English folk rockers Mumford & Sons brought their Full English Tour to a sold-out crowd last night. Rescheduled from their original July 11th show of the Summer Stampede Tour, due to bass player Ted Dwane requiring emergency surgery after suffering a blood clot on the surface of his brain. Ted quickly recovered, and was soon back in business with the band headlining the closing day of the 2013 Glastonbury Festival in late June.
West Londoners Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane formed Mumford & Sons in December 2007. While performing small to moderate venues throughout 2008-2009, the following years saw them gaining popularity and picking up larger audiences. Their latest album Babel (released in 2012) won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The band also recently won a Brit Award for Best British Group.
Fellow West London folkster Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit along with Mystery Jets opened the show.
