I am a big fan of Snow Patrol, so when I saw tickets to see them go on sale last November, I couldn’t resist!

My mum and brothers girlfriend are also big fans of them, so I got us tickets as a surprise for my mums birthday. It was a hard secret to keep from November to February!

I’d seen them in November 2006 and they were brilliant then, and I can safely say that the Snow Patrol live shows get better and better!

The entire show was awesome from the lights, to the atmosphere – not to mention of course the music!

They did a mix of old and new tracks covering Final Straw, Eyes Open and A Hundred Million Suns, which made me a happy lady as I love all 3 albums and have them all. After hearing the songs performed live it just makes me love them more.

The highlight of the evening for me was seeing Gary Lightbody do an acoustic version of Run. It was so beautiful and it haunting it could make you weep. (Boo hiss to all the fans of the Leona Lewis version. You should be ashamed of yourselves! It just doesn’t come close to the original and lacks all of the feeling).

The entire show was amazing from start to finish, the video they played during The Lightening Strike was brilliant and slightly hypnotic and yes – I will be going to their next tour. I’m hooked!


Snow Patrol + live show = worth every penny and the 2 ½ hour drive!
