MUMFORD AND SONS are a four piece folk band from London, made up of Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums), Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, dobro), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, organ) and Ted Dwane (vocals, double bass). Formed in late 2007 they rose out of London's folk scene with other artists such as Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, Jay Jay Pistolet and Noah and the Whale. With the band often supporting Laura Marling at concerts, while their association with Noah and the Whale can be traced back to King's College School, Wimbledon, attended by Mumford and Lovett of Mumford & Sons, and Noah and the Whale bass-player Matt Owens. In 2008 the band completed an extensive UK tour with support from Alessi's Ark, Peggy Sue and The Cutaway to name a few… with later that year being longlisted for the BBC's Sound of 2009.
