You can emulate U2, musicians told

The kind of small beginnings that U2 enjoyed in their own school could yet lead to fame for Ireland’s budding musicians, the Edge predicts.

The Dublin group’s guitarist recounted yesterday how they started out using a small practice room at their own second-level school, little knowing they would become the world’s biggest music act.

They now hope that their support for music lessons will give more young people the same opportunities.
