I agree. It doesn't even really matter how much you liked these bands back in the day. It's just good to see people reconciling as bandmates and friends. Life is too short.
Wrong. Read about Information Society's (Kurt Larson) experience with bands reunited. It's just as you (or at least I) would think. Nothing but fake drama, and a big comapny (Viacom) making more money. The end. If you don't believe me, read that there second sentence again and take action.
Blair Cunningham is from Memphis. His older brother, Carl, died in the plane crash that killed Otis Redding. I played with their younger brother Bobby. Three talented drummers from the same family.
I wish they would revive this show. There are a lot of bands they could feature. If they do bring it back, I would hope they could find a better way to approach the members because that whole staking out and ambush tactic thing is quite off-putting for the members and the viewer. At least for me anyway.
I was a punk and heavy metal kid but I loved this album so much. Secretly! Today it's out of print and very hard to find a copy. Thanks to the internet it's available again. That early MTV stuff was such an eye opener for me. I discovered The Jam, XTC, THE FIXX, Madness, Echo and the Bunnymen, and so on. What a great time to be alive!
Heh , same here. Some of my brothers must still have my copy of that 12" Love Plus One maxi (And vinyls from Sex Pistols, Rezillos, Joy Division, New Order, XTC, The Cure, Human League, Ultravox and others, BTW…) that I left in my parents house.
Right!!!! I had the vinyl, cassette and still have my CD that I copied onto my computer and iPod! I still listen to this album, it is so iconic to me and I LOVED Nick as a teenager:)
Way back in the My Space days, before Facebook, Nick was on there and completely accessible to his fans. He wasn't doing much in the way of shows. He spent most of his time gardening. Still dealing with a few demons I think, (like most of us). I actually had developed an email correspondence chain, nothing more than talking about life here and there, nothing in the fandom realm. He'd send me a happy birthday message to my daughter, we'd share one or two inspirational lines now and then. Once Facebook became a thing the MySpace nonsense went away. He's on Facebook but it's someone else posting and managing it and I hadn't heard from him. A couple years ago I opened up my email inbox and there was a simple, "Hello, hoping all's well with you mate". I'm glad he's writing, singing and playing. I was in England when they got big, we're the same age and I remember lamenting and thinking how his life seemed so much better than mine. But it's all perspective, isn't it? He's a genuinely kind guy. I did get to see Blaire play with McCartney in Orlando in 1991 I think was the year. We're all getting so old. Loved Pelican West. Seemed like such more innocent times.
That's such a great story! I find that there's a number of celebrities that interact with their fans on social media. Henry Winkler, Mark Hamill, Dee Snider, and so many others interact with their fans and are gracious. I've had the pleasure of meeting Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee from Rush a few times each on separate occasions, and they were both unfailingly nice and spoke with me at length. Alex even comped my friend and I's food and drink at his bar after chatting with us at length. I didn't know that it was his bar, and I went in wearing my Rush shirt. We saw a really good house band, and then all of a sudden, Alex Lifeson walks onstage and jams. He spotted my shirt, and then came up to my buddy and I, and chatted with us for about half an hour. Such a nice guy.
Lovely to see and great people. Nick Heyward is a man whose dictionary doesn't include the word 'bitterness'. But apart from the nostalgia factor, their music and some of Nick's solo stuff still stands up and hasn't dated.
Watched this VH1 show when it originally aired. Told people it was fascinating- even if you don't dig the bands. The inside story of why/how fantastic bands break up is pure gold. It has some cheesy 'reality TV' segments, but the host is genuine, and the concept is nirvana for a music fan. This series tells a very human story, and I think it is one of the best shows ever put on television.
I don't understand....I started tearing up because I was so happy for them once they started performing!! And I'm not even a big fan! I guess a good story is a good story, no matter the content. They still got it!!
joel I don't think I could have said it better. I remember this show I just don't remember this episode yes its a great story and very cool to see them kick ass.
Met Nick backstage at an 80s concert a few years ago...An absolute top guy who has plenty of time for people....One of the nicest people you could ever meet.
Dave Wakeling was there?!? WOW! Another band I loved back then with that amazing song "Tenderness"! It really was a special time and most of us knew it, that made it even better!!! So many great friends and memories, amazing music...
Alex Lifeson of Rush was asked what they sounded like when they rehearsed before a tour. He said, they sounded like a tribute band at first and then the muscle memory kicked in. Same thing here - when Blair nailed the first few drum hits, EVERYTHING kicked in - solid. So amazing to watch musicians do this.
paranormalfrank it was already started in 70's the Olivia n John wore leg warmers in let's get physical.. all of this trend many years before haircut 100
Man, I was addicted to this show. There were so many 80's bands I would have loved to seen whatever happened to them. This show seemed like it would have taken a lot of resources to track former band members all over the world. Surprising to learn how much animosity remained with certain bands which refused to reunite.
Being in a band is not unlike being in a marriage or a relationship. People united for a love of something, in this case music, let their emotions and true feelings be known. And everyone wants some kind of control in the relationship. When they can't get it, feel insulted or under-appreciated, that's when problems arise. Other times like with Sting and George Michael, band members just want to leave their band behind and be stars on their own.
First time I've seen this. I liked Haircut 100 in the 80s. Their music was happy and joyous. These guys are such a bunch of cool dudes, to be able to put their differences aside and hold no grudges, to then reunite and play good music once again. This had a real feel good factor about it and it made me smile all the way through. We could all learn something from this bunch of real cool and very nice blokes!
