Order your copy of 'To Wake The King' from Secret Green's official website.
  
'the music is sheer quality'. ... the instrumental sections of this piece are as grandiose, epic, stimulating, invigorating and exciting as anything The Enid did in their prime. A marvellous album - DPRP.net
a really wonderful album and one which deserves to be heard by a wider audience... I love everything about this... So, do yourself a favour, buy yourself a copy and spread the word ... the time may indeed have come 'To Wake The King!' - NEW HORIZONS
Francis Lickerish's new band Secret Green, and the release of 'To Wake The King' sees the return of a truly great artist. The album is beautifully and lavishly presented in a triple gate fold digipak complete with 18 page booklet and full album lyrics.
Francis Lickerish is most famous as the guitarist, composer and founder member of 70's classic progressive rock band The Enid, with whom he recorded the legendary albums In the Region of the Summer Stars, Aerie Faerie Nonsense, Touch Me & Six Pieces.
  
Secret Green are; Francis Lickerish (guitars / orchestra / lute), Hilary Palmer (vocals / flute), Willie Gilmour (keyboards), Jon Beedle (guitars) and Matt Hodge (drums and percussion). The album includes very special guest performances by Robert John Godfrey, (keyboards), Dave Storey (drums) and Jason Ducker (guitars) of The Enid.
"A wonderfully evocative musical melange of folk, progressive and classical themes - this is classical English rock. Secret Green have no agenda - but they are celebrating the core values of a bygone age. And doing it remarkably well" - Total Rock Radio
Francis says of 'To Wake The King' and his band;
Secret Green to me represents the lost soul of England . William Blake described the industrial revolution as The Death of Childhood. The decades that followed became known as the Disenchantment of the World. Secret Green is where the flames of Albion are kept alight and alive. Secret Green is elsewhere; a village green where magic and ritual are alive and where the broken heart of England is kept beating and nursed back to true health. On Secret Green you might find Merlin, Nimue, Morris men, Mummers, maypoles and all the outlandish folk and creatures of the real England.
