In this episode of the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson sits down with pop-funk singer/songwriter Nick Heyward of Haircut 100 whose 1982 album Pelican West featured a string of iconic hits including 'Love Plus One' and 'Favorite Shirts."
Over the last 25 years, Haircut 100 has reunited several times for UK shows, and in 2024, the original band will embark on their first USA tour in 40 years, sharing the bill with ABC and Howard Jones.
In this episode, Nick and I delve into the early days of Haircut 100, their rise to fame, and the cultural waves that influenced their unique pop-funk sound. We explore the band's journey from the streets of London to their groundbreaking success, and how their music evolved over time.
Nick also shares stories from their memorable US tour in the early '80s, the challenges that came with sudden fame, and the eventual disbandment. We discuss his solo career, working with legendary producer Geoff Emerick, and the bittersweet reality of going solo.
Looking forward, Nick talks about the band's upcoming US tour, the excitement of reuniting, and the joy of creating new music together. He reflects on the band's enduring friendship and the management that now supports their journey.
Join us for a nostalgic and insightful conversation with Nick Hayward, as we celebrate the legacy of Haircut 100 and look forward to their future endeavors.