Absolutely awesome...always loved Haircut 100..they had such an upbeat sound and epitomised the 80's. So glad Nick got the rest he needed and came out the other side without the animosity against the others for trying to continue without him!... And their sound sounded like they had never been away!... what a talented bunch of musicians...it truly was a 'fantastic day'... Nice one guys!!! 👍...
I was always a fan, still am at age 63yrs. Nick was the core of the band, and no one ever doubted this. I bought all of his solo albums andvremain a true loyal fan to this day. But Haircut 100 was a nucleus of chemical, musical passion. Unsurpassed, undeniable. Please guys, put all differences aside. Life is too short. A new album would be what it is, i will buy it, and end life as proud musicians. Look at the Rolling Stones, Quo..... never submit to human emotional failure. I love you guys. Rock On!
Back in 82/83 it all looked so easy then years later you realise that they are just normal guys (albeit talented) and some have personal struggles. The folly of youth and the pressures on them meant that they probably made some bad decisions but looking back they appreciate what they had. I'm so glad all the guys made it and turned in a fantastic performance.
I loved it that they reunited again they all broke the emosty and it still sounded awesome like they did in the 80s. I still like Nick Heyward and the Band . I have picture s of Nick Heyward and a clock with him on it he was so handsome in the 80s it brought back memories when I was at secondary school I left in 1988 and know I am 50 . Thank you for sharing ❤ 😊
What a truly nice story. Really nice that all band members had the ability to set aside their past issues and get on with the show. Undoubtedly, a testament to their great characters. Great show, and thank you for the upload.
Nick Heyward was my teenage crush, wonderful memories of being 16 and absolutely besotted. I loved Haircut 100 so much, recently listened to Pelican West what a brilliant album! ❤️😊
I absolutely loved Nick Hey ward and love plus one. He was so ahead of his time, and just really like how he acted in his video. Nick, you need to never be intimidated by anyone. They can't hold a candle. Don't let anything stop you. Love your expressions. So, cute!
And now, 19 years later after this "one of" they're touring in the Fall,(2023). Heyward looks & sounds better now at age 62, than here @ age 41. They're all great, but more impt. they're all healthy. I can't wait for the November dates. Thanks for sharing this program.
This was fabulous! I fell in love with this band when I was living in Scotland in 1980 and Favourite Shirts was at the top of the charts. I never knew their story or why they were a one-album wonder.
Best BR yet 😊 Really made me smile from start to finish. It's a shame some other bands couldn't put the past behind them and experience the joy these lads did by taking a risk. All the 'Haircuts' will cherish this till their dying days. Life's to short for 'what ifs?' 😁 Truly a 'Fantastic Day.'
Nothings changed, its all about money and profit. Real people with incredible skills burned out and left by the wayside for the next big thing. But never forget us true fans love you still and are still upset at how you were treated. You'll never be out of sight out of mind. Thanks for the best decade of life, the 80s x
I cannot agree more, the 80's were great in so many ways, music especially and the simplicity of life and Haircut 100 were right up there. Happy memories.
This group will always be one of my favorites. Wish things could have been different for all of them back in the day. It would have been nice to see what other great songs could have been developed to add to my 80's memories. 😁
It is the classic case of bands breaking up due to poor management and personality clashes. Sometimes as fans, we forget that artists are people who needed to have balanced lives on and off the stage. I missed this one when it originally aired because I was a fan of Haircut 100. Despite their past issues, there was a lot of mutual respect and musical chemistry that still remains. Thanks for posting!
So so pleased that this all came together. I saw Nick perform at one of those 1980’s rewind sessions some years ago and he can sing. Wasn’t aware he had an emotional washout to begin with, so it’s great to see he got thru that and is confident enough to address head on. Brilliant that they all saw this reunion as a happy and cathartic not some revenge grudge fight.
Agreed. Just re-meeting these guys generates such a sense of positivity and goodwill. I'm only nineteen minutes in, and have no idea what's about to happen, but it's compelling viewing. Be well, James.
Watching this for the first time in 2023- almost as much time has passed from when the show first aired to now as passed between the bands heyday and the tv show. The guys are now in their 60s! I still have that album in pristine condition. They were massive for a few short months. Makes you wonder what might have been had they managed to stay the course. They certainly sounded good on that reunion gig. No manufactured boy band!
This REALLY made me happy. I have this album on vinyl and I could never explain to people how much I loved this groups sound and vibe. How cool was is to see ALL of them not only doing well in life but they look great and HAPPY. I was so glad to see the peace in Niks eyes.More importantly I was happy to have them speak on how ORGANIC they were as a group. Not a label made, focus group mix of corporate ideas but friends with a vision. Thankfully they can play live again and record should they want to older, wiser and sans major labels too. Keep smiling guys. We get it. Trust me. We get it.
The first band i really got into. I think 3 of them went to a school near me, Kelsey Park in Beckenham. In fact, when Love Plus One was in the top 10, they came back and played at the school on the stage. It was brilliant. The album Pelican West still sounds young and fresh today ! I was gutted they didn't continue.
I’m happy for myself to see such a great band I loved perform again BUT! I’m even happier for the band to see themselves enjoying playing music again, being together again and just being happy! It’s wonderful to be truly happy for others to be truly happy.

