‘Mumfamily’ was the name given to the Mumford & Sons fandom. It was named so because we are a close-nit family with longlasting friendships, brought together by our love for Mumford & Sons.
No one knows for sure, but WOLO is suspected to mean “Winston Only Lives Once” or “We Only Live Once”.
Thank you, hope this helps! x
Hello! Welcome to the fandom! I’ve been trying to add references to all my posts as time progresses because I know this has been an issue to many new and old mumfamily members. If you could maybe give me particular posts you’re curious about, it would help me to explain them! Thanks x
Ross Holmes is Mumford & Sons’ fiddle player, who accompanies them for all live shows and recorded Babel with them. He is the honorary “fifth member” of Mumford & Sons to many fans. Hope this helped! x
I’ll post the ones I can find explanations and sources for!
1: [x]
5: This is from the Mumfamily Tea Times, which are times where someone in the mumfamily posts a tinychat link on the mumfamily tag and everyone goes into it and talks! (: They mostly happen during the summer, weekends, and holidays, when people have the most amount of time.
11: This is from Mumford & Pals! an animated series of Mumford & Sons on youtube (you should look it up, it’s hilarious!)
38: This picture explains all.
48: Not exactly sure! But I know Ted has a fondness for cats! (see this picture)
63: Not directly related to the band, but YOHO means “You Only Har Once”
65: This gif where Winston runs away from a bee (can’t exactly remember the video):
68: It’s a pun on Ben’s last name (: “i love it”/”i lovett”
86: Across the years and many interviews/shows it has been said and shown that Ted, Marcus, and Ben can play the drums during shows. But for whatever reason they never allow Winston to play the drums (even though he’s quite good - I have personally seen him play!)
94: Winston was once part of a band called Captain Kick and the Cowboy Ramblers and in one of their more vulgar songs titled “Bitchfuckit” there is a line in the song that states: “Let’s start with Country Winston - Ladies look at him and their cunts start dripping”. You can listen to the song here.
128: In the Mumfamily facebook group there are many posts that start with “Not Mumford related but…” so it became a running joke.
135: This post!
142: Reece is a Mumfamily member and apparently “DAMMIT REECE!” is a common phrase when he’s near.
Don’t be sorry!! I apologize I don’t have all the answers! I hope this helped a bit and thank you for liking this blog! If any of my followers have a couple more answers for some of the posts requested, please let me know! (: x
I can’t seem to find it, I’m terribly sorry! Do any of my followers perhaps have the link to the interview? If you do, please send it her way! x
I’m very sorry! This blog isn’t trying to exclude people or measure who’s a “true” fan or not! They way I see it, it’s to share some fun interview and banter memories. I do admit that the title of this blog is a bit misleading in my intentions. What I’m trying to do now (because this has unfortunately happened before, where people have felt bad for not knowing things) is put the link of the interview or moment the post is about in the description so no one feels left out or feel bad. I’m very sorry that this blog has made you feel this way. You are definitely a true fan. It doesn’t matter if you only know one song or know every detail of Mumford & Sons’ life as long as you enjoy their music.
