25. Briana Corrigan
Portstewart singer Briana Corrigan sang A Little Time with The Beautiful South, the single topped the UK chart and the video, memorably featuring a wrecked kitchen and a marriage breakdown, won the 1991 Brit Award for Best Video. ‘Carry On Up The Charts – The Best Of The Beautiful South’ entered the British album chart at No1 in early December 1994 and stayed at the top until the end of January, 1995, becoming one of the fastest-selling British albums in history. Briana had already moved on, leaving the band in September 1994 to forge a solo career and explore her other interests in writing and theatre. Briana’s most recent project is a collection of Irish Folk songs which she will be recording in Ireland over this coming summer. Photo: s
