I met Cathal in a Barcelona pub the night before the opening 360 Tour show and a quite sober Irish man and a rather drunken English man had a bit of chat about the upcoming shows and how me must meet up at (my) next shows in Zagreb. Cathal had to leave the bar relatively early to wash his hair or something and on his departure he thrust into my hands a book.
Its very rare that I visit this section of Interference but during a particularly boring day at work – I did - and found that this little gem of a book was not mentioned anywhere.
I know Cathal is a bit shy when it comes to selling his book (he loves giving it away mind) so in a bit of shameless promotion I have decided to do a little write up of it. Hope you don’t mind Cathal – and if you do, tough!
‘MeandU2’ is an account of Cathals, at times interesting, personal life set to the backdrop of his love affair with U2s music.
For all you fans who have ever disliked an album, loved a single, struggled to get a ticket, camped outside an arena, worn out favourite videotapes or simply just sometimes get lost in the music, this book will have at least one reference that will get you saying ‘That could have been me!’ and yes, it could have been you (or me).
If you buy ‘Me and U2’ expecting some sort of insider insight into the bands life and thoughts you may well be disappointed. If however you want to read a fans account of his life enriched by a soundtrack of U2s music you may well find yourself really enjoying this book!
Shameless plug no.2 heres his website Me And U2 .
USA he’s coming to a stadium near you soon. Say ‘Hello’ and you never know you may be in the follow up!
Ps. Cathal if you ever want to use my Bono Prague story my lawyers are watching
