Jim is the oldest of the four Corrs, he's the big brother that started this in the first place. He's the one who wanted to form a band with his three sisters but at that time they were too young and he had to wait until they finished school. Meanwhile he was in a band and toured in Germany (good for him!). He plays the keyboards and the electric and acoustic guitar, accordion and piano. You could say that Jim is the backbone of the band. He's the one getting things done in the family. Unfortunately he's mostly in the shadow of his three gorgeous sisters but Jimbo here doesn't mind, because, as he says it's where he's most comfortable at.
'You don't seem to understand. I'm here to make the girls look good"
Not only he's a very talented musician (probably the most talented Corr around) but he's involved in producing, mixing and editing as well. He's the one taking care that everything is just as he and his sisters want it to be. Jim co-produced "Forgiven Not Forgotten' as well as some of the tracks on "Talk On Corners'. Does that make him the leader? No it doesn't. They decide everything together. Even if he's the only male in the band and the big brother he often says with a big smile on his face:
"Any fool knows you don't tell Irish girls what to do'
Jim is the one with a good joke in his pocket, saving it for the right time. During interviews he leaves the talking to his sisters and all he's waiting is the perfect moment to say something hilarious. Still, when it comes down to business the girls bow out and leave the scene all to their big brother.
He is one of the sweetest guys around the music industry and I wonder why the girls aren't fighting over him. He's not only cute but he is the protector type (though he doesn't admit it) and he takes really good care of his sisters. He's always there with a hug and I think it would be a privilege for anyone to have him for a big brother. But a big brother can afford to make fun of his younger sisters, can't he? Things like putting bottle caps on Andrea's head, or lifting Caroline up in the air, or making fun of Sharon's skirt (The Right Time Documentary), all these tiny things are part of Jim's great personality.
He's the brother who'll always be there and in my opinion The Corrs wouldn't be The Corrs without a male in the band.
From the fans
'A very good brother, an excellent guitarist and has a good sense of humor. Even though some people dislike him for being in the group, I'm still glad he's there to support his sisters. I also think that he deserves also the same treatment given to his sisters because if it hadn't been for him, the band wouldn't be formed and there would be no The Corrs in the first place."
"A great musician, with a lot of talent. Perhaps the "organizer" of the band, the one who keeps the boat floating. Keep it up!"
"The most talented musician in the band. He's just as beautiful as his sisters! He looks like the one who takes care of everyone, the baby-sitter. Cool guy!"
'Funny yet responsible and good natured."
"He is probably the brains behind The Corrs but is still not as beautiful as Andrea"
"Well, he seems like a great big brother, what more can one say about him.'
'Jim is GREAT, because he can play many instruments like Guitar, Keyboard, and Accordion."
"Very talented musician. Doesn't probably get as much attention as he deserves."
"He has got sexy eyes.....at concerts, anyway..."
"I really like this guy. He seems to be very interesting."
