Sightings of Bono, the film short, is set to be released as a DVD bonus track with a new 'Greatest Irish Bands' album.

The compilation album opens with U2's 'Where the Streets Have No Name', closes with 'Brown Eyed Girl' from Van Morrison and stops off at Thin Lizzy, the Boomtown Rats, Stiff Little Fingers and a clutch of other great Irish acts along the way.
