An interview with Nick Heyward of Haircut 100, about their 2025 tour with Howard Jones, which song of theirs from their history feels different today, the musical nature of Haircut 100, how 2024 single "The Unloving Plum" compares to the music on their upcoming album, what to look for on the upcoming solo compilation "The Epic And Creation Years 1993-98," and more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are deliriously honored to have Nick Heyward return to the podcast to discuss his upcoming tour with Howard Jones (starts on the 2nd) and Deep Dive some of the Pelican West album with us. I say "some" because he only had an hour and we only covered five songs. BUT, there are enough goodies in the conversation, I have no doubt you'll enjoy hearing about how he made this perfect album (and the only one he made with the band before going solo). It's so nice having Haircut 100 a growing concern again after so many years. This tour is going to be amazing! Look for me at the Salt Lake City show!

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.

"Fantastic Day" Formed in 1980 in London, the new wave funk outfit Haircut 100 are one of those bands that tore right out of the gates. A top four single Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) before even having a record out was a pretty propelling start. That record came in the form of 1982's platinum seller Pelican West, which not only went to #2 on the UK albums chart, it spawned more Top 10 singles like Love Plus One, Fantastic Day and Nobody's Fool. Singer Nick Heyward, left the band after their debut and embarked on a brilliant solo career, which yielded hit singles like Whistle Down The Wind and Blue Hat For A Blue Day, along with flawless albums like North Of A Miracle, From Monday To Sunday and The Apple Bed. And now Haircut 100 are back, playing shows across the U.K. including Glastonbury and North America in August and you should see them if you can because they've never sounded better. And I believe new music is on the way, which is very exciting. For my money, Nick Heyward is one of the most brilliant songwriters of all time. It's hard to think of someone who writes with such elegance, finesse and melodic muscle. He's a master craftsman, a writer with poetic poise and harmonic genius. I think this guy's practically peerless and his work has meant so much to me for a very long time. www.haircut100.com (http://www.haircut100.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Who ruins some perfectly good white aran sweaters by laying on some filthy leaf litter? These larrikins, that's who. With a boy band look and a new wave sound, this group had so much potential. So why did we find them in the dollar bin? Show notes: Music Around Us - the Australian documentary that explored New Wave music The Clancy Brothers, wearing Aran sweaters decades before Haircut 100

One of the founding groups of heavy metal is Judas Priest, and their eighth studio album entitled Screaming for Vengeance would be their commercial breakthrough album for North America. In addition to the distincive vocals of Rob Halford, the Judas Priest lineup for this album included K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton on guitars, Ian Hill on bass, and Dave Holland on drums.Judas Priest was formed in 1969, but did not issue a record on a major label until 1977 and their third studio album. Their sixth studio album, British Steel, was the first to feature Dave Holland on drums and is considered their high water mark by most critics. However, Screaming for Vengeance would find both heavy metal and mainstream rock success Friends of the show Joe Davis and John Lynch join us for this album while Bruce and Brian are away. The HellionThe lead track to the album is this short instrumental that builds to Electric Eye.Electric EyeThis track follows The Hellion on the album and is often the leading song at Judas Priest concerts. The inspiration comes from George Orwell's 1984 - the electric eye is the camera that the totalitarian government uses to watch over all in the dystopian community. While not released as a single, this is a well known song played on rock stations at the time.Riding the WindA deeper cut, this is everything you would want in a metal song - fast drums, screaming guitars, and high vocals in a minor key. “Tearin' up through life million miles an hour! Blindin' all in sight, surgin' rush of power! Well I'm riding, riding on the wind.”You Got Another Thing ComingThe first single released from the album is now one of Judas Priest's signature songs. It reached number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it is the only Judas Priest song to make that chart. The song reflects the idea of taking life by the horns, and not letting anything stand between you and your dreams. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Raised on the Radio by the Ravyns (from the motion picture “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”)This movie came out in August of 1982, and would be a mainstay of midnight movies throughout the 80's. This song is the leading track from the motion picture soundtrack album.STAFF PICKS:Favourite Shirts by Haircut 100Rob's staff pick is also known as "Boy Meets Girl." Haircut 100 is one of the New Wave bands which was a part of the second British Invasion. It is a fast song with a conga feel. Everybody Wants You by Billy SquierFriend of the show Joe Davis features the lead track from Squier's album "Emotions In Motion." It hit number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent six weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The lyrics reflect the hazards of leaning on superficial looks.Eye of the Tiger by SurvivorFriend of the show John Lynch brings us the main theme from Rocky III." It was also the title song from their third album, and the single was released a day before the movie. Naturally it rapidly climbed the charts and was the number 1 song for the month of August 1982. Beyond Belief by Elvis CostelloWayne's staff pick is a deep cut off Costello's album "Imperial Bedroom." A very complex and multi-layered song, the lyrics are also quite clever. "Keep your finger on important issues/ with crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues." INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Nuevo York by SantanaSantana's distinctive Latin infused guitar licks take us out on this week's podcast.

Nick Heyward has built a reputation as one of Britain's finest songwriters. His initial success came by fronting Haircut 100 in the early 80s and scoring major hits with "Love Plus One" and "Fantastic Day". Bad vibes led him to leave the band and go out on his own where he had continued success with standards like "Whistle Down the Wind" and "Kite". He's also racked up several excellent solo albums including 2017's wonderful Woodland Echoes, his first disc in almost 20 years. Here we talk about why he left Haircut 100 and how that relatively small period of time has overshadowed the rest of his career in some ways. We also talk about what took him so long to put out another solo album and what he's working on now. He's a beautifully funny and engaging guy and one of the best there's ever been at what he does. http://nickheyward.com/
