Haircut One Hundred

Haircut One Hundred emerged in 1980 as a prominent New Wave band, fronted by the charismatic Nick Heyward. They achieved significant chart success, particularly with their hit single "Love Plus One." Although the band officially disbanded in 1984, they experienced a brief reunion in 2004.

The initial lineup featured Nick Heyward on guitar and vocals, Les Nemes on bass, Tim Jenkins on guitar, and Rob Stroud on drums. Jenkins departed early in the band's career, before they secured a record deal. Stroud later left to join the punk group The Sex Gang Children. Graham Jones joined the band, then known as Moving England, after leaving The Low Numbers. Rob Stroud was replaced by Patrick Hunt on drums, who played on their debut single, "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)." Hunt was subsequently replaced by Blair Cunningham. Cunningham re-recorded the drum track for the album version of "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)," though the single featured Hunt's original drumming. During early live performances, Phil Smith on saxophone and Mark Fox on percussion were brought in as session musicians. They were later invited to become official members when the band signed with Arista Records.
