Glastonbury 2014
Watch Courtney Barnett play ‘Avant Gardener’ in session
The Aussie singer-songwriter and band perform a stripped-back version of the track.
Where at Glastonbury isn’t Courtney Barnett playing? The Australian singer-songwriter has already wowed the Park and John Peel Stages - and here it was the turn of the BBC Music Tepee.
It “probably paid for our ticket out here” according to Barnett on the Park Stage yesterday, so here she is playing a (slightly) stripped-back version of ‘Avant Gardener’ in session.
Read about Courtney Barnett’s set on the Park Stage yesterday, and a quick snippet of an interview we did before Glastonbury, where she said her album was “all recorded”.
