Mumford and Sons.

With an E.P. Launch night already sold out in Kilburn, and fresh off the back of a rousing set on Sunday morning at Glastonbury festival's Park stage Mumford and sons are on the path to stardom. Sure its a dusty path, a little overgrown in places and a far cry from the autobahn of success travelled by your Radioplays or Coldheads but the right path nonetheless! There isn't a huge amount on the wwweb of theirs to listen to in fact their Myspace (Theirspace) has only two songs for streaming namely, White Blank Page and Awake My Soul.

Their performance at Emily Eavis' pet project Park area, was one of the highlights of this year's festival. With the sun well and truly out, the crowd all sat on the grass soaking in the rays and not the moisture from the ground they ambled out on to the stage. With the first track finished and applause duly received lead singer Marcus Mumford edges sideways towards the mic and somewhat awkwardly says "This may be a bit self-indulgent but 'Hello Glastonbury'..." which is met with warm smiles and a smattering of whoops. The set progresses and barely a still foot can be seen, straw hats bob gaily back and forth to the strains of the banjo and double bass driving the momentum to each songs climactic finish. As is so often the case at festivals you are left wanting more when tight time constraints bring about the end of a special set. I could have stayed entirely captivated for much much longer without once glancing down at the necklace of bands and times around my neck, but end it did and the seated revelers were brought to their feet in appreciation.

You have to take a listen and see for yourself:
