Bio
The Wishbones started to write music together in the spring of 2007 in the New Forest, an ancient woodland and wilderness on the Southern coast of England. Life long friends Sam, Phil and Alex have undoubtedly been influenced by the folklore beneath their feet and the ancient landscape surrounding them, which remains almost unchanged for 1000 years. The mighty oak trees provided timber for Nelson’s fleet and Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice In Wonderland, is buried in the local church...

“I first discovered this group at the frank music battle of the bands gig at Plymouth University, being there all night we saw some great bands. Yet while we were sipping our beers the organizer announced the next group was due to play soon, he only said “the wishbones” and the crowd went insane.
Four dudes walk on stage with numerous instruments including: a banjo, slide guitar, ukulele plus all the guitars and drum kits. Then they start to play the crowd still going wild, the music was awesome a cross between folk- rock and reggae, I immediately fell in love. The music was chilled out; funky yet still had the excitement that music needs to gear up a good night. I’ve never seen an act that work so well with the audience, all night it was screams and applause which led to the wishbones winning the night and overall coming runners up in the whole country! I was addicted.
