U2 soundman Joe O’Herlihy has revealed that following a stint in
Dublin’s Windmill Lane Studios, the band are set to do some warm
weather recording overseas.

“I’m heading out to France to begin working with them on it,” Joe
tells hotpress.com. “They decided they needed a few rays while they
were working on the new songs. But things are in full swing working
towards a new album. We’re hoping to have something in the can come
September/October. We’ll know in the next couple of months how things
shape up but that’s what they’re aiming for. All things being equal
they will more than likely tour in 2009. They love it. It’s their life
and it’s what they do.”

Joe has more to say about U2, The Undertones and his beloved Cork in
the next issue of Hot Press, out on Thursday.
