North Side Story. U2 in Dublin 1978-1983.

With a poster-map wandering in U2's Dublin.

When a bunch of young Dublin hopefuls played their first gig as Feedback way back in 1976, no one could have dreamed that they would go on to write their own chapter in the story of rock`n`roll
But where did they come from?
What was Ireland like when they first took up instruments in the suburbs of North Dublin?
Who were their music friends and contemporaries?
And what gave U2 staying power when other bands fell away?

North Side Story offers a vivid blow-by-blow account of the rise of U2, from their earliest schooldays right up to the release of Under A Blood Red Sky in 1983. All the original material from the back-pages of Hot Press is now complemented with new recollections from key players in the extraordinary history of the band.
North Side Story is the insiders`account of where Adam, Bono, Edge and Larry came from, a portrait of a band in the process of forging its own unique indentity.
