Best Of The Corrs

                 Caroline is the second youngest of the Corr siblings. Born on March 17, 1973. She also learned the piano at an early
                 age. She plays the bodhran and the drums. Also, part of the back vocals usually. The bodhran was another instrument
                 that Caroline mastered from an early age. She incredibly learned this instrument solely from watching videos of
                 traditional Irish musicians playing it. When Caroline was eighteen, the Corrs (band formed) needed a drummer. An old
                 boyfriend had a drum kit, and he showed her some basic beats. With the help of "teach yourself CD's," Caroline was able
                 to learn simple drum loops and rolls. Armed with this small amount of knowledge, she then proceeded to become the
                 drummer in the band, and had all her training playing live. Go, Caroline! Caroline laughs, "It was a nightmare. I had only
                 been playing for a short time, and there I was being chucked in at the deep end. Luckily, people never noticed all the
                 mistakes I used to make, or if they did, they were too polite to tell me." While learning, she had blisters and... hand
                 problems. She overcame this by wearing gloves. Now, she wears golf gloves which keeps her comfortable for ninety
                 minutes or so.

                 Caroline appears to be the shyest of the siblings which is surprising because as a child, she was considered a bit
                 tomboyish and befriended many boys. She has become a lot more outgoing since the band turned professional, and, in
                 interviews, she always looks relaxed and friendly while flashing her wonderful smile at the camera. But, don't be fooled,
                 as beneath that fun exterior lurks a serious side to her nature and seriousness towards her instruments and music career
                 that should never be underestimated. Caroline believes that if you want something bad enough, the best thing to do is
                 to just "go out there and get it." That's a philosophy she believes in strongly.

                 Caroline a number of bad habits, the worst may be sniffing her jumper. She says it brings her comfort. Caroline also
                 is rather attached to her mobile phone. She admits she has high bills and "can't live without it." She also confesses that
                 she hates cleaning mirrors and loathes bathrooms where someone has made a mess with the toothpaste.

Now, our Caroline is married to Frank Woods. Uh... not so sure about this topic. :) May I suggest Corrsonline?
