{ The Edge and Bono: Wave of Sorrow. See also: Desire. }
U2’s singer and guitarist showed up at the Mencap Little Noise Sessions at the Union Chapel in Islington, North London on Friday night. They were special guests on a bill including Biffy Clyro and We Are Scientists.
The event was hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Jo Whiley who introduced the pair to the 300 lucky people attending the charity show.
Playing Stay, Desire and Angel of Harlem, Bono dedicated the latter to Michael Hutchence on the tenth anniversary of his death.
Then he told the crowd: “About 20 years ago we started a tune that we never finished. We’ve just finished it. Just don’t tell Larry or Adam that we’ve played it.”
They ended their short set with Wave of Sorrow – the same song featured in last week’s little video clip.
Organiser Mencap is the UK’s leading learning disability charity.
