Recently, well probably about a year now, I've become quite an avid user of Twitter @markmews (sometimes you need your stalking in 140 characters or less).
So the other night I was all cosied up for a wee Saturday night in, you know that craic, (you do don't you?) and I just randomly fired up twitter on the aul HTC.
@snowpatrolband had tweeted they were gonna be sound checking at the City Hall in Belfast at 9pm so c'mon down.
I ,just as habit has it, read it out to those present (namely Jean, Amy and Ben.) Next thing I know I'm (as in we're) standing outside the City Hall in Belfast happed up to the 9s against the elements.
Also along the way we picked up some randomer (namely Andrew Reid, my bro).
So anyway we wait, next thing ya know the SP lad are out sound checking to what some have said was close to 5000 peeps.
Absolutely loved it.
Something about the music, the setting, the feel, that has recently drawn me to the Snow Patrol sound.
and if i was the public confessing type I may just divulge that after almost 30 years of U2 a the top I may now have a new favourite band
that's probably bout all i got to say.....
oh!!! Gary Lightbody smiles ALOT!!!!
here's some pics...the aforementioned randomer bro took....
