Now
Thirty years have passed. It’s an anniversary of sorts, and once more, Ken thought it time to see what happened if we tried to make some music together.
Caedmon was always a weird mixture of musicians and their musical influences jostling to find some space to work together. With thirty years to establish and cement those disparate styles, what could this bizarre mixture bring to the table?
Jim doesn’t use a fuzz box to try and rock out quietly, Ken plays everything including the cello, Simon has dropped the bongos for a full drum kit, Sam now plays a gut throbbing five string bass, and Angela… Well Angela has officially retired. Now she’s a working vet, and possibly the only member of that student band that actually does what she trained for at university.
So how has the music changed in those thirty years? Well, we’ve no idea, but we’re all getting together this year, and if you’re interested in what happens, then caedmonsreturn.com is the only place to visit.

Guys,
Enjoyed looking at your web site and congratulations on living another 30 years, despite the heavy drinking of communion wine which I witnessed with dismay.
I see Flash is still giving out instructions to drummers…. guitarists are Gods !

Hi there thought I’d left a message yesterday but it obviously didn’t go through. Just wanted to say Hi to Angela – I worked with her at a vets in Halifax way back then. I have your record – its been to Canada and was one of the few treasures I brought back with me. Nice to see this site – can’t stop singing Ten Maidens Fair now!!

Just popped upstairs to look for my original recording, looked everywhere, nothing but John Prine,Kursall flyers, Red box and the Alpha band !
