U2 going back to Rita's for Christmas

 

 

How many days until Christmas? Ask Bono. He clearly has it on his mind. U2 have just booked their yuletide bash for Cafe H, the Mediterranean restaurant, in Dublin's Grand Canal Plaza, owned by Rita Crosbie, Harry's wife.

 

Well -- they did have it there last year. I bumped into lovely Rita last weekend en route to the Joan Armatrading concert in Vicar Street (which hubby Harry owns and is presently extending).

 

The gifted Bono did a large gonzo-drawing of his late father, Bob Hewson, which he gave to Rita two weeks ago to hang in Cafe H, where there are also three submarines, dedicated to Gerry Ryan, hanging above diners.

 

Harry told me the submarines are his way of remembering how he and Gerry used to watch old war movies -- invariably involving submarines -- in Crosbie's nearby house on the waterfront once a month. Crosbie, who gets his OBE from the Queen on October 18, added that, on Thursday, British Ambassador Dominick Chilcott is coming into the restaurant to unveil a large chandelier made of flowers by the esteemed Jenny Murphy, who won gold for her floral display at this year's Chelsea Flower Show.

Or I've just got the worst case of deja vu ever :blink:
