Mark Peter McClelland[1] (born 30 March 1976)[2] is a Northern Irish musician known best as the former bass guitarist of the band Snow Patrol.

Morrison left the band in 1995 and with new drummer Jonny Quinn, they became Polar Bear and eventually Snow Patrol.

Speaking to Scotland's The Daily Record at the time, McClelland claimed he was sacked as Lightbody "wanted more control and less interference", adding that Snow Patrol would effectively be a solo project now.

[6][7] McClelland has gone on to create Little Doses, along with girlfriend (now wife),[8] singer Kirsten Ross and drummer Michael Branagh of Degrassi.

On 10 September 2007, the BBC news site reported that McClelland has issued a writ at the High Court in London seeking 25% of Snow Patrol's earnings since he left the band in March 2005.
