A Celebration!!!

On 23rd,U2 had their traditional Christmas party with special guests, friends and staff. This year the members of Coldplay and Andrea Corrs were invited, plus friend Gavin Friday who is a classical figure in U2´s parties.
I imagine Chris Martin must have been thrilled to be in the party as he is a massive fan of the band, claiming that they were the "new U2" once, he then confessed that they took advantage of the fact that U2 were "on holiday" during 2008 to reign for a while. Beware ,Chris! Bono has said that 2009 will be "their year".
The party took place in Bentleys Oyster Bar & Grill in Dublin.

In the pictures we can see the arrival of The Edge and Bono and his wife Ali, unfortunately Adam and Larry were nowhere to be seen. We hope they were already inside, hidden from the papparazi!!

Meanwhile all fans are waiting for March and the release of "No Line on the Horizon", U2.com gives the opportunity to download for free the band's cover of Greg Lake’s “I Believe In Father Christmas” but only for a week. So hurry up and enjoy the song while we wait for more to come!!!
