His sisters may be known as the most beautiful Irish girls in pop but Jim Corr is far from envious.
He reckons he's the one who gets the most fun - because everyone's far too much in awe of Sharon, Andrea and Caroline, fellow members of the chart-toppers The Corrs.

"I'm the one who ends up meeting people and going to all the showbiz parties," he says.
Despite having success around the world with their debut album, 'Forgiven, Not Forgotten', the band - who formed eight years ago in Dublin - failed to crack the British charts until this year. Now with sell-out gigs at the Albert Hall
and their second album, 'Talk On Corners' making Number 1, Britain is going Corr-Crazy!
And it's not just the Celtic melodies that have caught the imagination - it's the beautiful sisters too.
"It's hard for me to consider them as sex symbols," says Jim. To me they're just my sisters. I'm proud to be the fella in the background and it wouldn't really make sense to put my picture on the records. I'm not stupid - I know what's
eye-catching."
Although he's the big brother, Jim says ge's definitely not the boss.
"Sure, when we were growing up I suppose I had a bit of influence, but not any more."
"We treat everything as a group decision - any fool knows you don't tell Irish girls what to do!"
