A Chicken to Hug
A brand new album of twelve recently penned songs from Caedmon’s original line up: Angela Webb (Naylor), Jim Bisset, Ken Patterson, Sam Wilson and Simon Jaquet. The much loved fragile female vocals, searing electric guitar licks, ‘cello, mandolin and bass remain from the ’70’s sound; now supplemented with accordion, drum kit, trombone, and whistle.
32 years on from their eponymous album ‘Caedmon’ the content of the songs is personal, poignant and sometimes challenging. Acoustic folk, mixed, in well judged doses, with jazz, soul, African and gospel groove.
The album is available in a variety of formats: a limited CD digipak special initial release (1000 copies), complete with an eight page booklet from Amazon, or digital download from Amazon or iTunes.

Saw the “Jim clutches vinyl” photo on MySpace, with Jim looking deid-pan as he holds what does indeed appear to be a 12″ record [cover anyway] of “A Chicken To Hug” as if to say “I’ve got it on vinyl, you’ve only got it on CD, ner ner ne ner nyah!”). So, is the vinyl going on sale to us fans (I am one of the lucky ones living within an hour’s bus ride of John Knox’s House!) at some point in the near future, or is this a one-off band-only test pressing destined to be even rarer than the 1978 legend? Yes, I bought the CD… and if yous ever announce another reunion gig(s) I’ll be champing at the bit (again)!
Hi Duncan,
What can i say; appearances can be deceptive?
We are hoping to do a gig sometime this year, but no dates yet…
Greek fan needs desperately a vinyl of it!