So we’ll said!!

And yet history records that this was when they got back together.
Excellent 👏🏻
Blair Cunningham is from Memphis. His older brother, Carl, died in the plane crash that killed Otis Redding. I played with their younger brother Bobby. Three talented drummers from the same family.

Bands Reunited..( glad they did these shows )
I wish they would revive this show. There are a lot of bands they could feature. If they do bring it back, I would hope they could find a better way to approach the members because that whole staking out and ambush tactic thing is quite off-putting for the members and the viewer.

I have three copies: two vinyl, one CD (expanded).
Ditto. I knew the English music scene was special and when I immigrated here in 1986 It was like loosing a part of me.
most creative time for music the 80s
I choked a bit watching them all get back together. My fave Reunited episode.
Way back in the My Space days, before Facebook, Nick was on there and completely accessible to his fans.
He wasn't doing much in the way of shows. He spent most of his time gardening. Still dealing with a few demons I think, (like most of us).
I actually had developed an email correspondence chain, nothing more than talking about life here and there, nothing in the fandom realm.
He'd send me a happy birthday message to my daughter, we'd share one or two inspirational lines now and then.
Once Facebook became a thing the MySpace nonsense went away.
He's on Facebook but it's someone else posting and managing it and I hadn't heard from him.
A couple years ago I opened up my email inbox and there was a simple, "Hello, hoping all's well with you mate".
I'm glad he's writing, singing and playing.
I was in England when they got big, we're the same age and I remember lamenting and thinking how his life seemed so much better than mine.
But it's all perspective, isn't it?
He's a genuinely kind guy.
I did get to see Blaire play with McCartney in Orlando in 1991 I think was the year.
We're all getting so old.
Loved Pelican West. Seemed like such more innocent times.
That's such a great story! I find that there's a number of celebrities that interact with their fans on social media.

