I am not a huge fan of the Celtic Tiger; I was so glad that you could see people being prosperous, that you didn’t see people begging, that the city started looking good, that people had jobs. But it was almost like if you have such a hard time for so long, then you turn around and give a kid a check for a million quid, they’re going to go nuts. And we went a bit nuts, we went up our ass.

I think a lot of kids do dream in their own way, except 25, 30 years later legend happens because some of us have become quite well known. So the myth becomes magical. So I tend to sort of see it very practical for me. When I go out for a drink, Bono can buy the pints because he has more money than me. We’re the same guys, do you know what I mean.

My real name isn’t Gavin. I was given Gavin Friday by my friends. I’m christened Fionan Hanvey, which is Gaelic and there is no actual English translation. I hated it as a kid but as I grew up I sort of went, “Now I like it.”

We became friends in Dublin through music and we had real names, Fionan Hanvey and Derek Rowan – what a dreadful name. And Paul Hewson. We gave each other nicknames just the way most kids do, but the nicknames had more to do with how we physically looked or our essence and I had quite square features as a young kid. I was called Wavin for awhile, but I’m a bit softer – I’m a little softer than a surge pipe so they changed that to Gavin. I didn’t chose it, it was Bono and Guggi who gave it to me.

We had similar interests with Derek Rowan and Paul Hewson; it sounds really pretentious at 12, 13 year old kids were like into art and poetry, but we were. We weren’t into football, we were into making music or being into music and painting and stuff like that. And we called this sort of little gang Lypton Village and we made up imaginary games and this is one day we’ll form bands and one day we’ll make movies and one day we’ll do this and one day we’ll do that. A lot of kids do this in their own way, except 25, 30 years later legend happens because some of us have become quite well known.
