Bono - Chris

Chris has been a huge fan of U2 ever since buying his first U2 album ‘The Joshua Tree’ back in the early 90’s and listening to Bono’s ripping vocals on songs like ‘With Or Without You’.

He has been involved in the music industry since his late teens, either behind the scenes with p.a. and lighting, or being on the road with his own band. In due course he opened up his own rehearsal and recording studios in Coventry, but still never came into his element until following his heart and doing what he enjoyed the most - being part of a U2 tribute.

In 2013 he joined up with the long-time running ‘Rattle and Hum,’ a U2 tribute band based in the North, and the band took off from the word go, being quoted by some as ‘the best U2 tribute they’d ever seen!’

But over the years that passed, the long distances between band members, together with differing opinions on the band’s direction, led Chris to take the very difficult decision to go his own way and seek a fresh start.  

Finally, still ever in pursuit of his dream of setting up the most authentic sounding and mind grabbing show possible, he decided to take the reins and create a band from scratch, the band that was to become ‘The U2 Experience’…. and, with the help of his new fellow band mates, deliver the most mind-blowing show for their audiences near and far.   

Adam - Paul

The Edge - John

U2 became one of John’s favourite bands from an impressionable age while he was learning to play the guitar and, inevitably, they became one of his biggest influences.

Playing in original and covers bands over the past fifteen years, including more recently a Jimi Hendrix tribute band, John has now returned to his roots.

After having a chat with Chris (Bono) one day and discovering that he was looking for musicians to form a U2 tribute band, John didn’t waste any time in expressing interest in being the lucky soul to play through the brilliantly fine-tuned and meticulously accurate guitar rig that Chris had painstakingly assembled. “It’s even better that the real thing,” John was once quoted as saying!

Being a part of The U2 Experience puts John firmly in his element, with his love for rocking out with a massive sound and putting on a spectacular show for the audience.

Larry - Jon

It was “all because of U2” that Jonny P took up the drums. At the age of fifteen he heard his first U2 song and decided that he wanted to play drums, and play them like Larry Mullen Jnr! By the age of eighteen he was playing in a rock standards covers band, and thereafter in an outfit playing original material. However, the Larry influence never left him, especially as U2 had become his favourite band of all time.

A long break from drumming came to an end during lockdown when, with time on his hands, Jonny P reached for the sticks once more and dusted off the kit. Eventually he spotted an advert for “Larry Mullen wanted” and was there like a shot. With U2 running through his veins and out into his sticks, Jonny P gives The U2 Experience its precise and thunderous heartbeat.
