Mumford and Sons to bring folk tunes to Berkeley
Mumford and Sons emerged from the West London folk community in the late 2000s, and have since become global sensations. The group formed in 2007, and is composed of multi-instrumentalists Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane and Ben Lovett. They began to break into the U.S. mainstream in the early 2010s with tracks such as 'Little Lion Man' and 'The Cave,' eventually earning their first Grammy Award for their sophomore album 'Babel,' which released in 2012. Mumford and Sons have continued to release records periodically since, and Mumford ventured out on his debut solo project, 'Self-Titled,' in 2022 while continuing to make music with the band. He performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass that same year. Now, fans can catch the folk rock group at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater on Monday-Tuesday, June 9-10.

Tommy Tiernan: ‘I have no real facility for handling money. I love shopping, but I have no interest in investing or saving'

From quantum physics to brain surgery, buying a motorbike and being an irresponsible dad, he covers a lot of ground in a frank chat with Tanya Sweeney Tommy Tiernan starts every morning with a double espresso (and, very occasionally, a cigar) and no wonder. You'd want to be fairly caffeinated to keep up with the Galway-based actor/comedian's significant workload. Today, we are meeting in the Abbey Theatre, where Tiernan is gearing up for a role in three-hander The Cave, a black comedy written by Kevin Barry and co-starring Aaron Monaghan and Judith Roddy.
