The tribute night for the Irish band U2 at a city pub became a big hit as musicians came to share the stage together. Gabu, Adil Rashid, Kaustav Banerjee, Nabarun Bose, Sandipan Parial, Somodeep Sengupta, Nikhil Sen, Dipayan Ganguly and others performed a number of U2 hits. The revellers crooned along as they performed songs like Where the streets have no name and With or without you. “It was an honest effort to sound similar to the Irish band. This turned into a journey of rediscovering our love for U2,” said vocalist Somodeep. Gabu, who sang Hold me, thrill me, kill me, kiss me, a popular number from the Irish rockers, said, “U2 has been an integral part of my formative years. It is one of my favourite bands. It was obviously very special for me to be a part of this tribute.”

Party lovers unite over music


Who can miss a rocking event like this? No one, especially if you are a music lover. Several musicians joined in to celebrate the night with good music. “This is my last night in the city. My husband and I will be going back to the US. What could be a better place to hang out?” said Rimita, who came with her husband Abhishek and other friends.
