U2 boys surprise Christmas shoppers
Pedestrians on Grafton Street were surprised to find an extra buzz of excitement amid the usual lunchtime crowds due to the surprise presence of Bono and the boys in the area. Hundreds of Christmas shoppers joined a few dedicated fans who had learnt of the group’s planned visit to the Gaiety Theatre.
The numbers hoping to catch a glimpse of U2 swelled after The Edge was first to arrive. Although accompanied by security personnel, the guitarist stopped briefly to sign a couple of autographs for fans.
