A MEDICAL MIRACLEIn theory, Medicine Head never stood a chance of cracking the charts. And one of them would have preferred it that way. But success found this most individual and unlikely 70s “band” – whether they liked it or not. John Fiddler and the often-silent Peter Hope-Evans tell their tale to Nick Dalton For like-minded dropouts who barely regarded themselves as an act, suddenly finding that … ARTICLE From Issue 415 |

Opening with Toiler On The Sea, the band played a …
