Café Royal Books is the kind of gritty, underground gold that punches through the noise with raw, real stories—told frame by frame. They’re not a café, they’re not royal, and they’re definitely not books. What they are is a razor-sharp archive of DIY photo zines that scream with the unfiltered soul of street life, punk scenes, and counterculture past. No gloss, no polish— just truth, straight from the pavement.

Clive Lawrence — Glastonbury 1995

In the summer of 1995, Glastonbury brought together thousands of music lovers, free spirits, and counterculture outsiders for a weekend of music, mud, and collective freedom. With Britpop in full swing and rave culture reshaping Britain’s youth, the festival became a meeting ground for alternative music, fashion, and self-expression. Through a series of black-and-white photographs, Clive Lawrence captures the people and atmosphere of Glastonbury at a pivotal moment in its history, preserving the raw energy, individuality, and rebellious spirit of a festival on the brink of becoming a global phenomenon.
