Hard on the heels of publication of the first ever biography of the ‘East meets West’ progressive act, Quintessence comes an extensive podcast on the band and its riding London in the late ’60s and ’70s on Jason Barnard’s always-entertaining The Strange Brew.

Band vocalist Phil ‘Shiva’ Jones tells the story from his home in Iowa and it’s gripping stuff, spanning his successful start on the R’nB scene in Sydney to relocating to the UK, playing the first Glastonbury and later the Royal Albert Hall, and then on to the US for further reinvention and m-a-n-y adventures!
