WINDMILL OF MY MIND
By Brian Rutherford

 

Windmill Lane WallWhen I was fourteen (about 1983), myself and a friend, who was a big U2 fan decided to walk downtown to have a look at the famous Windmill Lane Studios.

When we arrived, we saw a wall covered in U2 messages and graffiti from all over the world. We could also hear the song ‘Promenade’ from ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ album actually being played by the band inside!

After listening for a while, we made our way out, but just as we did, a figure appeared from the studio. Lo and behold it was Larry Mullen Jnr, who strolled over and gave us autographs. “How’s the new album going”? We managed to ask before he disappeared inside.

That was an unforgettable day for me and my mate.
