Here’s a little piece of The New Basement Tapes, this project putting some of Mr Robert Dylan’s lyrics to music with some badass musician types that I got to be involved in. We all played on each others’ songs, and here’s one I sang which was fun to do. Megalols.

It’s been one whole year since Mumford & Sons headlined Glastonbury Festival, three since they played the Other Stage stage and six since they made their debut appearance. This year they’re taking a break from performing duties, however…
We are very excited to announce that Gentlemen of the Road will still be in attendance at the festival this very weekend, where they’ve curated an eclectic line-up of performers for the intimate Avalon Cafe in the Field of Avalon on Saturday 28th June!
The following have been confirmed to appear, with room for some surprises too…
Bear’s Den
Michael Kiwanuka
Johnny Flynn
Nick Mulvey
Rubblebucket
King Charles
RHODES
The stage opens at 11:30am with a set from GOTR friend and comedian Thomas Gray; another friend and comedian Alfie Brown will be compering the whole event.
If you’re heading to Glastonbury make sure you come on down!
*Please note* this is a Gentlemen of the Road event only and NOT a Mumford & Sons performance.
The long lost episodes V and VI of the FRED & NICK directed Gentlemen Of The Road series recently re-emerged from the music-documentary wilderness and are now up in their rightful place i.e. online at the band’s Youtube channel, for your viewing pleasure.
To set the scene, cast your minds back to 2011. Mumford & Sons are in a London studio with producer Markus Dravs, recording what will be become their second album ‘Babel’. Featuring studio footage as well as a behind the scenes look at the band’s first Stopover shows – watch now below.
Much love,

“Well, normally I’m against big things. I think the world is going to be saved by millions of small things. Too many things can go wrong when they get big.”
Pete Seeger was a legitimate badass.
His influence reached further than many of us in the UK could even identify, but I think we can safely say we wouldn’t have played the music we play without the music he made. Here’s to Pete Seeger.
