Iain Archer announces Belfast date

It's Christmas party time on December 21 when Snow Patrol's chum Iain Archer plays a hometown headliner in the Empire Music Hall, Belfast.

The co-author of Snow Patrol's biggest hit to date, 'Run', Archer has also been making waves with Flood The Tanks, his debut solo album which has received copious amounts of airplay on BBC Radio 2.

Doors at the Empire open at 8.30pm with assorted special guests helping to keep the fun going to 1am.
