Haircut One Hundred

(This page covers both Haircut One Hundred and Nick Heyward as a solo artist.) Haircut One Hundred (sometimes written as Haircut 100) were a British jazz-funk/pop band formed in London in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist Nick Heyward and bassist Les Memes. Eventually becoming a six-piece, the band enjoyed commercial success with their first releases in the early 1980s and had four Top 10 singles and a top 3 album Pelican West in the UK.

Heyward left the group in early 1983, while Nemes remained with the band for their second album Paint and Paint, released in 1984. The album was a commercial failure and the band then broke up. Heyward had allegedly left the band due to physical and mental stress (not revealed at the time) although returned as a solo artist in 1983 and enjoyed a string of hit singles as well as a Top 10 album, North of a Miracle, continuing to record and release records throughout the eighties and nineties. Haircut One Hundred have reformed several times since 2004 and a live recording of their debut Pelican West album performed in its entirety was released in 2011.

Heyward released a new solo album in 2017 entitled Woodland Echoes.
