Always a delight to hear Gary interviewed, such a witty guy. Great to see a band who are actually excited to be onstage; you can really tell they enjoy what they're doing. I've seen Oasis twice this summer and one gig was a carbon copy of the other. Liam just glares at the crowd and even snarls at the same place. They could use some joy. Snow Patrol lights up the night. "Champagne Supernova" and "Wonderwall" were great choices to cap off an amazing set. Cheers!

Snow Patrol were brilliant! they deserved to be headliners

What a totally grounded guy. Notice the way he takes his shades of when the cameras are on him, most artists of his caliber would be puttin the shades on for the cameras or have them on 24/7. He is a great ambassador for his home country norn iron.

Great interview!:) Funny he got asked about his broken rib... I've been at that concert and I'm really SO glad he didn't pull out because of his accident! Such a brave guy indeed. :)
