Dr. Strangely Strange, an experimental Irish folk group formed in Dublin in 1967, is renowned for their eclectic blend of folk pop, folk rock, and psychedelic folk. Founded by Tim Booth (vocals, guitar) and Ivan Pawle (bass, keyboards), they were later joined by multi-instrumentalist Tim Goulding. Their debut album, "Kip of the Serenes" (1969), produced by Joe Boyd, showcased their avant-garde style. The follow-up, "Heavy Petting" (1970), featured contributions from guitarist Gary Moore. After disbanding in 1971, the group reunited in the 1980s and continues to perform, releasing "Anti-Inflammatory" in April 2025.
