Artist:   Medicine Head

Title:     Don’t Stop The Dance

File:       Rock/Blues

“Vocalist John Fiddler impresses particularly on the lovely double harmonies of “Lay Around” and the two very John Lennon sounding efforts “You Gotta Love Somebody” and “One And One Is One”. The band actually manages to achieve a sound close to the nascent Free, with George Ford supplying a sumptuous fractured bass line on title track.”  Pete Feenstra, Get Ready To Rock

 “Don’t Stop The Dance” fills in the gap during the mid-70’s when the duo of John Fiddler and Peter Hope Evans expanded to a quintet before shrinking back to their grand finale album “Two Man Band”. ‘Don’t Stop The Dance’ features showstoppers like “You Gotta Love Somebody” Jo Anne Green, Allmusic

RELEASE TO DIGITAL SALES APRIL 17TH 2026 …

Welcome to the missing link.

This is the album that completes the MEDICINE HEAD story, the album that could and should have made the unlikely Hitmakers a lasting force in rock’n’roll. These are the recordings from 1974 that most successfully take their early charisma and translate it into something that would appeal to a wider audience.

For decades the album never saw the light of day for various reasons lost in the mist of time, but much due to never fully comfortable transition of a two-man band into a conventional five-piece group.

Medicine Head were always JOHN FIDDLER and PETER HOPE-EVANS, even though others came and went. John’s unmistakable, bluesy powerhouse electric guitar, soulful vocals and especially in their legendary live performances-bass drum and hi hat cymbal and Peter’s awesome harmonica and delicate Jew’s harp.

Included as bonus tracks are live versions of two of Medicine Head’s HIT singles “One And One Is One” Number 3 1973 and “Rising Sun” Number 11 1973.
