Elegias by My Favourite Band
My Favourite Band was simply Luc and his dad making music together: eleven years, sixteen releases, and a shared world we hoped would last much longer. Tragically, Luc died in July 2025, at twenty-three, after facing three years of serious illness with astonishing courage.
The silence that followed became Elegias: eight pieces written in the first months without him. These songs are for him — to honour his memory, to celebrate his life, to hold on to the joy we shared, and to mourn the future we lost.
Luc loved music, and all art, with a depth far beyond his years. He treasured albums as complete works, valued craft, intention, and integrity. He was gentle, brave, wickedly funny, and brilliant in ways that still take my breath away.
This is the final My Favourite Band release. Without Luc, there is no band.
These eight tracks are his memorial.
With deep and sincere thanks to Kathryn Rees, Head of Harp at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama for her beautiful harp playing.
