Early U2 promo shot by David Corio
Early U2 promo shot by photographer David Corio taken in Cork, Ireland in February 1980. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Photographer notes: This is U2 on the roof of the Cork Country Club Hotel before they had landed a lasting record deal. This was my first job abroad for NME and I was very excited. However U2 were clean-living boys who drank in moderation and my visions of rocking parties evaporated rapidly. Bono hero-worshipped David Bowie and often referred to him in conversation. Even then the 19-year-old lead singer was very vocal about his opinions and was the band’s mouthpiece.
