Bon Iver played the Serpentine Sessions last night in Hyde Park, to a sold-out 3,000-strong crowd. It was like a mini-festival with a few other folk bands playing - we saw the gentle, dreamy It Hugs Back playing on a bandstand surrounded by a white picket fence - it was all balmy dusk and dappled light, with everyone sat in the evening sun drinking Pimms and cider on benches, blankets and picnic tables. Beautiful.
His gig was amazing - his only London show this year, so I'm thrilled to have caught it - and I'm buying his album immediately.
