Snow Patrol: 'We're Not Copying Led Zeppelin With Whistle Stop Tour'

Snow Patrol have denied that their current whistle stop UK tour suggests the rock'n'oll lifestyle has gone to their heads.

The band are travelling in a private jet in order to complete their two day, four city tour, which has already taken in venues in Dublin and Belfast.

Speaking to the BBC, frontman Gary Lightbody said: "This is a little tiny airplane - it's just a propeller, it's not Led Zeppelin.

"We're certainly not the type of band who'll be flying around on a private jet."

After performing in Edinburgh this afternoon, the band will fly to London to perform the final leg of the tour at the Bloomsbury Theatre tonight.
