BONO has revealed U2′s historic peace process gig at Belfast’sWaterfront Hall was the highlight of their career.In a new documentary Bono said he loved the fact that people got behind the peace process by voting yes in the referendum.He added: “It’s one of our proudest moments in the sense that this one evening, I think, definitely had a serious knock-on effect.”It stole the headlines for two or three days just when it seemed the wave against the referendum was growing.
“At the gig Bono held the hands of David Trimble and John Hume in the air in a symbol of hope.The Edge said: “To have those two on the stage, I felt afterwards this had been a really important watershed. “The mood was so positive but everyone knew the referendum was in the balance and it could have gone either way.” The documentary is on BBC Radio Ulster at 11am on May 17.
