Quitting College to Play Drums for Laura Marling
At 24:05 · chapter starts 23:00
Jason asks the pivotal career question: when did you know music was a real path? Marcus's answer is characteristically self-deprecating: he's still not sure. He explains he was studying Greek and Latin at Edinburgh, wasn't having a great time, took a sabbatical, got hired as a session drummer, and — as he puts it — has been on his sabbatical ever since. The job was playing drums for Laura Marling. Carey Mulligan, meanwhile, booked a ticket to a Laura Marling show expecting Laura, heard Mumford & Sons supporting, remembered 'I knew a kid called Mumford', and left her email address with the tour manager — not a phone number, just an email — a move the hosts immediately identify as the classiest possible play.
