Something for your eyes; here’s yesterday’s US tour announcement in video form. Filmed with Ted, Marcus, Winston & Ben at a recording space somewhere in West London…

So the past month or so has taken the band up through the Highlands and back down through Ireland playing some old songs, some new songs and just, well… having a really good time, being out there playing in some very beautiful places. Thank you to everyone who came along. We had a blast. 
So now it’s London-time again. But not for long.
The previously announced US dates and Railroad Revival Tour get set in only a couple of weeks. And, USA, you shall actually be getting the band for a little longer than you bargained for. Mumford & Sons will be swinging by the following places in June… 

On 13th April, VH1 will be filming a, what looks set to be, really rather special and intimate unplugged performance by Mumford & Sons – appropriately titled ‘Mumford & Sons: Unplugged’. The peeps behind the show would like to offer the most dedicated M&S music appreciators and visitors to their online portals the chance to be in the audience. Here are the deets…
