   About The Wishing Well



Beguiling orchestral and lush, Melbourne band The Wishing Well create spellbinding sounds which produce a rich tapestry of mesmerizing folk, pop and rock.

Performing together for just over two years, they are relative newcomers to the scene, The Wishing Well however come with an impressive musical maturity and remarkable background. Lead singer Jai Larkan has previously supported artists such as Bob Geldof, Andy White, Liam O'Maonlai and Tim Finn and the band has shared the stage with David Gray, James Morrison, Seal and Joss Stone.

Clearly The Wishing Well have defined their craft in a remarkably short timeframe together, having played an impressive 600 gigs on the international circuit, including playing at the Queenscliff Music Festival (Aus) and The Blue Balls Festival (CH). Music Oz Awards finalists (2007).

The Wishing Well evoke an extraordinary gamut of emotions with their compelling and awe- inspiring arrangements spun around magnificently poetic lyrics. A cacophony of three part harmonies, wistful violin and majestic rhythms all melded to lead singer Jai Larkan’s achingly strong and haunting vocals.

Life On The Border is The Wishing Well’s debut album, which is rich in textural depth, building gradually to dizzying heights only to momentarily pause and cascade into an orchestral crescendo. The album's greatest strength lies within the poetry of the lyrics and dynamic instrumentation. The crowd pleasing Sarah Busuttil's fiery violin solos and flamboyant stage personality brings an added dynamism to the music.

In the melodic tradition of Ryan Adams, David Gray, Dave Matthews Band and The Waterboys, The Wishing Well’s first album Life On The Border appeals to lovers of emotive lyrics and melody. Their inspiring live performances captivate audiences and have created an enthusiastic and ever-growing fanbase.

In addition to their spellbinding live shows, The Wishing Well has also established itself as one of Australia's hardest working independent bands. They continue to book all their own tours, do all their own publicity and finance their own recordings. Since its release in 2008 the band has sold over 5,000 copies of Life On The Border.

May-August 2009, The Wishing Well embarked on their maiden European Tour the success of which will fund their second album due to be recorded in October.

Hope the tour went well...Im sure you must all be shattered after so much travelling!...Hope to be over at the end of this year or early in the New year. My son is off to Ozz on the 20th October, so will have two boys out there so a  great excuse for me to go, not that I need one!
Take care and hope to see you in the near future.
