I bought Gemma two tickets to see Snow Patrol live at the o2 Arena in London for Christmas. They far exceeded my expectations last night.

The supporting bands, Animal Kingdom and Fanfarlo, were excellent but it wasn’t until Snow Patrol walked onto the stage that the 20,000 strong crowd really raised the roof.

Snow Patrols original rendition of ‘Run’ far exceeds the version performed by Leona Lewis and they proved this last night. When the band finished the song the crowd went crazy and what seemed like an eternity of applause, whistling and screaming ensued. Lead singer Gary Lightbody seemed genuinely astounded and speechless and even began to cry on stage…

This is raw talent the likes of which I have never heard before. If ever you get an opportunity to see Snow Patrol live you should take it! Last nights concert was their last in the UK until August when they perform at the V Festival, I have my tickets, make sure you get yours.
