In this episode, we speak with Andy Murray, Andy was the European Marketing Director at Warner Music International and played a pivotal role in managing the marketing and promotion of The Corrs' albums. In our interview, we hear how he first heard of the band, his filming of the early Electronic Press Kit, and his helping to finalise a needed edit of the band’s music video for ‘Love to Love You'. He also conceptualised the band’s live EP, ‘The Corrs Live', to showcase the band’s live abilities, which contributed significantly to their widespread recognition as more than just a 'good-looking' pop act.
