I am fall-off-my-chair-excited to hear that Mumford & Sons will be releasing their debut album ‘Sigh No More’ through Gentlemen Of The Road/Island Records on the 5th October. ‘Little Lion Man’ will be released as the first single from the album on 28th September, a song that Zane Lowe has featured as ‘The Hottest Record In The World’ on BBC Radio 1.

Alongside this exciting news, Mumford & Sons will also be playing a special one-off intimate show at London’s Borderline on August 24th, where their music video for the new single will be premiered. The Blue Walrus, unfortunately, isn’t able to attend, but we highly recommend that you do! Tickets are available from www.wegottickets.com for the humble price of £8.
