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. 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.

The Pogues

The Pogues are a popular Irish folk rock band of the 1980s and 90s. They have a strong following, essentially inventing celtic punk and having a large influence on the larger celtic fusion scene as well. The Pogues were founded in King's Cross, a district in north London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone — "pogue mahone" being the Anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse." The band specialized in Irish folk music, often playing with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.
