My favourite band of all time! This was back in 2005 and they are still going as strong as ever now in 2024..love them!
I love seeing people discover what a fantastic group of musicians The Waifs are. They just make you smile whenever you see them play. 👌👌🙏🙏❤❤
They are simply the best! I have been a fan for many years...
The waifs are a national treasure
They love doing what they do, best aussie band in a long time
The Waifs are Australian legends and so much fun to listen to. The joy they display in their music is infectious.
I like that the girls' Aussie accents come through. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
There's a great story I heard them tell at a show. The girls' grandfather (also a harmonica player) got seriously ill and was hospitalized while the girls were learning to play. One of them decided to play for him for the first time- obviously a pretty emotional thing. She accidentally made a horrible noise partway through "Edelweiss" and her granddad looked at her with a straight face and broke the tension with "Well, you're not very bloody good yet, are ya?"
One of my favorites- just so much rhythm and life in this music
Incredible band. Their energy is so Tangible. The Harmonica player is phenomenal.
They are energetic and infectious live, a long standing Aussie band, i think they are on tour in Australia for the next few months, and they do visit remote areas, as they are a band that was born in a remote area, Albany Western Australia are their origins. Their big hit was "I'm in London still", a band their paid their dues in the Aussie Pubs.
Yes, they are currently on tour. I'm going to see them in Brissy on Thursday night. Can't wait.
Vicki Thorne (singer and harmonica player) also has her own solo project called Thornbird which i'd recommend checking out if you loved her vocals :)
I got turned on to the waifs back in 2003 when they played on one of the national mornings shows promoting their "Up All Night" album, I've been hooked ever since. I would suggest listening to Love Serenade from their 3rd album.
Love the Waifs. Still gets a fairly regular play in my house. Love all this sort of music, bluegrass, folk, rockabilly, trad jazz, stride jazz, even country, all good.
Check out their song Bridal Train......great lyrics you will enjoy it.
Waifs pronounce Wafes. A Waif is usually a Motherless child a Stray. They are an amazing band. 🌠🏴
Best Aussie independent band ever. I’ve seen them live several times and they are so good. The 2 females are sisters vikkie is one of the best harp players
Vikki is a gem... the waifs are truly a fav of mine...so lucky to see them live in my hometown. If you think Vikki sounds great here check out her singing 'Papa' live....amazing!!!
Oh and pronounced 'wafes' 🤟
🔥❤️🔥
Another good one from them is London Still.
Willow Tree is a great song too.
Great performance.Reminds me of Emmylou Harris' Mystery Train, with a more bluesy feel.
The brother makes all their instruments himself how cool is that?
We don't see many women take up the harmonica. Vikki is one of the best. Male or female.
Vikki & Donna are sisters, and formed the band back in '91 or '92 I think. They have a really comprehensive catalogue of performances.
I remember a huge thing for the band, was when Bob Dylan took them on tour with him across America.
GREAT band! I met Donna (1st singer) in the New Orleans Tower Records while browsing records in 2002. Darlin' Aussie accent asking me if Neil Young's, "Rust Never Sleeps", is good? 10 minutes later I'm watching them perform in the store. Completely smitten and blown away...
FYI & FWIW
As someone said below, the guitar player, Josh Cunningham, is a luthier and he builds all of their acoustic instruments.

Love this song , the har is a incredible .
I can definitely get into this it is quite similar to what Neil Young would play very bluesy and folksy totally love this style of music. I know I have heard of them but in all honesty I completely forgot about them. I know I have an album of their now I am going to look for it, thanks for the awesome reaction Casey this seriously brought back some good memories.
100%
I'm glad you like The Waifs. They have a live double CD called "A Brief History" which is one of my favourite albums. It's a "best of" really and covers all their early material. It's available on youtube but without vision, unfortunately. I'd recommend a listen. If not as a reaction then in your own time,
A little bluegrass is good.
🤘😎🤘
Playing the harmonica is not as hard as you think. It is all muscle memory. Once your sub conscious mind has the notes it is all automatic. Once you have that it is a very easy instrument to play. 6 months approx to get the needed muscle memory.
Lighthouse us a mad song
Oops is a mad song!
Saw them at Taronga Zoo ( Sydney) two weeks ago. They killed the sold out audience on a perfect warm night.
Read the Wiki page for both girls and for the guitar player. Interesting information on the 3.
