Mumford & Sons star Ben Lovett has revealed how the band were once told to 'go home' by an angry woman at a show in Calcutta, which he rates as the band's worst ever.
The band has revealed their worst ever live experiences came when they were promoting their debut album Sigh No More across the world, saying they regret their choice to perform at as many locations as possible to spread their sound.
"The time we went to India... It wasn't really our fault," said keyboardist Ben Lovett when asked about the band's worst live experience in a new interview with The Sun newspaper. "The infrastructure just wasn't there for touring. One night in Calcutta a woman was shouting at us to go home."
"Your first album is always a learning process. You're scared to miss things and feel you have to play as many places as you can but we had some awful shows that we won't want to repeat...
"In Hyderabad, we had to resort to being a trip-hop band as we couldn't hire any instruments we needed. Ben was there with a little Casio keyboard like the one kids play on. It was literally toy instruments. Only 15 people turned up - and they were all English anyway."
The band return on 21 September with their new album Babel, which includes current Top Twenty single 'I Will Wait'.
