Really enjoyed it. So much to see, learn and relish. Brought back great memories of seeing Lizzy at Reading Festival in the 70s. Anto was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and passionate about music. Letting me play the drums in the U2 room was a real bonus! Thanks Anto. Did the tour with my daughter who loved it too. The whole experience has been lovingly crafted and curated to tell the wonderful story of Irish rock and roll. Wonderful and thoroughly recommended.
Absolutely mega as a U2 fan
