Haircut 100 Come Together For Christmas Concert.


From nickheyward.com: "Haircut 100 are now back together again and we play our first concert this Christmas at The Cadogan Hall in London. I will be playing songs from all the solo albums and new material beforehand to warm you all up and get you all in the mood."

Nick Heyward will join former bandmates Graham Jones, Les Nemes, and Blair Cunningham on Dec. 18 for An Evening of Christmas Presence.

Cadogan Hall Programme: Nick Heyward and his band Haircut One Hundred were one of the most innovative bands of the Eighties. Their sunshine Pop fused with funk led a whole legion of fans to jump on their funfilled band wagon to experience the delights of a world filled with Lemon Firebrigades, Favourite Shirts and the delicious possibility of Boy Meets Girl.

Their album Pelican West is a gem of innocent Pop wonder and much loved treasure of many a forty something teenager. Fine memories of HC100 tours are to some the equivalent of the Charlie and the Chocolate factory golden ticket.

Pop Troubadour Heyward went on to a fine solo career starting with the breezy North of a Miracle (1983) album that spawned four hit singles including "Blue Hat For A Blue Day" through to other solo projects Postcards from Home (1986) and I Love you Avenue (1988).

The Nineties for Nick included From Monday to Sunday (1993) and Tangled (1995) both through Sony and The Apple Bed (1998) on Creation. Nick continues writing and will soon release an album of new material. Favourite Songs: The Best of Nick Heyward and Haircut One Hundred is currently available. Nick and Haircut 100 will reunite for this concert in the intimate setting of Cadogan Hall - a Christmas treat.
