Here's the song they sang, although this is a different performance of it, as the Brits one isn't online just yet..

Mumfrod & Sons 'Timshel'

"...why do so many of the young acoustic bands these days thrash around like heavy metal bands?.."

Is it because they're young, filled with excitement, vitality and loadsa energy?

I'm sure it'll be on Youtube in the next few days...

Thanks, Jeri..great clip. I bet they never imagined they'd be singing with Bob Dylan!

Now now, Jim, you've said you're fair share about them over on fRoots, none of which has been very er...supportive, so it's no good gettin' all flumpsydowndaisy with me.

These guys are great....

This is probably a good place to ask, why do so many of the young acoustic bands these days thrash around like heavy metal bands? Not knocking the music, just wondering.

Grammy performance, even if it's at Perez Hiltons website. These guys could make banjos cool again.

I honestly don't know if I liked the song, but I LOVED the energy.

Don't presume you know what I think, Lizzie. Leave me out of this. Thanks.

Well, they may not have won a Folk Award, but they've just this second stolen the show at The Brits...

WHAT a performance!

4 lads, I guitar, a banjo and great harmonies....and...no bullshit!

And the audience went wild....probably not as wild as Ian Anderson will go, of course, or Jim Moray...but wild indeed!

Well done, lads.....and hey, folk world, open up your arms and welcome them in....

Oh..and I look forward to seeing them in fRoots some time in the not tooooo distant future...Maybe, even a cover??
