'The show was part-concert, part-role play, part-stand-up comedy, part-tear-inducing narrative….'

'amazing storyteller, songwriter and singer...'

Finally, there's one other must-read story we've just added to U2.com - an exclusive interview with the brilliant actor and star of Peaky Blinders Cillian Murphy about Ionbha: The Empathy Book for Ireland … and how Edge got involved.

‘Empathy is like a muscle that needs to be exercised.'
