Des Broadberry?

[MissZooropa]

Anyone know who he is and if he was with U2 during this tour?

I heard his name for the first time today in a discussion on another U2 mailinglist I'm on. We discussed whether U2 gets help live from under stage. That they have prerecorded material is known but that someone actually is playing live is the discussion. This came up after watching the DVD where someone saw people playing keyboard and guitar from under the stage. Then someone found in U2 at the end of the world a note about this man, Des Broadberry and what he does.
Anyone knows anything about him?

I know his name and about his involvement with U2

I don't have any more information at hand though, but - no doubt - somebody else will

No, that's Stuart Morgan or something like that. It's not Des, that I know for sure.

Des was the keyboard technician on previous tours and in the sudio at times as well as helping sequence the sound at live shows, but there was inquiries about him playing some keyboard parts during Zoo Tv tour. I dont think he was on the third leg of Elevation Tour though.
