Yeah! to the equally bad and exclamatory Shook Up!) and their lineup evolves, the McCormick brothers fail to take off and keep playing in bars and small venues. Neil, however, doesn’t relay the invitation so he can keep Ivan in his own band, in which Neil sings lead vocals. Neil’s classmate Paul Hewson, who would later rename himself Bono, is impressed with Ivan’s guitar playing and extends an offer, through Neil, to let Ivan join his band, the Hype. Action then rolls back 11 years to a happier, more innocent time when Neil and his brother, Ivan (Sheehan), were just Dublin schoolboys messing around with instruments. Attention-grabbing 1987-set prologue sees crazed musician Neil McCormick (Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian in the “Chronicles of Narnia” franchise) racing to an appearance by U2 with the intention of shooting lead singer Bono (Martin McCann). ![]()

That appears to run counter to the reality in Saskatchewan, which experienced a surge in economic growth last year after three years of decline that coincided with Premier Scott Moe assuming the top job. Plus the resource boom did nothing to dampen economic pessimism in Saskatchewan, if you believe a March survey of online panelists by Angus Reid, which showed the province leading the nation with the grimmest financial outlook.
