Wellllllll.... Who made it down to the record breaking night? ive heard figures of 43-48000 fans turned up?
My good buddy bought me a ticket in return for driving him down and returning him home after, as 30000 people took public trasport apparently - it was a total gift getting parked and there was a £5 reserved parking service too which was far too much of a bargain not to take up!

we were there in time to see Band of horses, the totally utterly amazing Lisa Hannigan, and none other than SP themselves!

Ill be honest here - im a hiphop/dance fan... Snow patrol generally dont figureon my radar, im familiar with their stuff, but its never been my first choice to play while chillaxing in the house, but seriously WOW
what a performance! Lightbody gave it everything, including dedicating a song to his little 3 year old niece who was there, and also 'run' to his mum and dad for never giving up on him. When the crowd took over on Run, he stopped singing and said thankyou to the crowd for singing their hearts out. Ive no voice today.
I went in order to hear Lisa Hannigan, and boy she didnt dissappoint!

I managed to get these on my blackberry from about 20 odd foot from the stage :D

Wasnt there but saw them in the o2 dublin last year and they were amazing. Will definately go see them again soon. For anyone that wasnt there like me you can catch the gig on BBC1 on Wednesday night at 11.15. Says part one of two but not sure when second part is on. It should be a cracker according to reports.
