Ongoing History Daily: Mumford & Sons facts
Here are a few things you need to know about the individual members of Mumford & Sons:
(1) Marcus Mumford’s introduction to roots music began when his older brother gave him a mixtape of bluegrass music. At the time, he was playing drums in a free-jazz band called Détente;
(2) Ben Lovett used to be a massive fan of both Slipknot and the Deftones. He still is, but he’s toned that down;
(3) Still with Ben, never meet him with peanut butter on your breath. He’s terribly allergic.
(4) Ted Dwane was once in a band called SexFace.
And (5) Winston Marshall used to have a full head of dreads. When he cut them all off, he put them in a bag and keeps them under his bed at home. Why? No idea.
