Why Mumford & Sons' Winston Marshall is going to change his tattoo and stop going by the nickname "Country Winston"
- GQ: Why the word "tour" [as a tattoo]?
- Winston Marshall: Um, because I love tour.
- GQ: Not "touring"? Not even "tour!" with an exhortatory or celebratory exclamation mark? Could you only afford the four letters?
- WM: Yeah, at the time... [He grins.] I'll add the 'ing' now. I know it's not very imaginative.
- GQ: While we're at it, why the nickname "Country"?
- WM: I'm not up for it any more; I'm going to change it. It was from an old band where we had pseudonyms. I kept it because I thought it was fun. There was Hillbilly Harry, Duvet Crocket, Kid Fiddler... The problem is, at the time, for me, country music meant bluegrass. Now I've spent time in America I've realised I don't actually like country music.

Mumford & Sons make their debut appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone in our next issue. Senior writer Brian Hiatt shadows the group as they finish the most recent leg of their U.S. tour in Camden, New Jersey, then hangs out with them on their London home turf, including backstage at the Brit Awards. The band speaks openly about faith, their imitators and the improbable rise of an acoustic band in a digital age. “I have no idea how my phone works,” says frontman Marcus Mumford, “Whereas, when I see an acoustic guitar played with gusto, I understand how it works.”

The top-selling and award-winning British band Mumford & Sons played the Zenith in Munich on 11th March, 2013 as part of their European tour. In this video, Marcus Mumford and Ted Dwane discuss the band’s main focus: playing gigs.

Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons talked with Vanessa Spanbauer of Austria’s music magazine Enemy while in Vienna on 7th March, 2013. Here’s a translated excerpt from the interview:
Rumor has it that you want to rap on your next album. Is this true and what can we expect?
Ben: I can now start a rumor. Want to hear an exclusive rap? (Laughs) Nah, I’m not ready for that! Ted: That is a quote out of context. (Laughs) It was more sarcasm that someone has not understood. Ben: We actually have no idea how the next album will sound. It could be anything. So, theoretically, it could even be rap. It could also be a spoken album. Ted: Or a picture! (Laughs) Ben: Or complete silence! (Laughs) You just have to wait. Speculation is currently dangerous because we focus only on our concerts.
Your last video for “Lover Of The Light” is brilliant. Could it be because you’re not in it?
Ben: Yes, exactly! (Laughs) Thank you! Ted: That is what we have realized. (Laughs) Ben: Just stay out of the video. (Laughs) Ted: What we have now learned there definitely helped. I think from now on, even I am in the videos. We have just finished the next one [“Whispers in the Dark”] and I’m very happy with it. I think we are now in a new era of our music videos.

Justin Timberlake Confirms Marcus Mumford Duet
JT has worked with the BRIT winner on a song for Coen Bros new movie…
16:37, Tuesday, 26 February 2013 via MTV
Justin Timberlake has confirmed he’s recorded a collaboration with the lead singer of Mumford & Sons for his new flick.
The Mirrors singer revealed he’s teamed-up with Marcus Mumford on a tune for his latest movie, Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, which also stars Mumford’s wife, actress Carey Mulligan.
Revealing the news during an interview with Capital FM, Timberlake stated: “OK I can tell you this. There’s a Coen brothers film coming out soon that I was lucky enough to work with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan.
“And coincidentally I did work with Marcus Mumford on the soundtrack, so I became very good friends with them.”
The former NSYNC star continued: “Marcus and myself, we all kind of worked on the music together and I don’t know any other world where we would have the opportunity to collaborate like that but it was so much fun.
“So not only will that be a great movie, but the music to it will be fantastic.”
The movie is due for release later this year.
