So, Little Lion Man, eh? Remember him? Small fella, looked a little bit like a lion? Had a healthy relationship with the chart and a rebound ‘thing’ with Mr. Cruz a while back? Well, he’s officially off-the-shelf, snapped up by a whole host of handsome young things (that’s you btw), and though his mane blazed brightly in the Autumn sun, it’s a new dawn, a new day, and, apparently, a whole new season…
Mumford and Sons are fit to burst with pride and excitement as they officially announce the release of Winter Winds! The second offering from Sigh No More is set to breeze casually, but firmly, on to the shelf and into the game on December the 7th two-zero-zero-nine. Winter Winds will be available to buy from all the usual suspects, in all the usual formats, and will also come complete with the sparkling endorsement of a certain Scott Mills, who has made Winter Winds his Record of The Week this week over at Radio 1! Wonderful! Here’s to you Mr. Mills… And to all of you reading this, here’s to you and yours too, just because we’re nice like that.
Breaking News!! Peep a FIRST look at the artwork for Winter Winds below…

In a splendid twist of fate, we merry men find ourselves hurtling towards the emerald isles not a full day after Guinness’s 250th Birthday celebrations, and to say we were just a little bit excited would be as mild an understatement as a pint of the good stuff itself. And as if that wasn’t wonderful enough, we have even more wonderful news fresh from the road! Can we call them traffic updates? Let’s not… Let’s just say that we’ll be playing a series of rather fine instores in the coming weeks, all of which are FREE!

More proof, if proof were needed, that the best things in life are free. Check that continuity, this one’s got legs, it could just run and run and run and run…

1st Oct – Pure Groove – London – 7.30pm
6th Oct – Resident – Brighton – 6pm
7th Oct – Rise – Bristol – 6pm

If not for fine fortune and a little endeavour, we Sons may well have found ourselves travelling very different roads: were it not for the various interventions of higher hands and trusted guides we could’ve been bad guys – the very worst, each of us contemptible, criticised and cursed; an ailing mob masterminded by a failing Fat Sam… All this could definitely have happened… It feels as though it may actually have, in another time and another place, and I think Dexter Fletcher was there… Odd.

Or teachers. We could have been teachers! So noble the educator. Imagine a crisp September morning, first period, English language – ‘The cliché’. And there could surely be no finer example to inscribe upon the blackboard than, ‘The best things in life are free…’.

How fitting then, that we are giving away a hyper-modern Mp3 of a re-recorded ‘Sister’ absolutely free via our new website! Okay, it may not be the best thing in your life, but it is free, so, you know, close enough.
