Watch Mumford & Sons discover the banjo on Jimmy Kimmel
The band and host look back to their 90s ‘Mumtown’ days.
Mumford & Sons were US TV host Jimmy Kimmel’s musical guest last night - and while we’re sure they were there to peddle ‘Wilder Mind’ and the songs it contains - they also joined in on a skit.
