LOVE + One ;)

"Favourite Shirts"  :D

"Love Plus One" second

Though I only know these two.

Smashing group...pure pop all the way...

(tho', in fairness, some of those titles above are Nick Heyward solo efforts, but let's not split hairs...)

Other: 'Nobody's Fool' (1982)

um, gotta say Laura  ;)

Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)! ;D

Favourite Shirts - deffo.

I would have to say the 12" version of "Tell Me Why" by Nick Heyward.  Wasn't he the lead singer for Haircut onehundred?

RnRFan is right! :)

Their best song is one of the best of the '80s - "Love Plus One" (Fall of 1984, where I live)

;) ;D

LPO
Don't know much Haircut 100.  I reviewed the Nick Hayward solo CDs from the '90s when they were serviced to my radio station.  He's a good songwriter.

Love Plus One

i loved the sound of this group.  didnt the lead singer go mental?

The only one that i've heard is Love Plus One.  But then then some of the 80s is a blur still to this day.  8)

Nope.

Going by what I've read in interviews, Nick seems to be one helluva great bloke, with not a bad word for anyone...he's never been unfortunate enough to be plagued by any sort of mental illness...

Possibly Adam Ant you're thinking about? Who went 'a bit funny' some time ago...

Fantastic Day for me. I also like Warning Sign by Nick Heyward.

I went with "Fantastic Day"

Nick Heyward (vocals, guitar) left his band Haircut 100 just when they were cruising through the pop charts in the U.K. Instead of destroying his career, the move actually provided him with more artistic credibility. Heyward was born on May 20, 1961, in Beckenham, Kent, England. In 1980, Heyward formed the new wave group Haircut 100. Haircut 100 became as well-known for the preppie outfits they wore as much as MTV bubblegum like "Love Plus One" and "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)," two of the most endearing songs of the '80s. Both singles hit the Top Ten in Britain in 1982. Heyward recorded one LP for Haircut 100, Pelican West, and then departed for a solo career. Once on his own, Heyward's work lost much of Haircut 100's teen gloss; the music was still catchy, but the lyrics were more adult and introspective, as displayed on tracks like "Whistle Down the Wind" from his 1983 solo debut North of a Miracle. Heyward's solo output in the '80s didn't have much commercial impact in the U.S.; however, his popularity — and pin-up appeal — in England was kept intact by North of a Miracle. But it was temporary: 1986's Postcards From Home and 1988's I Love You Avenue didn't grab listeners. In 1994, the Beatles-like "Kite" on From Monday to Sunday was a surprise smash on American modern rock stations. Heyward continued to record albums in the '90s, none of which received attention outside of his loyal fan base. In 2001, Heyward released Open Seseme Seed with Greg Ellis.

Yeah, well, I didn't see that. (Could a reliable source please confirm this?) I was just going by what I read (which, I believe, is what bj26 posted, if it came from www.allmusic.com, because that's what I was looking at).

He didn't go "mental". He said he got depressed and had a "breakdown". He also said he didn't do drugs during their recording career (good for you Nick).

I saw VH1's Bands Reunited late last night by accident. They brought the whole group back after 20 years -- and they sounded just fine.

"Love Plus One" is one of my favorite songs of the '80s and I don't know why but I always think of September, 1984, when I think of them?

:)

Thanks for clearing that up. ;)

The only songs of theirs that I know are "Love Plus 1" and "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)". Anyway, the one of those that I like the best is "Love Plus One" (the long version). ;)

"Whistle Down the Wind" and "Blue Hat For A Blue Day" were not Haircut 100 songs, but solo hits for Nick Heyward :)

I really love Blue Hat, but as for Haircut 100, I picked "Love Plus One".  Just love that song :)

Love Plus One ;)
