BGD Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Everybody............Please do yourselves a huge favour. If you've not yet heard of the English folk/rock band called Mumford & Sons, just sit down quietly, click on the link below, and enjoy watching one of the very best new bands on the planet. Then watch them again. And again and again and again. Awesome original music and poetic lyrics, written and played by really gifted musicians with true passion. Just wonderful stuff.

Keithl Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Totally agree Bruce. I added their latest album to my iPod before coming away to Sweden 2 weeks ago and have been listening to it on the road here. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Eddie..........................those four dodgy young people, using electricity, growing beards, being able to write their own music, all their own melodies and choral arrangements, and all those complex lyrics, and actually being able to play several instruments. Without backing musicians, huge fat producers, and key-correction software? It's just not cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mornin' I certainly don't dislike their music(..I seem to recall catching them a couple of years back,in a field somewhere)but as with many bands that've got a break,there are loads of other,very similar(some equally talented and yet unheard of) bands around... The "acoustic tents" at UK summer festivals are awash with these currently "cool'n'trendy", moleskin/corduroy slacks & Grandad-shirt wearing "fake-folk" bands.... (lol) ...it doesn't stop 'em from being good though. Good luck to 'em! ;-) ..let's just hope that some of the mainstream music media (and money and backing!) gets directed to some of these similarly,talented artists,instead of thrown at the manufactured "X Factor,Lady GaGarbage" trash..! *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyishuk Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I would not have picked it out, but my daughter gave me "Muse" - The 2nd Law is quite listenable to. For those of a certain age which were partial to Queen, Deep Purple in concert and War of the Worlds genre, it is quite an unusual mixture.

John 47 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's all a matter of taste. I saw Mumford and Sons a few years back, in the days when folk festivals could still afford to book them and thought they were ok but a bit bland. My eldest son, however, is hooked on them. It would be a boring world if we were all attracted to the same things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think the acid test is will a group, artist, band, still be getting air play in 50 years time, most of them will fade into obscurity, and some extremely talented musicians we never get to hear about like these, how original and yet I have only just discovered them, if you want quirky and original, together with a laugh, check out the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dNSKV8158o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 A folk version of a pistols classic ................ sorry but thats just not right, and no I havent played it as a matter of principal. I like some folk "Fairport convention" for one (saw them live somewere early 80s they were excellent.) And I like some punk, but not together :-D Punk was one of those things that belonged to a certain era and deserves to be remebered by those of us that were there in a certain way.
