The main guy from Snow Patrol, Gary Lightbody, is also the ringleader of
the Reindeer Section, a kind of Scots-pop supergroup (members of Astrid,
Mogwai, Arab Strap, Mull Historical Society, Idlewild, Teenage Fanclub, the
Vaselines and the inevitable Belle and Sebastian) who have put a couple of
very good records in the last few years, so there's more out there to explore.
