This was Dave Moloney’s 21st birthday, he recalls “I had a few drinks before I even arrived at McGonagle’s, I was smashed by the time we went on”. “I also remember coming down stairs after being told by various people that he should have a listen to the support band as they were very good, they were playing the Tom Robinson number 2, 4, 6, 8 Motorway. I was trying to chat up a bird at the time, so going down stairs to listen to U2 was not the first thing on my mind”.
In 1979
