An article about old times Christmases in Ireland (Rolling back the Christmases) reminds us of U2´s first time in England , "hoping to crack London".
"...Just before Christmas in 1979, a young Dublin band billed as The U2s arrived in England.
They were hoping to crack London.
"I want to replace the bands in the charts now, because I think we're better'' said the precocious lead singer, known as Bono Vox. (It had to be Bono!!!)
However, only nine paying punters turned up in Islington to watch them..."
To round the memories off, a rare video of U2 playing John Lennon Cover
"So this is Christmas"on a TV Show.(probably mid-80´s, after the release of The Joshua Tree)
