Iain Archer confirms Belfast gig + Gary Lightbody collaboration plans

Iain Archer brings it all back home on December 10 when he plays the Black Box, Belfast.
He’s also been talking about how he plans to kick off the New Year.
“I’m heading to Portland, Oregon in January to make a record,” he reveals. “Tired Pony is a new band pulled together by Gary Lightbody and includes (Archer’s wife) Miriam, Jacknife Lee, Richard Coburn of Belle and Sebastian, myself... and another couple of people you may have heard of! It’s set to be a country-tinged piece of work.”
Talking to Hot Press about his yee-haw! plans in September, Lightbody said that the rest of Snow Patrol are “delighted that I’m getting to exorcise all my crazy ideas!”
