As you can see, it has been a while since they have visited these countries. The same is true with Australia where there hasn't been a Corrs concert since 2001, from what I can tell.

hm...yeah. unfortunatly...but I think it's due to their young families...isn't it?

SE Asia and Australia WERE on the hitlist for Broken Heaven, but scuttled by Caro's 2nd bub. Sales of BH would have risen exponentially had they been able to actively promote it in these markets (despite there probably not being a real standout hit on the disc).

My sources inside the Oz industry confirm that there still exists a remarkably strong residual market here for them and this is also the case in a number of SE Asian markets.

If (as we suspect) they do return; their days of end on end touring ARE over and would prob limit this to @ 4 mths/yr. W Europe remains strong and would be first priority. If the material is looking successful, would suspect that this part of the world would prob get a call. Will certainly be an easier sell than the slog that would be called for across the Atlantic

I think that Corrs soon realized that Atlantic U.S. was not going to make any effort at with Borrowed Heaven. As Jim says in ATWH, the executives with whom they had developed relationships were all gone. The Corrs had become the step-children of the Atlantic label in America. I believe that the Corrs essentially saw the handwriting on the wall and gave up in North America. They retrenched to the status of a "Euroband" where they have remained since the end of 2004.

The growing families precluded a return to Asia and Australia where I hope they might have still had a large latent following. I do hope that the Corrs will return to Australia and Asia, but we first have to see if they plan to return at all. Upon a return, I would feel that justice would demand that Australia be placed high on the list of touring destinations, since Oz was instrumental in the Corrs' early success and yet was skipped in 2004.
