All year Ive been saying go see Snow Patrol at Glastonbury, theyll be brilliant and having seen them at Isle Of Wight I knew they would be. So with a beer in hand and a smile on my face I led our party to the front of the throng and prepared to enjoy.
Sure enough the smooth talking Irish lead Gary Lightbody emerges smiling and in a yellow T-shirt he thanks us for coming, telling us hes never been to Glastonbury and adding that its the biggest audience hes ever played to.
Then they ease into a fistful of tracks from the last album Final Straw and Im so happy. Its a sing and groove-athon as everybody knows all the words and at times the wind drowns out the sound but who cares, we sing so loudly we could probably carry the songs on our own.
All too soon Run appears and its lighters in the air to the chorus of Light Up, Light Up and just as I predicted it is the seminal Glasto moment for me. We sing our hearts out and the sun shines, he jokes about the things on poles, asking what the deal is with Spiderman and dedicates tracks to Elbow and we love them to bits.
All too soon its over but much like Coldplay before them weve taken Snow Patrol to our hearts and theyll be back again. Ill tell you now itll hopefully be an evening slot on the Pyramid and Ill be right beside you, there!
