Widdershins was an Australian indie pop band, active from 1987 to 1989. 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 small, devoted following and a number of releases on vinyl including the album 'Ascension' earned them the respect of critics throughout the country. Widdershins called it a day after a final performance on 30 March 1990 at Sydney University. British label Egg Records released the compilation album 'Good Songs 1987-1989' in 2005. James Cruickshank died in 2015.
