News from Nick Barrett - Progressive Rock Music Forum

A few thoughts:

1) I will definitely but the album from the band so they get more of the cash directly (God knows they need it)

2) I hope the cover doesn't have a naked dude on it so I can get a shirt that won't make me seem insecure with a naked dude's bum for all to see.

3) It's gonna freakin' rock! I just hope nick continues with the direction Believe brought instead of reverting back to something like The Masquerade Overture (as much as I like it) and Not of this World (too "thick" a sound, IMO).

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

I took this from the Pedragon forum..."Nick's ramblings and news" section... posted this morning...
**********************

Well as you can see there are more Pendragon gigs now confirmed. My oh my it's getting busy! Riffs Christmas gig should be a blast , see if we
can tempt a few Barneys and Julians back for a song or two. [yes, I noticed you asked about them Nicola C!]

We've been getting some excellent reviews of Past And Present, although sales have been a bit slow, not terrible just a bit slower than we'd hoped for.
Neo is also going well too, although some reviewers just don't get it. Twits. They think it's absurd that we are a 'cover's band' covering our own music....duuuhh... oh please.......

I don't do gardening...

One bit o' juicy news is that the new album has the working title of "Pure".

It's about children growing up and how they start out all innocent and then turn into screaming abdabs, and the various paths that they go down with some having it sooooo easy and others struggling just to survive....weird world eh?

Classic Rock Mag recently have done a Prog Rock Special issue with a whole magazine dedicated to Progressive rock, it's all very positive. And Pendragon have about half a page in there, so go check it out!

Classic Rock wondrous interview
I just did an interview wiv dose intrepid boys from de North....actually it was a guy who lives in Gloucester, should be an interview out soon in Wondrous stories....I hope to God they don't print it fun-etic-uly like they usually do...I was finkin'...er..cough cough..sigh..um, de new album er...yeah..it's gud

Fish airplays
The great man playeth our stuff on Planet Rock, ...and was more than complimentary about Believe which is well good! Look forward to seeing Fish next month at Reichenbach and Loreley...should be good....real good! Jethro Tull as well.

I had a writing burst a few weeks ago and am heading straight into one of the next albums new epics, lots of modern feels but also some very old too, that is the 'brief' for this album...I am trying to make a progressive rock album that is both progressive and..... progressive, with some highly modern sounds but done in the old crusty way! Well, gotta take a few chances....spot the Trance keyboard lead in a new song called Indigo...maybe I can get some bits up on this 'ere website soon!

New album coming on well...

Bit of a drag as I gotta stay off the motocross bikes this summer...don't want any broken arms for the festivals do we? Arrrggghhhhhhhh....... I need my adrenaline fix...now where's that jigsaw puzzle?

The Quantocks, where we used to ride our motorbikes..till the Nerc Bill stopped our fun! Ah well.......horse riding maybe???

BTW, we've changed places with the Flower Kings at the Symforce festival, cos they couldn't get flights back to Sweden or something , so we're on earlier...not a bad thing, 7 hours of prog is a hard days night!

OK, look forward to seeing yuz over the Summer! And please, NO silly string at this years Christmas gig at Riff's [hee, hee,......now let's see... tum te tum..Google...Acme Industrial Comedy strings...ah yes!]

Love

N

	Gets me worried hearing Nick talking about sluggish sales lately. I'm hoping a band like Pendragon can weather this storm. I did my part...got Past and Present and plan on watching it tonight. E
