The Higsons were a funky group from Norwich featuring Charlie Higson who later became a very successful comedian/writer and Terry Edwards, a musician who has played with just about everyone - including Robyn Hitchcock. The Higsons had a record "Gotta let this heat out". So Robyn thought he heard them singing "gotta let this hen out". The sleeve notes of this when it came out on as a single said it was recorded "In a barn in Sussex not far from where Dennis Healey lives" (the things that stick in your mind). Healey lived in Alfriston. I'd love to draw a connection between this and East Grinstead, but they aren't particularly close to each other. Incidentally those sleeve notes also pointed out that one of the rhythm instruments on the track was "a wok, half full of water".
