On 13th November Snow Patrol release new single "Set The Fire To The Third Bar" featuring guest vocalist Martha Wainwright. The song was written especially for Martha in the last week of recording current album "Eyes Open". By chance Martha was touring Ireland at the time. "I'm not a great believer in fate." Says Gary Lightbody. "But when someone called to say "She's here, in this country and she wants to sing it, that was definitely "a moment".
