One
of Ireland's top beat-groups, The Strangers came from Balbriggan in
Co. Dublin. Fronted by Jimmy Fanning, they released a few singles
including "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" b/w "Mary, Mary" which
reached No.6 in the Irish charts and a Ray Davies song, "I'm On An
Island". The Strangers augmented and became a
showband for a short time in the
late '60s.
