When Depeche Mode performed at Ulster Hall in Belfast in 1983, Brian McDonnell didn't just go to the gig and listen to their music.
He threw a roll of film onto the stage with a note attached, asking the band to take a few photos and send them back to him.
Unbelievably, the band did just that.
Now, nearly 40 years later, the photos have resurfaced after Brian's sister, Anne McDonnell-Lawrence, shared them, and the story behind them, with the Facebook group Belfast Concert Photographs of the 1980s.
Unique Depeche Mode images show both posed and candid moments from the band members in this which appears to be a dressing room.
