The Incredible String Band is a Scottish psychedelic folk band that was founded in 1966. Hailing from Edinburgh and Glasgow, they have become renowned for their unique blend of folk, psychedelia, and world music influences.

With their captivating soundscapes and intricate harmonies, The Incredible String Band has captivated audiences around the world. Their music often incorporates a wide range of instruments such as sitars, flutes, mandolins, and various traditional folk instruments.

Influenced by artists like Pearls Before Swine, Pentangle, and Fairport Convention among others; The Incredible String Band has left an indelible mark on the folk music scene. Their experimental approach to songwriting sets them apart from their contemporaries and continues to inspire musicians today.

The Incredible String Band were a psychedelic folk band formed by Clive Palmer, Robin Williamson and Mike Heron in Scotland in 1966. The band built a considerable following, especially in the British counterculture, notably with their albums The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, and Wee Tam and the Big Huge. They became pioneers in psychedelic folk and, through integrating a wide variety of traditional music forms and instruments, in the development of world music. Following Palmer's early departure, Williamson and Heron performed as a duo, later augmented by other musicians. The band split up in 1974. The Circle is Unbroken is a double CD collection of the the Chelsea Demo Sessions from 1967 plus a live recording from Canada in 1972.
