Bono and the boys were recently spotted along the promenade at Bray beach and according to reports they were recording footage for an upcoming video.

It’s not everyday that you get to see (and hear) four of the biggest names in rock music out and about rubbing shoulders with us ‘normal folk’, but that’s exactly what happened in Bray recently as U2 were spotted recording at the beachfront.

Twitter user Alex Schweigert managed to capture some pics and videos of the lads and he’s been kind enough to let us use them.

The video below features the lads singing and dancing on the beach while singing their 1988 classic ‘Desire’, but be warned, it sounds like a few awl lads singing 50-yards away on a windy beach (which is exactly what it is).

Reports suggest the lads were out in Bray recording footage for the 25th anniversary of the Rattle and Hum album, but that has yet to be verified. Until then, here’s a better listen to ‘Desire’.
