Active compensatory factors: The Wishing Tree is a side project for Marillion's ace guitarist Steve Rothery plus singer Hannah Stobart and Paul Craddick (from the prog rock band Enchant) who is also Hannah's husband. Ostara is their second album.

Hannah has a beautiful, distinctive voice in the floaty folky Celtic tradition. The whole album perfectly captures the special chemistry between Rothery and Stobart - their talents mesh beautifully.
Where do they all belong? The project ended with this second album as Rothery returned to Marillion duties.
