Medicine Head began life in 1968 when the founding core duo of singer and guitarist John Fiddler and harmonica player Peter Hope-Evans began performing in the Midlands.
They quickly came to the attention of John Peel and -- at the insistence of John Lennon -- the DJ ended up signing the band to his own Dandelion Records.
Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend were also early cheerleaders.
Peel declared the band’s debut 1968 single ‘His Guiding Hand’ to be one of the classics of all time – and a copy featured in his legendary Record Box.
Medicine Head released three albums via Dandelion Records, with Hope-Evans leaving and returning to the fold during that time.
Since then John Fiddler has continued to work, and to release records as Medicine Head
