Jason is 19 and comes from Bruges. He’s a big fan of the British rock band Editors, having seen them 15 times in five countries, and by the looks of it, he knows all of the words to all of their songs. As the band was performing an acoustic version of the plaintive ballad No Sound but the Wind, the cameras caught him singing along, matching Editors’ front man Tom Smith all the way for emotional intensity. So much so that while the people around Jason appear to be transfixed by his performance, he’s not even aware he’s onscreen.

The audience seem to have loved it: as he told De Krant van West Vlaanderen, “Somebody just came up and gave me a drinks ticket, and a girl asked on behalf of her friend if she could give me a kiss.” He now, like every trend and passing fad, has his own appreciation society on Facebook.

The band was equally impressed. After seeing the video on YouTube, somebody from the record company got in touch for permission to feature him in the official video for the single, due to be released soon.

“Really impressive,” Jason commented. “And they also promised I would get a gift from Editors.” Jason has a suggestion for what that might be: “I’m also a guitarist with the band Foetal Void. If they want to give me something, maybe they could let us be their supporting act.”
