistent source of nostalgic joy.
Every day they trawl through old footage and dig out some absolute gems – like a 10-year-old Saoirse Ronan in the drama Proof and, of course, Pint Baby.
Recently, they shared a clip from November 3, 1991 – the first time The Corrs appeared on RTÉ
Playing a show called Eye on the Music, The Corrs performed their song Mystery of You
There’s Caroline on piano and Jim on guitar
This song was never officially released as a single.
But the band is there fully formed – with Andrea on lead vocals and Sharon on violin
You can watch the full performance on the RTÉ archive, and here’s a little clip of the chorus to give you a taster
It was 26 years ago this weekend – as Eye on the Music went out on a Sunday night
Apart from The Corrs, it was a pretty Commitments-heavy line-up that night featuring Andrew Strong and The Black Velvet Band – with Maria Doyle Kennedy as its lead singer.
The Corrs would go on to bigger things – but this is where it all began.
