Musical career
Corr first took guitar lessons in his hometown of Dundalk, a large industrial town in north Leinster. His friend Anthony Boyle showed the young Jim how to tune his guitar.Corr plays acoustic and electric guitar as well as piano, keyboard, accordion and singing background vocals. He has also had an active role in the production aspects of all of The Corrs' albums to date, working with David Foster and Olle Romo on two separate albums.
Charity work and recognition
The Corr siblings were appointed as honorary MBEs in 2005 by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, in recognition of their musical talents and also their charitable work which raised money for Freeman Hospital in Newcastle (where their mother was treated), victims of the Omagh Bombing, The Prince's Trust, and other charities.
Jim and his sisters were also involved in the Live 8 series of concerts, performing at Edinburgh in mid-2005 alongside Bono and other acts such as Annie Lennox, Eddie Izzard and Bob Geldof. He also performed at Nelson Mandela's 46664 concert in South Africa, to help raise awareness of the growing AIDS epidemic in Africa.
Personal views
Corr is a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement and operates a website where he writes about the New World Order, including the notion that 11 September, 2001, was an inside job. At some point in September 2015, all conspiracy related content was removed from his site and the URL began to redirect to the main Corrs website. Following the death of Osama bin Laden in May 2011, Corr maintained that bin Laden had actually died 10 years earlier in 2001.
Personal life
Corr has a son, Brandon, with ex-fiancee Gayle Williamson, a former Miss Northern Ireland.
