New Music: The Unloving Plum

          

Haircut 100 are back with a new single "The Unloving Plum", their first single sinde 1984, going back in time, the band had two albums "Pelican West" from 1982, and "Paint And Paint" from 1984. Formed in London in 1980. Lead singer and principal songwriter Nick Hayward left after the first record, later admitting to Stress and Depression as the cause of his departure. The second album featured songs by the band with Marc Fox taking over as lead singer but it was a bad idea before it even began. The album stiffed and Haircut 100 were no more.The band reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited. They got together again in 2009, 2011 and in 2013 announced they were working on new material. It never eventuated, finally Heywood hinted at another reunion in 2017, then announced in 2022 that there would be a 40th anniversary edition of "Pelican West". The video was shot by another 80's icon, Tom Bailey from the Thompson Twins.
