Secret Green was a British rock band, founded in 2007, by Francis Lickerish, Hilary Palmer, and Jon Beedle; later additions William Gilmour and Matt Hodge completed the line-up. Musicians Paul Carr, Dave Brooks, Jamie Brooks, Brian Mitchell, and Mike Hicks were employed for live work.

Guitarist, lutenist, and composer Francis Lickerish was a founder member of the art-rock band The Enid. Along with Robert John Godfrey and William Gilmour, he was one of the main contributors to The Enid's sound. He has also appeared as a session musician in several unexpected places, such as Kim Wilde's "Kids in America", and on former Incredible String Band member Malcolm LeMaistre's solo album.

After a 20-year break from music, Lickerish began writing Secret Green's To Wake the King album in 2006, which was released in May 2009.
