Them Psychedelic Gypsies
After Van Morrison disbanded what were indisputably Northern Ireland‘s finest R&B band, Them, in 1966, some members re-emerged with a new band, The Belfast Gypsies.
Playing a tougher, more psychedelic style of R&B (now often labelled freakbeat), they made just one album, entitled Them Belfast Gypsies (issued on Sonet) in 1967 before dissolving. Cherry Red now represent the rights to all of the band’s recordings.
