Having flown solo quite a bit this year in the States, Gary Lightbody has announced an acoustic visit to the Belfast Waterfront on December 22, with tickets on sale this Friday.
It’s a civilised, fully-seated affair with the local lad done extremely good taking a liberal stroll through his back catalogue.
One or two words may be said about his beloved Northern Ireland qualifying for France next summer.
He's also been tweeting his current TV viewing habits: "Just binged watched #Catastrophe by @robdelaney & Sharon Horgan. Insanely smart and funny and the writing and acting are extraordinary."
We couldn't agree with him more!
Rest assured that all is still sweetness and light in Snow Patrol Land with the band currently recording a new album which will be getting a 2016 release.
