Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody will speak later today at TEDxStormont, an independently organised TEDx event that will feature leading thinkers and doers representing such diverse fields as technology, science, entertainment, visual and performance art, politics, music and education among others.

“I’m a huge fan of TED and I’m honoured to be asked to speak at TEDxStormont. TEDx is a globally respected concept and fosters great innovation through the people it provides a platform to. I’m in a cast of quite awe inspiring individuals and truly looking forward to it," said Lightbody.

The talk which takes place at 3.30pm today, March 28, will be broadcast live from Parliament Buildings in Stormont, and also features special guests SOAK, Wonder Villains, David C. Clements and Silhouette.
