Author Neil McCormick joins Andrew Collins to chat about the new film Killing Bono, which is based on his book about growing up with U2. Plus a soundtrack to make your knees tremble.

Andrew Collins sits in for Shaun Keaveny and takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for any music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Wild Beasts and Florence & The Machine delightfully wrap around your semi-conscious ears, along with the best of the greatest back catalogues on the planet; be they The Smiths, The Stones, The Clash or The Jam.

Guest wise, Wednesday sees Author Neil McCormick joins Andrew to chat about the new film 'Killing Bono' which is based on his book about growing up with U2. The film is based on Neil McCormick's memoir 'Killing Bono: I Was Bono's Doppelg盲nger' The storyline features Neil and Ivan McCormick, two Irish brothers who attempt to become rock stars but can only look on as their high school friends U2 become the biggest band in the world.
