While The Corrs' tours to date have concentrated solely on the music, the current outing has seen several developments on the visual front. An integrated video and lighting concept has been designed by Willie Williams, one of the UK's foremost rock 'n' roll LDs, with the help of The Corrs' regular LD and board op Liam McCathy. Faced with an arena-sized stage but limited video budget, Williams specified an unusual LED video wall — leaving out every second panel to produce a characteristic checkerboard effect and creating a wall of twice the size for the same expense. This 32-panel Megascreen wall (supplied by Screenco) would be unusable for conventional source material, but in collaboration with video director Craig Tinnetti, Williams has merged a series of abstract video clips with his own lighting projections. One stunning example of this is a combined starcloth and video sequence depicting a space flight — and because the LED screen is kept hidden behind a projection gauze, the audience is never fully aware of the “cheat.” Other lighting features (supplied by Lighting & Sound Design) include nearly 80 LSD Icons and Studiocolors, and no less that 12 follow spots, all driven from Icon and Wholehog II consoles.

Before they made their first album, The Corrs had no drummer. Like most Pop bands of the time they used synthesizers to keep time. Caroline volunteered to be the drummer even though she didn't know how to play them. Her practice paid off and now she is considered one of the better drummers in the business.
