Early U2 promo shot by David Corio
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.
