Winston Marshall: "In that period between my apology and my retraction, someone sent me the essay, 'Live Not by Lies,' which Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn published in 1974 as he was being exiled from Moscow. It’s about five pages long and I must have read that at least five times in that period. I kept coming back to it because there’s a paragraph that says something like, 'How dare you call yourself an artist if you’re not prepared to live by the truth or tell the truth?'"
For many years, Winston Marshall was the banjo player in the famous British folk rock band Mumford & Sons. In 2021, he sent a tweet congratulating Andy Ngo for his book, "Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy."
His tweet ignited a firestorm and Winston came under immense pressure to apologize for his tweet. Which he did - and later retracted: ‘...it was bad that I had apologized, because by apologizing I participated in a lie.’
Winston left the band and today, three years later, he’s the host of The Winston Marshall Show and co-founder of the Dissident Dialogues festival of ideas, which held its first gathering in the spring of 2024 in Brooklyn, New York City: "I now feel it’s my duty to speak the truth as I see it. Why make that sacrifice and then not speak the truth?"
