Biography

They were successful from the beginning, with 1981's "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" single, setting the stage for the breakthrough success of Pelican West album in 1982. The "Love Plus One" single was even bigger than anything previous, and Haircut 100 seemed poised for stardom just as Heyward decided to seek a solo career. The remainder of the band tried to continue with the Paint and Paint album (with percussionist Mark Fox taking over Heyward's vocal duties) in 1984, but they broke up soon after. Paint And Paint is the second album by British 80s Haircut One Hundred. ...

Nick Heyward has enjoyed a modestly successful solo career since leaving the band, beginning with 1983's North of a Miracle, which produced Heyward's first solo hit, "Whistle Down the Wind." 1986's Postcards From Home and 1988's somewhat disjointed I Love You Avenue. Heyward finally hit his stride with 1992's From Monday to Sunday, which many critics considered one of the best pop albums of the year and which landed Heyward an actual American radio hit with "Kite." In 1995 Heyward released Tangled, with The Apple Bed following in 1998 on the famous Creation records label. Heyward has released less frequently in recent years, though, and his most recent albums include - 2001's Open Sesame Seed - a collaboration with British actor/musician Greg Ellis, which features Ellis reading Heyward's poetry to the accompaniment of Heyward's musical backing. And an album of songs recorded with singer/actress India Dupre, named 'The Mermaid and the Lighthouse Keeper' - soon to be released.

The group has seriously discussed the idea of reuniting to record a new album, with Heyward being quoted as saying "We're all older and have commitments but wouldn't it be good to dedicate two weeks of our lives to creating a follow-up to Pelican West. It would have that magic because nobody as a player has gone off the boil."
