U2

U2 are my second favourite band.

They were formed in 1978 by drummer Larry Mullen and consist of Adam Clayton (bass), The Edge (guitar) and Bono (vocals). They were all students at Dublin's Mount Temple School.

'It was tough at times. There were dark moments. We chose to record in Dublin so you have to go home, deal with that leak in your roof as well. Danny thought it was interfering with making the record' Larry on All that You cant leave Behind

'From the beginning we were excited when music met the real world, and, going into this, we reckoned that people aren't buying rock records any more because of this progressive rock lurgy, which is on the rise, where the single has been forgotten. In our heads we've written 11 singles for this record. '

Bono

U2 has recorded with the likes of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Bono also recorded the duet "I've Got You Under My Skin" with Frank Sinatra in 1993. U2 have won countless awards, including Best International Act at last years Grammys, and more recently picked up Best Band and Best Male singer for Bono at the Irish Music Awards held here in Belfast.

These city lights, They shine as silver and gold, dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal.
