In 1962, he met Gerry Corr at a dance in the Pavilion ballroom in Blackrock, Dundalk (county Louth, Leinster, Ireland). He immortalized the meeting in verse, which he entitled 'Pavilion 62':
'Did angels convene/
To bring me to Jean/
Of wraparound eyes/
In passion of pink/
First dance/
Last dance/
We dance for ever.'
He said in an interview in 2002: "From the first time I met her, I loved her speaking voice. Later, when I heard her sing, my future was sealed! Happily, she liked me too." She sang "... an Irish song called Mo Shean Dun na Gall which she had learned at school in her native Donegal. Jean's is the voice of the Corrs".
Jean and Gerry were married on October 3, 1963 in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dundalk. They had 5 children: Jim Corr, Gerard Corr, Sharon Corr, Caroline Corr and Andrea Corr. Little Gerard died as a child due to a traffic accident.
Music was always to the fore throughout their life.

Joseph Tan was born in the large industrial town of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England, on the 12th December 1979 to a Turkish father and English mother. 2 years later it was discovered that he carried the rarest form of a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot.
At the age of two he had open heart surgery to have it repaired, an operation that carried a huge amount of risk due to it being a highly complex procedure to complete. Joseph would have died without it.
Joseph later had a second operation when he was 13 for the same reasons as his first, to try and amend the defects in his heart and lungs caused by the Tetralogy of Fallot.
Film-wise Joseph didn't start working until he was 24 although he'd been known to produce small, limited animations as a child before then on his Amiga. His first major work was "Gangsters In Love" (2006), a 75 minute crime movie based in a mythical city called "Paradise City". The film revolved around three main characters, Aiko Mana, Frank Lee and The Boss. All three had once been friends, until Frank betrayed The Boss. To counter this The Boss sent his greatest assassin Aiko to extract revenge - something she finds hard to do due to the fact that shes in love with him!
Since the release of "GiL" as its come to be known Joseph has dabbled in more than just feature films. He's produced over 20 short film and produced the odd music video or too as well. As for December 2007 he's completing work on his third feature, Vampire Mermaids From Mars.- Auriel Andrew was born in 1947 in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia.
