“…A CLASSIC POP SONGWRITER BACK AT HIS VERY BEST.” SUNDAY EXPRESS (ALBUM OF THE WEEK)
NICK HEYWARD: WOODLAND ECHOES TOUR PLUS SUPPORT FROM THOMAS WALSH
Following the release of his critically acclaimed new album ‘Woodland Echoes’ that entered at No. 4 in the independent album charts, Nick Heyward has announced a UK tour for 2018. Woodland Echoes, his first record in 18 years, “can’t be called a return to form for Heyward because he never lost his form; it just went unheard for years,” as written by All Music within the full star’s review. “Call it a welcome return instead, because the world of pop music always needs music this smart, tuneful, and unabashedly romantic.” Nick Heyward – as perfectly described by Louder Than War is still “a songwriter of the highest order.”
WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE 8PM £22.50 CONCS £21.50
Prior to his hugely successful and prolific solo career, Nick came to prominence as the frontman of percolating pop-funk new wave group Haircut 100, a foundational part of the 80s-pop explosion. They released four UK Top 10 hit singles, with their debut album Pelican West reaching no. 2 in the UK album charts, no. 31 in USA’s Billboard 200, and ending up being certified platinum by BPI, with Nick gracing the cover of pacesetting style magazine The Face.
