about
Widdershins were an indie pop band from Australia, active from 1987 to 1990. After The Lighthouse Keepers disbanded in early 1986, Greg Appel and Juliet Ward went on to form the Rainlovers which became Widdershins in 1987 with the addition of James Cruickshank, Peter Timmerman and Barry Turnbull (ex-John Kennedy's Love Gone Wrong). Three years of sporadic playing around Australia to a devoted following and 4 releases on vinyl earned them the respect of critics throughout the country. After a final performance on 30th March 1990 at Sydney University, Widdershins called it a day. Juliet Ward and Peter Timmerman continued with a floating personnel as Hammerhead. Greg Appel formed One Head Jet with Stephen Appel and James Cruickshank joined The Cruel Sea.
