THE RUBY SESSIONS in Doyle’s pub in Dublin has hosted a few fairly big artists in the past – like Ed Sheeran, above.

But last night saw the return of an absolute Irish institution to the city – and we’re not talking about U2.

Yes, it was The Corrs

Garbrielle Alpin and THE CORRS are playing a gig in Doyles for €6 and I'm stuck in Wexford. WHY

You might even say that they were left… breathless.
