title Snow Patrol at the Royal Albert Hall, South Kensington, London - 21st September 2026 intro Nosher and Isobel are off to London to see Snow Patrol perform the entirety of the album Eyes Open for its twentieth anniversary, at the Royal Albert Hall. Before the gig, we meet up with Jen Mac at the Comptoir Libanaise at the very bottom of Exhibition Road for some mezze, before heading into the Royal Albert Hall, albeit in separate areas, with Jen down at the lowest seating area, whilst we're right in the gods. Before that, the Gislingham Silver Band is playing in another gazebo at the Gislingham Town Yard - a small field behind the former Six Bells pub, where there's a sort of village picnic event going on. imgp3222 The band in a gazebo in Gislingham's Town Yard imgp3224 Terry chats to Adrian imgp3225 The picnic audience disperses imgp3226 It's weird being in the Six Bells car park again imgp3227 Gislingham Town Yard imgp0001 Edward Elgar's house on Avonmore Road imgp0002 A flower stall on Kensington High Street imgp0005 The impressive Art Deco Barker's building imgp0008 The grand gates of Kensington Gardens imgp0010 A first view of the Royal Albert Hall imgp0014 The Albert Memorial glitters in the evening sun imgp0016 The impressive Church of the Latter Day Saints imgp0020 Nosher meets up with Isobel and Jen Mac imgp0022 We're at the Comptoir Libanaise imgp0024 Our mezze platter arrives imgp0025 Exhibition Road in Kensington imgp0026 What looks like a rare K2 phonebox imgp0029 It's a long way down from the top of the hall imgp0033 The Royal Albert Hall starts to fill up imgp0035 Martha Wainright is first on stage imgp0039 Snow Patrol start their set imgp0045 A view from upstairs at the Royal Albert Hall imgp0051 Snow Patrol in action imgp0055 The stars come out for a slow number imgp0058 Martha Waingright joins in for a number imgp0061 The Royal Albert Hall is bathed in red light imgp0064 Gary Lightbody under three spotlights imgp0070 The band all in purple imgp0091 There's dancing in the circles imgp0092 Gary Lightbody waves at the end of the gig imgp0094 The giant hall empties out imgp0097 The hall has cleared out in minutes imgp0098 Night shops on Kensington High Street imgp0102 We eat Persian pastries on the hotel balcony imgp0104 Avonmore Road in the morning imgp0106 The hotel room imgp0109 Post-modern 1930's styling on Olympia imgp0110 Zaman supermarket is just opening up imgp0111 An actual BT payphone cubicle on the High Street imgp0116 The entrance to High Street Kensington tube imgp0117 A tiny tobacconist stall opens up near the tube imgp0118 Another look at the awesome Barker's building imgp0124 The entrance to St. Mary Abbots imgp0125 George Gilbert Scott's church imgp0128 The west window of St. Mary Abbot imgp0130 Interesting Art Deco intaglio on Barker's imgp0131 Kensington High Street imgp0133 There's a collection of nodding heads in a shop imgp0134 A fancy building imgp0136 An alley with an "Electric Lighting Station" imgp0137 A little corner of Kensington Gardens imgp0140 High Street Kensington tube station imgp0141 Another view of High Street Kensington tube station imgp0142 1930s control rooms imgp0144 Notting Hill Gate underground station imgp0145 The other end of Notting Hill Gate tube imgp0150 The Central Line tube train comes in imgp0153 At Liverpool Street underground imgp0154 One of several giant fans keeping the air moving imgp0155 Liverpool Street Station imgp0157 The grand Victorian roof at Liverpool Street imgp0158 A wheeled stall with a very out-of-date message imgp0163 A contrast of old-ish and new on Bishopsgate imgp0164 It's all too much for a bicycle delivery rider imgp0168 The train on platform 12 imgp0183 Parallel lines imgp0186 Class 08 08624 "Rambo" at Ipswich imgp0187 The nose of Class 90 90041 "Pete Waterman" imgp0188 The tracks at Diss head off to Norwich
