NICK BARRETT LIVES IN NEST SHOCKER!!

Pendragon front man leads bizarre double life - EXCLUSIVE

Nick "Bullfinch" Barrett has a secret giant sized nest hidden away in the depths of Berkshire countryside, Silhobbit can exclusively reveal. The nest, which was probably built by “Birdman” Barrett, is stashed lull of pornographic magazines, photographs of bird seed and boxes Jaffa CakesÔ.

The shocking truth behind the "Jackel'n'Hyde" lie that Nick "Buzzard" Barrett is living was revealed only by chance when a Silhobbit reporter followed him from his house whilst reporting for the 'Ear to the Ether' column, hoping to pickup some news as to what the “new" Pendragon material was sounding like. Our reporter, who is not being named for fear of reprisals, was not leaded to the recording studio but to “Birdy” Barrett’s secret NEST hideaway, on the land of a secluded disused farm copse which is in the middle of nowhere in Berkshire.

Once at the nest “Blue Tit” Barrett (who has been the founder guitarist singer since the band started up in 1961) carried a box out from his car, which contained tools. Our reporter watched "Blackbird" Barrett cut twigs and branches from trees and then take them to his giant man-made nest. Then he began repairing a damaged area, carefully weaving the branches into his nest, just like a pigeon would with its beak. He new what he was doing and it didn't take him long to do.

Having done this, "Blackcap" Barrett sat down in his giant nest and cat some Jaffa CakesÔ. Our reporter saw "Brambling'. Barrett reading but it wasn't until be left that it became apparent that his nest is full up with thousands of pornographic magazine, many revealing explicit pictures of naked young females.

Silhobbit watched his nest using the latest in surveillance technology, the Digi-Ultraviolet-Sensor­Scanning-Camera (or DUvSSC). Unfortunately he failed to return to his nest during the week that we had the camera. Our conclusion is that he gets his nest ready for the summer where he might invite other members ₀f Prog bands for lurid parties. Probably including drugs and kinky sex sessions with the bands groupies or Tracy Hitchens.

One thing is probably for certain, Nick "Blue Headed Wagtail" Barrett’s bizarre lifestyle may be his only outlet from the fast pace of the Progressive rock scene. It would be only too easy for magazines such as 'Background' and 'The Organ' to scoff at Nick "Branta Canadensis" Barratt and poke cruel fun at his expense. We would rather just give you the plain facts. Silhobbit would be foolish to try to've sensationalised this bizarre tale of one mans attempt to live like a Wild bird. Spending hours in the recording studios and months on the road, one must surely become an almost constitutionally stigmatised and homogenised Man-made machine. We must be thankful that his nest gives him the seclusion that he wants’ and needs’. Let us not judge 'Barn Owl' Barratts eccentric, indeed rustic way of life as perhaps it was thanks to the 'Tarzan and the animals' way of life that he has adopted that gave him the space to write such superb songs such as Victims of Life and Hunting Deer.

On one final note we should point out that we, all of us, strongley feel that every person on this planet lives to a different standards. Let us not judge a person on their opinions. Unless they think that genesis need Phil Collins.

GOD BLESS YOU "BIRDMAN" BARRATT. WE ALL LOVE YOU AND UNDERSTAND.
