Marcus Mumford On How Noel Gallagher Helped Him With His Songwriting

Taken from an interview with Marcus Mumford about Mumford & Sons new album 'Delta'.

"I actually saw Noel Gallagher at a pub, and we were talking," Marcus recalled. "He's such a nice man - I mean, he's a prick as well, but he's a nice man. And he said to me, 'what are you doing at the moment?' I said, 'ah, man, I'm taking a little bit of a break from writing. I've just found it a bit hard.' And he was like, 'Man, what the FUCK are you doing with your life if you're not writing songs? You're a fucking songwriter. Get on with it!' So I went out and wrote 'Delta' and 'Guiding Light' that week, as a result of that conversation."
