The Corrs have released a new video of their song ‘Ellis Island’ performed live during Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall 2025.

Named after the island in New York Harbour which was once home the busiest immigration processing centre in the U.S., the song is a powerful anthem of migration – capturing both the hope of a better life and the pain of leaving home.

‘Ellis Island’ first appeared on the band’s 2015 album ‘White Light’.

Following dates in Asia and Australia, Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall was an emotional first UK show of the year for the band.

Andrea Corr told the audience, “This place is very dear to our hearts. It was a completely pivotal moment in our career. We were a little bit younger than we are now. Our music was being put generally in the folk section in the archives of record stores. They didn’t really know where to put us, the combination of the traditional Irish and pop rock, the ‘prock’, if we’re going to go full ‘Spinal Tap’. That all changed because we capitalised on our Irishness…because it was St Patrick’s Day and it was broadcast on the BBC – that changed our trajectory. This place is where it happened so it’s really special to play here.

The charity, Teenage Cancer Trust – it’s incredible what they do, supporting these teenagers that are even more vulnerable than teenagers are already. Let’s blow the roof off tonight.”

This year’s Teenage Cancer Trust concert series took place from March 24-30 and included headline sets from The Corrs, The Who, James Arthur and Frank Carter and Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols. A night of comedy was hosted by Micky Flanagan, while Erased Tapes curated a bill topped by Penguin Cafe.
