From 14th April Proud Galleries in Camden, London, is putting on a photographic exhibition called U2: The Early Years. This is a never-before-seen show focusing on the band from their interception up until the filming of Rattle & Hum. The exhibition is shot by award-winning photographer Colm Henry, who met the band whilst he was working on Ireland’s Hot Press magazine and went on to win the their trust and photograph them regularly in the subsequent years. This is the first time in the world this show will be seen so it is going to be of great interest to U2 fans.
