Special Mention to Her’s
In January we hurried out of an evening footy match v. Crystal Palace at St Mary’s to go to Her’s sold-out show at Heartbreakers. So glad we did, shortly after Stephen & Audin lost their lives in a tragic car accident while on tour in America. If you don’t know their work give their fun pop tunes a spin. Talented young men gone way too soon.
