U2

Description

Portrait of U2. Photographer David Corio recalls ‘The photo of U2 (Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jnr.) was taken on the roof of the Country Club Hotel in Cork, Ireland on a cold February morning in 1980. This was my first job ‘abroad’ for the NME and I had never heard of U2. They did not yet have a record deal and this was one of their first interviews with a music paper. I went on tour with them from Cork through some small towns to Dublin. They played youth clubs and at some of the dates they supported a band that played the top 40 hits’.
