    I saw her on the Apollo thing. She was quite funny. Don't know if I'd cope with a full concert though :unsure:

    Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody says his group reckon they’ve been very lucky to have fellow rock band U2 take “us under their wings”.

     

    The Take Back The City hitmakers have been opening for the Irish group on their 360˚ Tour – which comes to a close on Saturday in Canadian city Moncton at the Magnetic Hill Music Festival – with Gary saying that it has been a wonderful learning experience for Snow Patrol because the veteran band possess such great knowledge of the music business but still somehow hang on to their passion.

     

    The 35-year-old talked with Absolute Radio’s Vicki Bright about the Dublin rockers, saying that “all of the group – Bono, too – are music lovers, first and foremost”.

     

    Gary added that U2 “have an absolutely voracious appetite for music”, which he finds incredible following “their many years at it” and the fact they are still “hungry to compete against younger bands – bands that are just coming out”.

     

    The guitarist and singer is also in awe of U2’s undying enthusiasm to remain at the top of their game, stating that “they want to compete, they want to be relevant, they want to kick ass, but their love of music is kind of overwhelming – they have a great respect for people in bands”.

     

    But Gary is particularly astonished that U2 – who are The Edge, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr and Adam Clayton – have spent so much time with Snow Patrol, pointing out that hasn’t always been the case with other groups they have been on tour with.

     

    He said that, while “sometimes you are lucky to get a word out of a band that you’re playing with…U2 have taken us under their wings, and they’re big wings to be taken under, I have to say, but you learn an awful lot in there”.
