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.
