Both singles hit the Top Ten in Britain in 1982. Other hits included <strong>Fantastic Day</strong>, <strong>Nobody's Fool</strong> and <strong>Prime Time</strong>.<br /></span><br /><div><div><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Nick Heyward</strong> (vocals, guitar) left <strong>Haircut 100</strong> 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. Once on his own, <strong>Heyward's</strong> work lost much of <strong>Haircut 100's</strong> teen gloss; the music was still catchy, but the lyrics were more adult and introspective, as displayed on tracks like <strong>Whistle Down the Wind</strong> from his 1983 solo debut <strong>North of a Miracle</strong>. Other tracks from <strong>Nick's</strong> solo days included <strong>Take That Situation</strong>, <strong>Warning Sign</strong> and <strong>Blue Hat for a Blue Day</strong>. In 1994, the Beatles-like <strong>Kite</strong> on <strong>From Monday to Sunday</strong> was a smash hit on American modern rock stations.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Hearing his music on the radio still makes the sun shine so, when Nick takes the stage at Cookham Festival's <strong>Lets Rock the Moor</strong>, prepare to be up-lifted as he plays a mixture of his early hits and new material.
