Synopsis

Where the Streets Have 2 Names features hundreds of previously unpublished photographs of U2 (by award-winning photographer Patrick Brocklebank) from the band's very early days before they became the global phenomenon we know today. The book includes numerous untold stories about the band members and other groups who were part of Dublin's music scene from that time, including the Boomtown Rats, the Virgin Prunes, the Blades and the Black Catholics (who made a habit of disrupting U2 gigs), and focuses on artists, such as Guggi, who began to make their mark at that time.

About this title

Review:

"Where the Streets Have Two Names" by Patrick Brocklebank and Sinead Molony is a fascinating account and history of the music scene in Dublin in the 1970's and 1980's. U2 Band was at its beginning and its peak during these years and the songs were about the places and streets around them, so that them are immortalized with U2 names, but familiar to all who journey there. This history has many wonderful stories about U2 and other musicians of that period and especially in and around Dublin and their other performance venues. If you love music, you gotta read this book!
