Snow Patrol are such celebrated stalwarts of the Northern Irish music scene these days that they now have their very own plaque in the heart of the city of Belfast! Rigsy spoke to Gary Lightbody and Jonny Quinn from the band about the early days, and looked ahead to the big gig at Ward Park in June 2010 and the exciting times ahead for the bands who are part of the current local music scene.
