Snow Patrol at the Royal Albert Hall, South Kensington, London - 21st September 2026

Nosher and Isobel are off to London to see Snow Patrol perform the entirety of the album Eyes Open for its twentieth anniversary, at the Royal Albert Hall. Before the gig, we meet up with Jen Mac at the Comptoir Libanaise at the very bottom of Exhibition Road for some mezze, before heading into the Royal Albert Hall, albeit in separate areas, with Jen down at the lowest seating area, whilst we're right in the gods. Before that, the Gislingham Silver Band is playing in another gazebo at the Gislingham Town Yard - a small field behind the former Six Bells pub, where there's a sort of village picnic event going on.
