In May of 2018, we were in Brighton, England at The Great Escape Festival. A pair of mates who had started a little project out of love a few years earlier, we were living the dream.
At the same time, another pair of mates were on the South Coast. They too had started a little project out of love a few years earlier, and they too were living their dreams. Their names were Stephen and Audun, and the project of their making was a band called Her’s.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the boys were kind enough to step into our little studio for a chat. Immediately we loved them. More funny, warm and clearly kind-hearted people you couldn’t wish to meet.
As we approach this year’s staging of the same festival with excitement, it’s absolutely heartbreaking to know that Stephen and Audun can no longer do the same. A tragic accident cut their journeys short and, a number of weeks on, that fact still does not feel real.
We only shared a short amount of time with them, but we feel lucky to have done so. Knowing the impact they had on us so quickly and the loss we feel as a result, it’s impossible to imagine the pain those fortunate enough to know them better than us will have felt.
Celebrating the people Stephen and Audun were and the joy they spread feels like the perfect way to pay tribute to them at this truly dreadful time. Their light shines through in this interview as it does in their music, and we hope that remembering the good times can bring some comfort to those who, like us, have been deeply affected by it all.
