Gentlemen of the Road: Dungog

With all this Splendour 2013 talk I am experiencing a great deal of  melancholy. So this post is a little bit tardy, considering it was almost a year ago now, but I am going to do my best to recall events from what I still feel was the best night of my life!

If you are much of a Mumford and Sons fan you will be farmiliar with their Gentlemen of the Road tour, which has been all around the Australia, the UK and the United States. They take their music, along with a bunch of other talented and insanely fabulous musicans, to remote areas who usually miss out.

It was such a good day, with insanely good music from Husky, Willy Mason, Matt Corby, Sarah Blasko, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Mumford and Sons. If you are yet to see either Edward Sharpe or Mumford you'd better hurry up and get on it, because you are missing out BIG time.

The passion they display throughout their whole set is remarkable. Their interactions with the audience, no matter what they are saying, are made better with their London accents. They so effortlessly put on an absolutely unforgettable show - every time without fail.

And call me dedicated or what, but we were front row for who seem to now be one of the world's biggest bands. And might I add they sang Babel live for the first time that night, which I claim I was the catalyst for ;)
