ALL CAPs references

I believe that they should be changed to normal text. Instead of boldly doing so, I'm checking here first.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 17:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am going to do it. A user has been adding them for the past few days. I plan to properly format the references using inline citations. The job will take time, but I'm on it. I will get to it sooner or later. Suede67 (talk) 17:47, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

British or Scottish or N. Irish

based in Scotland with member from Northern Ireland and Scotland, surely that makes them British not just a northern Irish, and really I'm sure the only people changing it are Northern Irish nationalists who change everything--86.136.245.67 (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

But the band themselves call them Northern Irish, and not Scottish, that what the reference is for. Consider AC/DC. They're "Australian", even though the people who form it are English/Scottish, only the drummer being Australian born. The band consider themselves Australian, simple! Suede67 (talk) 15:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hope we can lay this to rest. The source is a BBC interview, which says: "Despite living in Glasgow for the past five years and having formed in Dundee, McClelland told BBC News Online that the band still and always will class Northern Ireland as home." Suede67 (talk) 01:33, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Gomez Whippin' Piccadilly

At the very beginning of the song "Warmer Climate" on the Eyes Open album, you can hear the song "Whippin' Piccadilly" by Gomez being played. Listen carefully though. I decided i better post it here because not many people might see it on Talk:Eyes Open. --213.83.125.225 (talk) 10:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Northern Irish

What the hell is Northern Irish,Northern Irish is not a nationality.The people of Northern Ireland either call themselves Irish or British with either passports.What is the point in referring to them as Northern Irish when there is no such international term?This is just more of the typical oudated sectarian nonsense from a group of people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.8.233 (talk) 13:02, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

People in the other 3 countries of Britain can be described as English, Scottish and Welsh - but people aren't merited in desribing themselves as Northern Irish? "Northern Irish" is a term that rose out of people's determination to leave behind the segregated "British/Irish" sociological nature of Northern Ireland. A lot of people now use it to describe themselves instead of British or Irish and it is considered a "Politically Correct" or "Politically Neutral" term. It is almost always officially accepted in the UK as a demonym or nationality. Keys767 (talk) 03:30, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I live in northern ireland and people either call themsleves brittish or irish. There's hardly anyone going around saying "I'm Northern Irish". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.187.148 (talk) 01:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I am Irish too, and I can confirm that people either call themsleves British or Irish. However, describing the bands nationality and describing where they come from are two different things, at least as far as it relates to people from Northern Ireland. In the same way as Scottish people can be referred to as British, so too can people from Northern Ireland. The difference is that a Northern Ireland Catholic might take offense at being referred to as British, even though his passport says he is British. Similarly, a Northern Ireland protestant might take offense to being called Irish, even though he lives on the Island of Ireland. The term "Northern Irish" therefore nicely points out that someone is geographically from Northern Ireland, without referring to which side of the age-old sectarian divide they fall on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.187.148 (talk) 01:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.200.27.20 (talk)

As a Northern Irishman, I can stand by the description of being Northern Irish. It's a term often heard by people who live in the suburbs and areas free from political segregation and the political symbolism that is common in the inner city estates, such as flags, murals, curb painting and security walls. Lightbody grew up in such an area where individual's political persuasions are held with much less importance than they would be in a distinctly Unionist or Nationalist designated area. In the 2011 census 29% of respondents stated Northern Irish as their nationality. Of these, 92% lived in areas regarded as non sectarian, usually but not exclusively above average income areas of relative but not high affluence. Being Northern Irish is quite common for people of Lghtbody's generation who grew up in such areas, other examples being Rory McIlroy and Christine Lampard, both of whom also describe themselves as Northern Irish. The term Northern Irish remains virtually unused in areas that remain strongly divided along sectarian lines. Captainbeecher (talk) 08:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Timeline Inaccuracy

Hi,

I was wondering if the creator of the timeline could possibly update it as I (Michael Morrison) was in the band with Gary and Mark through to December 1996, i.e. just over two years. For some reason I only show up as being in for about half a year. For the record, I can recall the last gig I played with the band being at a private 'toga party' in near Roseangle in Dundee; perhaps the most unusual gig I've ever done!. Very soon afterward however, I had a breakdown and had to leave both the University and the band.

Biography Snow Patrol ?

I have personal and professional history here. Iain Archer was one of the founding members and popularly acknowledged in the press and even on Wiki earlier pages, as a co-writer ......not just a touring member. The truth about the origins of the songs and the band name has not come out yet ( ie been decided by a court ). I know for a fact that the songs and the band name are the product of an obscure band in Australia, ( Lavish, Gold Coast, formed in 1992 ) whose bass player and co-writer is Iain Archers cousin, Brett Layton. Snow Patrol and earlier incarnations Polar Bear have their whole career in dispute and is alleged to be a matter of Fraud, Theft and Copyright Infringement. Also, sound engineer ( Crystal Newell )on the Coldplay/Snow Patrol tour of the States, witnessed Gary Lightbody and Chris Martin working on the song Chasing Cars, in hotel rooms, all across the States. I know for a fact Lavish passed on a uncompleted demo of the song ( it was 2min 10sec long ) and the phrase Chasing Cars was contained in a second chorus. It took Gary Lightbody nearly 10 years and a few different versions of the song and the help of Chris Martin, to finish it off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.231.43.97 (talk) 06:52, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

We can't really just take your word for it. You need proof. — foxj 08:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Foxj

As a matter of interest Fox what proof does he need

Olympics Concert 2012

Is it just entirely coincidental that a band managed by Mr. Mensch (husband of Louise Mensch, MP, and Olympics Committee Member) was selected to represent Ireland at this Olympics event? Does anyone have a shortlist of the other bands considered (if any, !>)?80.42.232.24 (talk) 01:55, 4 May 2012 (UTC)murkydepths80.42.232.24 (talk) 01:55, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect Band Member

Under past band members, Tom Simpson is listed. However, the link leads to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Simpson who died in 1967. I believe that a different Tom Simpson is intended? 59.101.38.143 (talk) 11:33, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I've removed the link - doesn't look like he has an article. — foxj 21:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Formed in 1993 or 1994?

In this article currently it states that SP were formed in Dundee in 1993. On Gary's own page it says that he left home in Ireland to go to Dundee university in 1994. It seems like one of those must be wrong. He's unlikely to have formed a band in Dundee before arriving there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:A61:5029:7F00:4861:C53A:5DF1:3F56 (talk) 18:55, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
