MEDICINE HEAD
JOHN FIDDLER, PETER HOPE-EVANS
Formed in Stafford, England in 1968, the British blues duo Medicine Head were comprised
of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist John Fiddler and Peter Hope-Evans, who played the harmonica and jew's harp.
Upon their formation at art college, Medicine Head became a staple of the local club circuit, eventually recording
a demo which found its way to influential BBC radio personality John Peel, who began championing
the track "His Guiding Hand." Other DJs soon followed suit, and quickly the duo was on the brink of stardom

This was one of many bands brought to prominence by DJ John Peel, after they sent him a tape,
he signed them to his Dandelion label. They started out as a duo gigging in the Midlands.
Their early albums conjured up a very sparse understated atmosphere and contained several love songs.
A highlight of their debut album was His Guiding Hand, which was also issued as a 45.
They enjoyed Chart success with Pictures In The Sky but then the eccentric Hope-Evans quit
and they reformed as a trio (line-up B) with ex-Yardbird Keith Relf on bass.
Before 1972 was over, Hope-Evans turned up again and they reverted back to a duo a
ugmented by session musicians ...(Tapestry of Delights)
