Wishville is the U.K. band Catherine Wheel's fifth and final album. Released in 2000 (see 2000 in music), it is the band's only album not to feature bassist Dave Hawes, who was fired prior to its recording; without a permanent bassist, the band focuses on guitar-centered hard rock arrangements. The album's primary single released was "Sparks Are Gonna Fly".
