Snow Patrol pay tribute to murdered woman

Rockers Snow Patrol are paying tribute to slain Northern Irish woman Lisa Dorrian at their forthcoming Belfast concert, in the hope of raising awareness of her unsolved murder.

Dorrian (aged 25), vanished after a party in Bangor in February 2005.

Police believe she has been murdered, possibly by the paramilitary group the Loyalist Volunteer Force, but her body has never been found.

The Chasing Cars band agreed to raise the profile of Dorrian's case after her sister Joanne approached them.

Joanne says: "Snow Patrol have been good enough to accept our offer to wear Lisa's blue ribbon of hope. We're just hoping that by people seeing them wearing it on stage it will raise awareness of Lisa's campaign and it will raise awareness of the website and people will just start thinking a wee bit more about what's happened to Lisa.

"It's a fantastic offer of support. We can't believe it."
