Episode 150 - Nick Heyward of Haircut 100/Solo




The Hustle show

Summary: <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://nickheyward.com/" target="_blank">http://nickheyward.com/</a></span></p>
