 U2

The four members (Bono=Paul Hewson/singer, The Edge=David Evans/guitar, Adam

Clayton/bass guitar, Larry Mullen/drums) of the most famous Irish rock band were school-
friends in Dublin during the early ’70s. Their first concerts at the end of that decade were very
small. Once they had only 9 people at their concert.

world. They sing about really serious problems: terrorism, wars, political fights, homeless
people and hungry children, but sometimes they also write songs about love and their friends.
They have won so many prizes: Grammy Awards, Music Television Awards etc.
Their albums and CDs have made them one of the best-loved bands in the world. Today they
still live in Ireland, where they have their own studio. ‘The Joshua album’ came out in March
