Snow Patrol in 2002

In 2002, the Snow Patrol started to be managed and published by Jazz Summers of Big Life. Guitarist Nathan Connolly, previously of F.U.E.L. had been working in an HMV store room in Belfast at the time. Connolly and the band had a mutual friend, who introduced them to him. Connolly moved to Glasgow to join the band in the spring of 2002. His mother commented that he had been “kidnapped by rock stars”. By 2002–2003, the Snow Patrol had started to lose faith of getting signed, and was considering getting jobs to raise money to finance the album themselves. During Lightbody and McClelland’s years at the University of Dundee, they had been noticed by Richard Smernicki, a senior student. Through Richard, brother Paul too had come to know the band. Richard graduated in 1996, two years before Lightbody and McClelland, to become Polydor’s Scottish A&R representative. Paul became Polydor’s Press and Artist Development Managerand Fiction’s label manager. Later, Jim Chancellor, an A&R executive for Fiction, and Alex Close (fellow talent scout) approached the band and judged them on “the quality of the songs”, according to Lightbody. The band contemplated their future for a few months before eventually signing. Manager Summers too had a major part in getting the band signed.Get your tickets of all your favorite events at Ticket Market like Snow Patrol Concert Tickets.
