More from Drummer Seeks Musicians: The Making of U2
U2's rise begins in earnest with a television appearance, a talent contest win and the arrival of manager Paul McGuinness. But underpinning their success lies a deeper story of friendship, faith and loss.
Ireland in the 1970s was a country in transition. At Mount Temple Comprehensive, Paul ‘Bono’ Hewson, Larry Mullen jr, Adam Clayton, Dave ‘The Edge’ Evans and his older brother Dick found freedom through music, friendship and creativity. In this episode the band, then called Feedback, experiment with a line-up that includes two female backing singers who didn't think much of the band.
It is 50 years this month since 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullen stuck a note on a school noticeboard looking for fellow musicians to form a band. That note led to U2.
A note on a school noticeboard. Four teenagers. One extraordinary story. In this three-part podcast series, Róisín Ingle traces the making of U2 through interviews with their classmates, teachers, friends and band members. From Mount Temple Comprehensive on Dublin's northside to the world stage, this is the story of how U2 began.
Malcolm Macarthur is convicted but the scandal and conspiracy theories continues.
