- Jean Bell was born in Lifford, county Donegal on the 8th February 1942.
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. She, together with his dear husband founded 'The Sound Affair' in the 1970's and they were to play together in a variety of venues throughout Co Louth for many years. Not surprisingly, this love of music filtered down to their children with the inevitable consequence - The Corrs.
Sadly, Jean died in the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, on 24 November 1999 from a rare lung condition, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. - Actor
