The U2 manager Paul McGuinness, will inaugurate the exhibition "U2: 1978-81" in "Little Museum" in Dublin on 10 May. The exhibit is sponsored by Jagermeister, will feature 33 previously unpublished photographs of the early years of U2. This is the first time the collection will be displayed.
"U2: 1978-81" shows the beginnings of U2 as a set, but strong union, as future icons, but as teenagers having fun. The photographs were taken by Dubliner Patrick Brocklebank, who worked as a graphic artist and photographer in the 70s. "Because it always was in town," recalls Brocklebank, "and why are the same age, used to always see U2 there. The record shows the energy and ambition of a local band that would soon conquer the world."
Having fun at Trinity College or working in the Project, these images reveal the inevitable emergence of a band on the rise. Pots, weapons and paintings were used as accessories, and Bono proving himself in a scene like a thief. "Paul (Hewson, Bono) could not play guitar," recalls Brocklebank, "and was not a great singer, but he had something special: the arrogance and stage presence that would later U2 a household name."
The exhibition "U2: 1978-81" is available at the Little Museum in Dublin until September 2.
The The Irish Time published a series of five photographs that are part of the exhibition with comments about each one's own Patrick Brocklebank
