Ted Dwayne from Mumford & Sons told today's Observer that selling out concerts is just as exciting as winning their first ever BRIT Award.

Dwayne said: "We were elated winning a Brit, but in the same way we were elated to sell out the Luminaire in Kilburn after our first EP was released. It's the same sense of joy that people like us."

Dwayne recounted the surreal moment that the band found out they had won at the prestigious BRITS last Tuesday: 

He said: "By the time we won the award for best album for Sigh No More, we'd already lost twice, and if I'm honest by then I had got stuck into the whiskey. Then we got up there and had no idea which way to look, so we were all turning around looking for the camera. Then James Corden ran up and said: "You've got six more seconds" or something, and that was that. After that we just continued to get drunk!"
