I've always wondered is why did you guys go with Mumford and Sons like is it your band with everyone? You see you've always wondered that how often are you coming back to that question? You've had like four hours to ask that question and you haven't asked it, so I saved the worst question for last To be fair, it is a shit question I just remember the pub that we were having this conversation in when we were actually deciding it It was just Putney Bridge, the north side of the pub in Putney Bridge and we had used the name because in the early days Marcus had gathered a collection of songs and was gathering various combinations and actually I think at one point it was Merry Men and like it kind of we had played a few shows as Mumford and Sons and then we're like should we just go and have a drink and talk about this for a minute so we went and talked so I think we talked about like maybe 15 or 20 different even worse band names and we were like Son never sets on the cool kids, it's my fault We're like maybe we should just stick with it and you know part of what made us feel comfortable with sticking with it was at that point we could see about two weeks into our future and no one thought that we were going to be in Los Angeles having this conversation A moment in that chat was like it would only really be a problem if like you went international or if you played shows to like more than 100 people so it's probably not really going to be a thing we're like yeah let's just go with Mumford and Sons The idea of like I will wait by the sun never sets on the cool kids on 95.5 Yeah I love it Mumford and Sons is great you know you know I mean you have a cool name you really do Well it was it was a time when there were lots of bands like Johnny Flynn and the Sussex Wit or all these bands that had like a person's name and the villains yeah yeah person's name and the band name or it was like The Kooks, The Zootons, The Strokes, there's lots of thes and we were like well what feels a bit more us and a bit more British than that calling it something with a family name like a family business felt representative of how we were thinking about doing our business at the time so and it was like no one else had the name so we did it
