11 O’Clock Tick Tock Irish Dates
11 O’clock Tick Tock Irish Dates
U2 play a few 11 O’clock Tick Tock Irish dates, before embarking on their first nationwide tour of the England. The Myster Men, another Dublin band, their founder Frank Kearns, had been at school with the members of U2. As 11 O’clock Tick Tock was their new single, U2 used this as the opening song of their set and also in the encore. Many thanks to Frank for his help with this page. Frank currently runs the Irish School Of Rock
