about

In a land long ago, the teenage Phil Royal was inspired to leave home and join the hippy movement. Many years later, he wrote down his most memorable experiences and his reflections on them. This extraordinary personal account came to the attention of the musical wizard Icarus Peel and this new album ‘Waiting for the Light’ is the result of their collaboration.
If you are at all offended by references to recreational drug use or criticism of organised religion then this album is not for you!
The joys and hopes of those times are refreshing but Phil also faces the pains and fears unflinchingly and his later reflections on what can only be described as supernatural experiences are full of insight. This is truth, there is no mythology!
Anybody who lived through those times or still living that dream will find much they can relate to and for those fascinated by the period this will be an invaluable source.
Brilliant arrangements by Icarus Peel and playing by the full band will delight the ear of many who just want to enjoy a damn good album!
Never before has the reality of the early hippy movement been told with such clarity. This is a unique album that will live far beyond its release.
