Nick Heyward is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in 1961, who fronted the new-wave pop band Haircut One Hundred. He wrote and sang on the album Pelican West, including “Love Plus One,” “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)” and “Fantastic Day.” His solo work began with North of a Miracle, which produced “Whistle Down the Wind,” “Take That Situation” and “Blue Hat for a Blue Day.” In 2011, Nick Heyward reunited with Haircut One Hundred at London’s indigO2 for a performance of Pelican West.
