The singer was spotted enjoying a drink with band-member The Edge in Lillie's Bordello on Grafton Street. They were joined by pals including artist Guggi and designer John Rocha. Humanitarian Bono is expected to be a regular sight around Dublin over the next two weeks as he celebrates the festival in his home town.

There's no word yet on whether he will be partaking in his annual busking session, but he is due to head to Leopardstown on Stephen's Day.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
