About

Dr. Strangely Strange is an experimental/psychedelic Irish folk group formed in Dublin in 1967, recording two albums and touring widely before splitting up in May 1971. The band has reunited a number of times for tours and one-off live performances and also recorded a third album in 1996.

Founded by Tim Booth and Ivan Pawle in Dublin in 1967, Humphrey Weightman (guitar) played with them for their first show, in October 1967. Brian Trench (keyboards, vocals) played shows through 1968 until multi-instrumentalist Tim Goulding joined. Caroline "[a=Linus (15)]" Greville (percussion/vocals) was a member 1968-69. Gary Moore often augmented the band live on various instruments 1968-69, and also played lead guitar on the second album, in 1970. Drummer Neil Hopwood joined in 1970. Goulding left in early 1971, replaced by Gay Woods and Terry Woods for a 6-week European tour, after which the group dissolved.

Tim Booth led a new lineup through 1973. All other reunion lineups have have included [a=Tim Booth (2)], Tim Goulding, Ivan Pawle, and - since 1980 - Joe Thoma, sometimes augmented by other players as well.
