Nick Heyward, a pivotal figure who helped shape the golden age of the 80s pop scene, is back on stage after a long hiatus.
Debuting as the frontman of Haircut 100, he quickly rose to the center of the scene with hits such as 'Love Plus One' and 'Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)'.
His debut album Pelican West went platinum, and the band became a symbol of the era.
He later shifted to a solo career, and by working with renowned producer Geoff Emerick on 'North of a Miracle', opened up new horizons in pop.
The 1993 track 'Kite' climbed high on the US Alternative Chart, establishing his reputation as a songwriter whose work stands the test of time.
In recent years he has been prolific, with the band reforming, new songs released, and even a Glastonbury appearance.
This year, a highly anticipated solo album release is also planned.
The timeless appeal of pop, woven from sophisticated melodies and a romantic vocal world, is something you can experience up close.
