Beckenham boy Nick Heyward burst on to the pop scene with Haircut One Hundred in 1981. Being born in 1961, Nick's musical beginnings are firmly rooted in the 1970s and he joins Shaun on the show, to chat about some of his favourite artists, tracks and inspirations from the decade. Haircut One Hundred disbanded after two short years of success and in 1983, Nick went solo, achieving chart success on his own. Nick reunited with his Haircut One Hundred bandmates earlier this year for their first album release in four decades. Now, he's publishing his memoirs, 'Fantastic Days', and is getting ready for a UK tour, starting on 14 November in Lincoln. There's also a new album, 'The Essential Nick Heyward', out at the end of the month as well. Also on the show, Shaun's got highlights from 'This Week In Music' including the Eagles and George Harrison, plus there will be another listener-chosen 'Classic 70s Album' and 70s moment for 'Oh! What A Night'.
