Doctor & The Medics

Doctor and the Medics were created at the dawn of the 1980's by The Rev Dr Clive Thomas Jackson just for one show to win a £5 bet.

However, one gig to led to another and they soon discovered that their unique blend of Psychedelia, Glam and Punk Rock was finding an ever-increasing audience. So much so, that by 1985 the NME named them as THE live band of the year! 1985 also saw them top the highly respected Indie Charts, with their Happy but Twisted E.P.

The band's next chart success saw them top the charts in the UK and 28 other countries with Spirit in The Sky, their signature tune and the song that they are best known for the World over.

Often seen as One Hit Wonders, the band did get to number 22 with their next single Burn, however, The Doctor still likes to wear his One Hit Wonder badge with pride, making them the only One Hit Wonder to have had 2 hits!

The band have since continued to tour and gig extensively, their current set consists of much loved 80's covers (All given the unique Medic's treatment) and Medics originals from both the past and present, including tracks from their new album, due to be released later this year. They have been truly established as favourites on the live scene for many many years.
