Listen to the combined talents of Phil Royal with musicians Icarus Peel, Crystal Jacqueline and others. . .

Phil’s experiences as a young hippy have been set to music and an album  – WAITING FOR THE LIGHT – will be released in November.

Leo O’Kelly (Tir na nOg):  “Fabulous! Beautiful! Wild! I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this! This will be a classic!”

Johnny Dowd: “very cool buddy!”

The album is available for partial download and pre-ordering here.

And here’s the video.
