Jimmy Regal and The Royals are thrilled to announce the release of their latest album, and their very first live recording, "Live at Elephant and Castle". This electrifying album captures the magic of their sold-out show at Temple of Art and Music in South London, a night that marked the first full play of their acclaimed studio album, "First and Last Stop".

Recorded during the pinnacle of their 2023/2024 album promotional tour, this special one-night-only performance was an unforgettable event. The band, consisting of Joff Watkins (harp, vox), Sammy Samuels (drums), and CJ Williams (guitar), were joined on stage by a stellar lineup of guest musicians: Titch Walker (trumpet), John O’Neill (sax), Alan Hughes (djembe and percussion), Toby Kinder (keys), John Heal (bass), and Tricia Davies Nearn (backing vox).
"Live at Elephant and Castle" is released on the first anniversary of the show, featuring the first full live performance of "First and Last Stop", which brings the album to life with raw energy and soulful musicianship. From the fiery opening track "Burn It Down" to the poignant "Empty Streets" and the anthemic "Got To Make A New Flame", each song is delivered with the passion and intensity that Jimmy Regal and The Royals are renowned for.
This limited edition, bootleg-style CD, restricted to just 100 pieces, allows fans to own a piece of this unforgettable night. It’s more than just a recording; it’s a keepsake, a tangible memory of a landmark performance in the band's career.
