Fantastic Days - Nick Heyward in Conversation
Advertisement
Join musician Nick Heyward as he discusses his new autobiography, Fantastic Days.
In 1981, Nick Heyward and school friends Graham Jones and Les Nemes signed their band Haircut One Hundred to Arista records. Less than two years later and frontman and principal songwriter Heyward had left. In that short period, they scored four top 10 singles, a number 2 platinum album in Pelican West and Nick Heyward had become the nation’s musical heartthrob.
Nick Heyward’s face was on a million teenage bedroom walls and countless magazine covers – it seemed all his childhood dreams had come true. But beyond the international fame and golden image there is a story of jealousy, signing to Alan McGee’s Creation label, being feted as godfather of Britpop and of being a commercial outcast, about depression and enlightenment and about the longest overdue comeback in pop music history.
The event will be followed by a book signing with Nick. Books on sale during the event from Linghams Booksellers.
