EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!!!

The Corrs are to release their cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "Dreams". The single will be released in Japan in mid-March!! It has not yet been confirmed whether any other countries will be enjoying such a release..

The 'new' guitarist on tour who replaces Anto Drennan is called Conor Brady, he has worked with the band before in an indirect way!....He was the guitarist on the Commitments, he is credited in the sleeve notes on the album containing the films' music.

The following is information regarding the Radio 2 Broadcast on the 3rd, information entirely from Danny Anderson:

BBC Radio 2, is available across Scandanavia & Europe (Only in Mono ) via the Astra (SKY) satelite network.

Radio 2 can be found at: UK GOLD ASTRA Frequency 11.557 AUDIO Frequency 7.74 (mono Sub- carrier 6 )

So anyone in Europe or Scandanavia, and as far as The Canary Isles, will receive the programme. I strongly suggest they preprogramme the required radio channel onto a memory site and listed just before the news on the hour to check the station ID. You can connect your satelite receiver to your stereo, ( Remember it's illegal to tape from the radio .....) via the AUDIO OUT phono sockets at the rear of the receiver. The signal will be mono, but will be sent on both outputs (usually Red & White )
