Career
Minor Detail was headed by brothers John and Willie Hughes. Their lyrical themes were positive and covered topics such as romance and peace. Their self-titled debut album was produced by Bill Whelan (later of Riverdance fame), and they became the first Irish band to secure a recording contract with an American label. However, they were short-lived, splitting in 1984, but reunited for a brief period in 1986–87.[1] In 1991, John Hughes would discover the Corr siblings during an audition for The Commitments and would soon become The Corrs' manager.

gollark: You could theoretically do that with different structures to ~~companies~~ companies etc. in a market economy.
gollark: I mean, more like "without large-scale coordination mechanisms and specialization".
gollark: "do something which provides other people value or die", how awful.
