Dearest Friends,
World Wide WELCOME to our website. Welcome to our very own unique corner of this bizarre and faintly glorious world of sites, blogs, tweets and streams.
We hereby launch the MUMFORD & SONS website with both joy and ambition. With joy, because it feels like the beginning of us being a proper band with a fancy website which, we have to admit, is pretty fun. With ambition, because we indulge in visions of creating a community – a family – albeit online, where we can share with you, you can share with us, and you can share with each other. Utopian? Yessir.
We reckon the internet is alright. In fact, we may not have been here as a band without it. The fact that we can drive to a town we’ve never been to and play shows to people who know our music, is incredible, and helped to no end by the internet.
The danger is that we all get better doing life online than we do in the flesh. That ain’t the idea. We still prefer eye contact to skype contact. Sometimes there’s just a bit too much information– and we’re not that interesting. BUT, that said, we endeavour to have a good old crack at being web geeks.
Our website will be a place where you can find out what we’re doing as a band, where we’re playing, what we’re releasing and all that stuff. We’re going to try and put quality before quantity, and await your feedback with baited breath. The idea is that it’s also a place where we all get to rub shoulders a bit, speak our minds about stuff not just to do with music, as you’ll see soon enough.
Our mantra: Don’t always just write the first thing that comes into your head, and don’t rush. There’s no rush, hombres.
And so we begin.

Hello all I was recently diagnosed in April with stage 3 hodgkins lymphona which was hard being the age I am and not knowing at all I had it. I have been fighting the fight I am now part of a clinical study that is a 21 day cycle chemotherapy regiment. My doctor told me not to go to a concert or anything of the sort, however I already had tickets to the STL concert for Mumford and was able to go despite the doctors. It has gotten a lot tougher of a battle since then, but I still look back on...

When I listen to the album "Sigh No More" , I can't find one song I don't like and it is spiritual release for me, I love it and, the music is haunting almost like a pentecostal revival that I used to have to go as a child. Good work, I have to thank you and Ray Lamontagne for bringing back, though provoking and spiritual lifting music. GodSpeed

hi Mumford & Sons I love your music and am disappointed that the Boston show is already sold out. Any chance that you can add an extra date (maybe September 10th), as you did in NYC? Thank you and safe travels on your tour! Take care - Elizabeth

Cracking album, I am so besotted with your music which combines the ancient & the Otherworld beautifully. I am a lecturer in Ancient Celtic studies in Cardiff and I hope you don't mind but I have been urging my students to buy your album to get in touch with their ancient roots. Thank you so much for bringing your music out into the world, long may you reign xxxxx
