Day 11.250: Snow Patrol and Ashe

Tonight, Exile #2 and I dropped Exile #3 at dance class (well, she dropped herself and then we took the car), and went to Portland to see Snow Patrol at the State Theatre. We arrived early and snagged front-row seats in the balcony again - a great view and a comfortable seat for our old bones.

The support act was a very cute young Californian called Ashe who did a very impressive display of her vocal skills in a set accompanying herself on piano and then - looking like an excited fan, but doing a great job - joined Snow Patrol for a rendition of Set The Fire To The Third Bar. That was just  one of many favourites that they played tonight interspersed with five or six songs from their excellent new album Wildness.
