Created 29 years ago by Dr. Clive Thomas Jackson, Doctor and the Medics have had a very colourful and successful career as both recording artists and performers. Undoubtedly they are been best known for their massive 1986 No 1 “Spirit in the Sky,” which sold over 23 Million copies world wide and was number 1 in 18 countries!! They are also recognised as a great live act, in 1985 the NME referred to them as "THE live band of the year."
Often promoted as 1 hit wonders, the band claim to be the only 1 hit wonder to have had 2 hits as their next single “Burn,” got to number 21!!
The last chart entry was “Waterloo” which they recorded with Roy Wood.
In addition the band have recorded 4 albums.
The present line up has been together since 1999 and has developed a unique and sensationally flamboyant live show that celebrates the last 30 yrs of rock and just has to be seen to be believed . They play a selection of covers to suit any venue or crowd, from Families to Festivals! Such is the power of their performance that they produced the shock result of the TV show "Hit Me Baby One More Time," when they won the studio vote for best act against Jackie Graham, Belinda Carlisle and....................... SHAKIN STEVENS!!!
In 2008 The Doctor was finally acknowledged by his home town when he was invited to perform to 8,000 people in the Liverpool Arena alongside Atomic Kitten, The lightening Seeds, The Christians, Gerry and the Pacemakers and many more for the “Number 1 Project.”
2011 is the 25th Anniversary of “Spirit in the Sky,” and the band are as busy as ever.
