John Hughes

Last modified 2 years, 4 months ago

John Hughes (born June 23, 1950) is an Irish musician and manager best known for his management of The Corrs.

Hughes began his music career by playing in the 1960s Dublin band Ned Spoon.

In 1991 Hughes started a band called Hughes Version featuring Jim Corr on keyboards. Hughes was also working as musical coordinator for the movie The Commitments. Jim simultaneously decided to audition with his three sisters, unbeknownst to Hughes at the time.

Commitments casting director Ros Hubbard who'd heard them perform convinced Hughes to become the band's manager despite his total lack of prior experience in management. Hughes remains the Corr’s manager to this day.
