Minor Detail were an Irish new wave and synthpop band from Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland.
Career
[edit]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 one of the first Irish bands 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.
