The glorious Marika Hackman graced the North Stage early
doors on Saturday in an angelic all white outfit, reflected by her pure performance in the London sun. Clearly happy to be there, Marika expressed her
joy at being personally selected by Mumford and Sons to play a part in their
Gentlemen of the Road takeover throughout the performance. She played a smattering
of new and old songs, mainly from 2017’s I’m Not Your Man, filling the
ears of the onlookers, who were mostly seated, enjoying expensive lager. Opening with
“blahblahblah” before jumping into “My Lover Cindy” and “Good Intentions”,
the glorious melodic hooks filled the summer air, before fan favourites
“Time’s Been Reckless” and “Boyfriend” closed what was a wholesome performance.
