Drummer Seeks Musicians, part three: Sing a New Song

U2's rise begins in earnest with a television appearance, a talent contest win and the arrival of manager Paul McGuinness. But underpinning their success lies a deeper story of friendship, faith and loss. In the final episode Róisín Ingle speaks to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr and asks the question at the heart of this series - not just how U2 came together, but how they have managed to stay and play together for the past fifty years. Story Lines is the home of audio storytelling from The Irish Times. Drummer Seeks Musicians: The Making of U2 is presented, written, researched and produced by Róisín Ingle. Editing by Rob Sutton. Additional production by Suzanne Brennan. The podcast is dedicated to Donald Moxham. Thanks to the staff at Mount Temple, to U2 and to everyone who took part in the podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Drummer Seeks Musicians, part one: The Note

It is 50 years this month since 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullen stuck a note on a school noticeboard looking for fellow musicians to form a band. That note led to U2. In this three-part podcast series to mark the 50th anniversary, Róisín Ingle traces the formation of the band in a school on the northside of Dublin through interviews with their classmates, teachers, friends, family and band members. Why did U2 happen in Mount Temple? And how are Bono, Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton still friends and still making music together fifty years later? Drummer Seeks Musicians is a remarkable origin story, told by the people who were there from the very beginning. From Mount Temple Comprehensive to the world stage, this is the story of how U2 began. Episode one goes back to the radical experiment that was Mount Temple Comprehensive School on Dublin’s northside in 1976, where fifty years ago 14-year-old Larry Mullen pinned a note on the school bulletin board. That note brought together Larry, Adam Clayton, Dave ‘The Edge’ Evans and Paul ‘Bono’ Hewson of U2, four teenagers who were destined to become one of the world's biggest bands. Róisín talks to the people who were there - the ones who nearly made the band, the teachers who supported them and the classmates who watched it happen. We hear about the architect of a remarkable school and discover the back stories of Paul 'Bono' Hewson and Larry Mullen Jr. Story Lines is the home of audio storytelling from The Irish Times.
