Jim Corr's flying visit 28.06.09

MUSICIAN Jim Corr is planning a return to "beautiful Buncrana" after a recent flying visit to see a local acupuncturist and martial arts expert.
The Corrs' guitarist was in town for a consultation with Kim McMenamin of the Natural Health Centre at Millfield. Kim and Jim's meeting came about after the local Chinese medicine practitioner sent the Louth-born songwriter some articles on alternative health remedies.
The musician caused more than a few heads to turn when he landed his Robinson R44 Raven 2 helicopter in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel car park where he also stayed for the night. Kim says the famous visitor was stunned by the beautiful scenery as he flew over Fahan Hill en route from Belfast.
"Jim was also delighted with 
the great hospitality afforded to him by the staff at the Gateway hotel and especially for accommodating his helicopter. He also thanked the Gardai for keeping an eye on it," said Kim. During his flying visit, Corr also commented on a very enjoyable meal at the Beach House restaurant at Buncrana pier. He is now already planning his return trip, said Kim.
"He hopes to come back to the area soon for follow up treatments as well as maybe some private martial arts lessons."
