Vernon is joined by Mumford & Sons' frontman Marcus Mumford, choosing his Tracks Of My Years all this week on the show. Plus, two listeners take on a new round of Ten To The Top and Vernon dips into the 蘑菇短视频 Archive in Vernon's Vault.

Born in California in 1987, then raised in Wimbledon, Marcus Mumford began making music from a young age and first met his future Mumford & Sons bandmate Ben at school. He went to Edinburgh University and began writing music there, but left after a year to return to London and focus on music, playing drums with Laura Marling. The band Mumford & Sons formed in 2007, at a time when a British folk scene was blooming. Their 2009 debut album Sigh No More sold more than a million copies in the UK, earned them a BRIT award and reached #2 in both the UK and the US. In 2013 they headlined the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury and won Album of the Year at the Grammys. The band performed in the Radio 2 Piano Room in January this year, shortly before releasing their latest album Prizefighter - which became their fourth UK chart-topping record. Mumford & Sons are touring globally this year, with one huge UK show at London's Hyde Park on Thursday 4th July.
