U2 memorabilia up for grabs at Belfast charity shop

Anyone in Dublin needing a road trip?

Maggie’s mother Brigid worked as a book-keeper for the band for much of their early career up until the late 1990s, and is listed among the credits for their bestselling albums The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby.

One of Brigid’s last wishes before she died 12 years ago was to leave her U2 collection to charity.

“She was like a mother to them,” said daughter Maggie.

Brigid Mooney was a book-keeper at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin, where U2 recorded their early albums, before working exclusively for the band for more than a decade. She only retired from the role at 73 – and was still attending U2 concerts up until then.

I'd be dancing at 73 if I could get my mitts on some of that merch!
