Of all pop’s shining, fiery comets, Haircut 100 burnt brightly, gave off heat, changed the landscape, and then, as fast as they appeared, were gone, leaving many happy memories. But, last year an unexpected second chapter in the Haircut 100 story gathered pace when their irresistible first single in forever, The Unloving Plum, became Radio 2’s Record of the Week. It was a track which showed the magic that inspired their ‘80s hits - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl), Love Plus One, Fantastic Day and Nobody’s Fool. Now that comeback steps up a gear as they announce that their new album Boxing The Compass!

Haircut 100 are returning, basking in the moment, revelling in rekindled friendships, emboldened by new material, their catalogue of hits sounding better each play and ready to take the show back on the road.
