Haircut 100 burst onto the early 1980s British music scene with an infectious blend of pop, funk, and new wave, radiating upbeat charm and melodic sophistication. Fronted by singer-songwriter Nick Heyward, the band quickly became known for their bright guitar hooks, tight grooves, and joyful horn arrangements. Their debut album *Pelican West* (1982) reached the UK Top 10 and produced hits like “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)” and “Love Plus One.” Haircut 100’s vibrant sound and stylish energy cemented their place as icons of the post-punk pop era.
