We called ourselves Mumford & Sons because we liked the idea of an old-fashioned, family-owned store. Winston Marshall Read Quote
Once you’re out there in front of people, I don’t think there’s any choice than to just give it your all. Winston Marshall Read Quote

I play banjo, and in Britain, it’s easy to get away with playing banjo because you don’t often see it on U.K. stages. In America, people know when you’re a good banjo player, so I was really nervous about playing out there. But we actually went down really well. Winston Marshall Read Quote
