Ray Davies from The Kinks joined Mumford & Sons on stage to do a medley of his songs Days and This Time Tomorrow. What a really great guest appearance and surprise! Generally high quality, but a bit shaky in places I'm afraid. According to NME Ray Davies has been working with Mumford & Sons as well as various other acts on his new album - http://www.nme.com/news/ray-davies/52702 . They are also on Later with Jools Holland this week. It was a really brilliant evening and the band certainly seemed to be enjoying it! Have also posted Lover of the Light (new), another new (as yet unnamed) song, Sisters (acoustic) and Whispers In The Dark as well as a Johnny Flynn song. Various other Mumford & Sons videos from the Haldern Festival also on my channel including another new one, Nothing Is Written.

  • yes, interesting collaboration..........there is just no voice like that of Ray Davies...

    can't help but wonder if the Mumford & Sons fans know who is standing in front of them, what this man did for music.

  • @doodahgal Think so - I was quite suprised, but there was a lot of singing along and i think that's what made Ray smile @0:20 ish

  • Thank you for having a great quality of a camera!!!! It captures the pure beauty of this song

  • That video give me a thrill each time I see it. It is like good karma, love and genius are pouring out of the all Hammersmith's story.

  • Well I have just finnished dancing around the office like a fool. Just one of those songs you can't help tap the old slipper to. Simply Splendid

  • This song seems to speak for all of humanity. Where will humans be in the future? Still on earth? Or spreading out across the great infinite?

    Hopefully, it will the latter. I want to see an American flag printed on the side of a spaceship or flying over a building on Mars someday.

  • I've never heard of Mumford & Sons before, but when you've followed bands like the Kinks since they were young (and you were, too), it's so great to see younger bands who appreciate and look up to them, and help keep their songs alive. I had a similar feeling watching yo la tengo play Bonzo Dog Band songs with Neil Innes a few years ago. It makes you feel like rock and roll really never will die!

  • Very classy

  • @jangohump Why do you think Mumford is awful sir/ma'am?

  • Thanks waitingforthewinter, a tip of my fictional hat to you, good sir or ma'am!

  • @doodahgal There was an interview that Marcus Mumford gave where he said when he found out Davies chose him to for the collaboration that "it was the most excited I've ever been".

  • this seriously gave me the chills.
