Dr Strangely Strange: "Kip of the Serenes Concert" Part One

What's this got to do with fortean zoology? I hear you ask. Well, quite a lot really. Not only are they the people who's music has graced `On the Track` since we first started in September 2007, but they sing songs about minotaurs, giant wasps, and girls who are really gulls. They also happen to be very good, and to have made some of the most fragile-ly (if that is a word) beautiful music I have ever heard.

Dr Strangely Strange are one of the greatest unsung heroes of the psychedelic folk music of the late 1960s and early 1970s. They split in 1970 after their second album, but have reconvened on an occasional basis ever since. On Saturday night, to mark the reissue of their debut album `Kip of the Serenes` they played a rare London concert (only the third, I believe, in 39 years) at which they played `Kip of the Serenes` in its entirety. CFZtv were there, and filmed the whole thing. With the band's permission we will be broadcasting the entire concert...
