Duck & Cover No.7
On Monday WTGR favourites Mumford & Sons stopped by BBC Radio 1 to play both their new single The Cave and a rather brilliant version of Vampire Weekend’s Cousins for the ever wonderful Sara Cox. Sticking to form, it starts off rather slowly before kicking into overdrive upon the age-old command of an enthusiastic “1,2,3,4!!”. [...]
Duck & Cover No.6

First up is Mumford & Sons tackling one of the greatest movie songs of all time. Not only is 1973′s Robin Hood a much underated arrow in Disney‘s quiver, [...]
