Also on that tour a little Welsh band called the Alarm were on the road with Bono and the boys ...
The two bands became good friends and the Alarm got other support slots in the UK and USA in the 80's...
Why well they came from the same background of a celtic country, and the lyrical contents often covered similar subjects with passion and drive ..
Well until U2 hit the road in the US next year and you want some rock and roll with heart and integrity why not go see the Alarm in November ..
