The Wisharts

The Wisharts

The Wishart Family, comprising siblings Mavis, Linda and Brian, bring a blend of acoustic folk with roots in bluegrass and early country, their songs coming from all of those genres.

Their material extends from early ballads (their first and abiding inspiration was the Carter Family) to more recently-penned pieces from contemporary singer/songwriters such as Tim o’Brien or most recently the Gibson Brothers of Upper New York State. Their repertoire often includes their own arrangements of songs written by Linda.

They have been performing regularly over the years throughout the isles, frequently appearing at folk festivals as well as at many other venues large and small, and at events from formal to more relaxed and intimate.
