Set to run over lead singer Bono’s 50th birthday, this exhibition charts the group’s beginning from their first gigs and photo-shoots, up until the filming of Rattle & Hum.
A freelance photographer working on emerging Irish music magazine Hot Press, Colm Henry came across a young and unsigned U2 when they were featured in the publication. Gaining the band’s trust Henry was asked to photograph them on a regular basis, and was afforded a unique insight as they grew from an enthusiastic local band into one of the world’s most recongnised names in music.
Henry says: “We were both learning together really, honing our trades. I was just starting out and so were they. I wasn’t a pushy kind of person, I think they appreciated that. They trusted me to get a good shot.”
Presenting a cross section of unseen work, this specially selected exhibition is set to shine new light on a band that continues to take the world by storm.
