Sharon will be appearing on ITV (UK) "This Morning" tomorrow 15th July. Apparently she WILL be performing and being interviewed. Not sure if it can be viewed on-line outside the UK.

On the same day, she will be recording an interview with UK actor/comedian Robert Llewellyn for his online series "Carpool". Not sure when it will go "on-site".

Sharon's next media appearance will be on the internet "chat" program "Carpool" where British actor/comedian Robert Llewelynn gives his "guest" a lift; in this case delivering Sharon to Heathrow Airport after her TV appearance a few weeks back.

He announced via Twitter "Okay, this Friday's CarPool features the lovely, funny, charming and very talented Sharon Corr." It will online Friday morning UK time on www.llewtube.com/

The lady seems to have a similar effect on everyone she encounters, doesn't she .... well maybe not Gavin at times. Some enterprising Corrs fans snagged the following spoiler from last weeks episode.

Below is an excerpt from latest Hotpress. This is a BIG break for Sharon when it comes to airplay.

Corr breaks BBC

06 Aug 2009
Sharon Corr has made a major breakthrough with her debut single

In the first week of its release, ‘It’s Not A Dream’ is one of only two tracks to have been added to the BBC Radio 2 A-list – the key tracks that will definitely receive maximum rotation on the channel over the course of the next week at least. There are only ten tracks in all on the A-list, which includes Paolo Nutini’s ‘Coming Up Easy’, Athlete’s ‘Superhuman Touch’ and Lily Allen’s ‘Twenty Two’. This week’s second newbie is Pixie Lott’s ‘Boys and Girls’, which is BBC2’s Record Of The Week.

“It is an amazing achievement,” Sharon Corr’s manager John Hughes told Hot Press. “Normally you expect to debut on the C-list and maybe progress to he B-list – but going straight to the A-list with a debut release is really special. It is a statement of how highly they rate the record.”

Among the tracks debuting on the B-list this week – and which by definition have been outshone by ‘It’s Not A Dream’ in the eyes of the BBC Radio 2 team – are U2’s ‘I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight’ and Noisettes ‘Wild Young Hearts’. The Dolores O’Riordan single ‘The Journey’ is also in favour with the BBC, nestling in the C-List for the second week, alongside ‘Moments Like This’ by Reamonn – the German based rock outfit fronted by the Tralee-born former singer with the Reckless Pedestrians Rea Garvey – and The Duckworth Lewis Method’s superb ‘Meeting Mr. Miandad’. In all, an impressive four out of a total of 27 playlisted tracks have a strong Irish connection.

“What’s exciting is that BBC Radio 2 is the most influential radio station in Europe, especially where it comes to selling albums,” John Hughes adds. “It really is very encouraging to have that kind of endorsement, so early in Sharon’s development as a solo artist. I knew that it was a great single but still I’m amazed.”

Sharon Corr has recently made a number of successful festival appearances, including at the Isle of Wight and Oxegen. Her as yet untitled debut album is scheduled for Autumn release.


Meanwhile, Sharon has also just completed the recording of a duet with the Spanish superstar Alex Ubago, who is a huge seller in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Venezuela as well as Spain.

Wow! Excellent news!! ;D I hope the single will really catch on! It is a great track.

And I think it's very great that she's reaching out to the Spanish-language fans. Her little sister found great support from those fans, so they obviously paid attention.

Sharon's "Carpool" appearance is absolutely not to be missed and continues to add conclusive evidence that this lady is the ultimate "dream guest".

Incredibly charming & totally at ease with anyone; the camera is hopelessly in love with her; hysterically funny YET switches effortlessly to serious, reasoned responses where the question warrants. The clips can be viewed on www.llewtube.com/
and Robert Llewellyn has kindly allowed it to be used on Sharon's official site.

For those with less than stellar English skills; Lisa (Oz Queen) from COL has spent @ 4hours transcribing the interview and it can be read at community.livejournal.com/thecorrsonline/15055.html .Thank you Lisa for yr amazing work which has not gone un-noticed by Robert Llewellynn himself who Tweeted his thanks.

Yes, it was a real fun thing to watch. I laughed a lot at the humor (some of it quite "dark") but it had it's serious moments as well and honest moments. Most families - even families that do love each other - have really BAD fights, and it sounds as if the Corrs were no exception. The difference is that they had to go on stage afterwards. That must have been really hard in an emotional sense.

As another fan wrote, Robert Llewellynn did an excellent job bringing out Sharon's thoughts and personality in a very "real" setting. I mean, she REALLY needed to get to the airport! The "Carpool" is quite an interesting concept.
