And they’ve even compiled us a handy guide to the artists involved, too, giving us their thoughts on the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, The Vaccines, Slow Club and more. Bless ‘em.

Mumford & Sons UK Tour Announcement: GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD STOPOVER SHOWS IN HUDDERSFIELD AND GALWAY ANNOUNCED
From the Mumford & Sons Official Website:
We are very pleased to announce details of a series of ‘Gentlemen of the Road Stopover…’ shows this Summer. To explain more, here’s word from the band themselves:
“The Gentlemen of the Road Stopover is based loosely upon our favourite festivals like Colorado’s Telluride Bluegrass and Scotland’s Loopallu Festivals.
We want to stop off in towns not usually heavily toured by bands, and celebrate the people, food and music that inhabit them. We’re keen to promote the town’s local businesses, and we’ll be using the local bars and venues for aftershow parties, whilst working closely with the local people to get everyone involved in making these shows spectacular.
There will be a host of our friends playing too, and the vibe falls somewhere between ‘travelling Victorian circus’ and ‘Victorian travelling circus’. It should be a whole lot of fun.”
The one-day outdoor events will tour globally and will be headlined and curated by Mumford & Sons, with heavy involvement from local communities, from the produce sold on the sites, to engaging visitors with the towns as a whole.
In addition to the 2 confirmed Stopover shows, the band will also play a series of evening gigs preceding and inbetween, with the support acts selected from the summer show line-ups. Here are the dates and venues.
Gentlemen of The Road presents:
- 30th May – St David’s Hall, Cardiff
- 31st May – Leas Cliff Pavilion, Folkestone
- 2nd June - Gentlemen of the Road Stopover In Huddersfield – Mumford & Sons, Willy Mason, Michael Kiwanuka, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Correspondents
- 4th June – The Apex, Bury St Edmonds
- 5th June – Marina Theatre, Lowestoft
- 6th June – The Sage, Gateshead
- 9th June – Gentlemen of the Road Stopover In Galway – Mumford & Sons, The Vaccines, Willy Mason, Zulu Winter, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Correspondents
Tickets for all dates will go on pre-sale from 9am on the 20th April and on general sale from 21st April.
Pre-sale tickets for the Stopover shows will be available via www.gentlemenoftheroad.com. Tickets cost £49.50 (Huddersfield), €45.00 (Galway). Pre-sale tickets for the other shows will be available via www.mumfordandsons.com. Tickets for these dates will cost £23.50.

Mumfordandsons.com Blog Update: WIN DOWGGE'S ATTEMPT AT A WIN BLOWGGE
Friday, February 17, 2012
From the Mumford & Sons Official Website:
From time to time on our website we like to put up a list of songs that we are listening to at the moment, songs we want other people to listen to maybe, or maybe just list off some songs that make us look well indie. Now it’s my turn to use this mechanism to show the world how alternative I am. Unfortunately for anyone remotely interested I’m going through a phase that most of my mates, most of the world, went through fifteen years ago; Nirvana. Now I don’t think I could say anything about that band that hasn’t already been said, and I don’t think it would be of much interest to anyone if I was to put up the tracklisting of Nevermind. But listening to them is reminding me of the few times a band has come along and made a big impact on this small mind of mine. So I’d like to write a little something about an album that made my boxers start twitching a few years ago and it would make me happy if more people would give it a listen.
The album is Four Thieves Gone by a band we’ve since had the pleasure of playing with, The Avett Brothers. What a f**king album. I think when I first heard it we’d started touring hard around the UK, meeting exotic women from towns like Wakefield and Middlesbrough, then heading home to write about what we’d seen (in the key of G). This album came along and the songs were about writing about what we were thinking about writing about writing about thinking…. confusing, it was, but this album cleared it up for me.
People talk about ‘honest’ music a lot these days. Well this album is honest. It’s honest without being soppy, it’s witty without being whiney, it’s about girls without being (too) girly. (Bit girly is alright, sometimes). If Herman Hesse ever wrote a song it would have been Talk On Indolence, a perfect combination of dense heady narcissism and light clumsy joviality (with the refrain I’m a little nervous about what you’ll think, when you see me in my swimming trunks). I could replace each name in Pretty Girl From Feltre and have a perfect description of something that happened to me. Distraction 74 could probably describe every event of my life between the ages of 16 and 21… I’m already getting quite sentimental about this album so i might steer away from telling you why each song is so important to me lest this blog turns into a teenage girl’s diary (no offense to any teenage girls who keep diaries out there, I think you are very brave).
Ladies and gentlemen I present you a folk album of grunge songs, jigs, punk masterpieces, Appalachian classics, even, dare I say it, jazz. If you like it try listening to their album Emotionalism. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, listen to The Vaccines (do I get some indie cred now? but you should actually listen to The Vaccines cos they are pretty sick).
I think this is one of my first blogs, so in case I’ve committed “cyberworld suicide”, goodbye forever. If not then goodbye for now.
Ok bye.