One of the most fantastic bands of the 80's who had a criminally short career; those guys were fantastic.

joel I don't think I could have said it better. I remember this show I just don't remember this episode yes its a great story and very cool to see them kick ass.
Well said. You are right it's quite emotional. Glad I watched this
I felt the same way it's so nice to see band people get back together and they still have it !
You saw the unicorn.
Watching this in my hotel room on a rainy morning in Hollywood. Love that they all said yes! Great band and the guys enjoyed the reunion!
Now in my 50s, I appreciate morebthan ever, the 80s bands from the U K. They led the music scene
Met Nick backstage at an 80s concert a few years ago...An absolute top guy who has plenty of time for people....One of the nicest people you could ever meet.
i played this endlessly on my record player - the 80's was the best of the best of the best times of my life
Bloody brilliant
thank you! memories!...i saw the live in Buffalo, NY, i think it was 1982!...great show! wow...time has gone by!...
Dave Wakeling was there?!? WOW! Another band I loved back then with that amazing song "Tenderness"! It really was a special time and most of us knew it, that made it even better!!!
So many great friends and memories, amazing music...
This made me tear up.. 6 ft 16 stone bloke … time of my life , soundtrack of my youth . Thanks for this . What a great watch ! Thanknyou
Alex Lifeson of Rush was asked what they sounded like when they rehearsed before a tour. He said, they sounded like a tribute band at first and then the muscle memory kicked in. Same thing here - when Blair nailed the first few drum hits, EVERYTHING kicked in - solid. So amazing to watch musicians do this.
Completely agree. I think Blair's groove overall is fantastic. That moment is gold.
Fabulous band with fabulous music! It was part of the soundtrack of my life in the 80's. I wish they stayed together 💖
What a lovely group of blokes, I hope they never forget to reunite every once inawhile.
They are back together about to release a new album the unloving plum
people forget that haircut 100 was huge for a whole year in 1982, they really started a fashion trend with the leg warmers and the wavey hair. :)
paranormalfrank
it was already started in 70's the Olivia n John wore leg warmers in let's get physical.. all of this trend many years before haircut 100
Neenee C Not correct. Let's Get Physical was early 80s.
One my favorites from the 80's. Glad they had this moment. I wish I was there.

What chemistry this band had!
My favourite "Bands Reunited"!
I got to see them back in 82 at a little club in Glasgow, great gig .
A good band, Nick H having been through a lot it seems. Great memories, thank you guys ❤
Its amazing to think that their split up was so dramatic they have not even spoken for 20 years.
Just seems like yesterday when this was first released......The Eighties,i'll never forget those special
day's :)
Absolutely awesome...always loved Haircut 100..they had such an upbeat sound and epitomised the 80's. So glad Nick got the rest he needed and came out the other side without the animosity against the others for trying to continue without him!... And their sound sounded like they had never been away!... what a talented bunch of musicians...it truly was a 'fantastic day'... Nice one guys!!! 👍...
Watching in 2021... such great memories of this band. Glad to see them still have the spirit! ❤️
I love how the band members are able to come up with a pertinent yet cheeky line to break the ice. You can see they are\were genuinely friends.
I was always a fan, still am at age 63yrs. Nick was the core of the band, and no one ever doubted this. I bought all of his solo albums andvremain a true loyal fan to this day.

So glad they got back together for this... they sounded really really good!
Awesome - takes me back to the day , I was 12 ......haircut 100 .......1981
Alan Greenwood I was 21. And we BOTH loved their music. I, however was old enough to drive myself to concerts, he he.
I loved it that they reunited again they all broke the emosty and it still sounded awesome like they did in the 80s. I still like Nick Heyward and the Band . I have picture s of Nick Heyward and a clock with him on it he was so handsome in the 80s it brought back memories when I was at secondary school I left in 1988 and know I am 50 . Thank you for sharing ❤ 😊
The happiness in their faces seeing each other again is so genuine. And that live performance was amazing. The best episode ever.
Adam and the Ants would be wonderful to see reunited.
Sophie Cat
YES!!
I have seen them live twice in their heyday. Both times in Brighton, Sussex.
HANDS DOWN...THIS was/ is my absolute FAVORITE episode of this program!!! GREAT JOB VH1, EXCELLENT SPIRIT HC100!!!
What a truly nice story. Really nice that all band members had the ability to set aside their past issues and get on with the show. Undoubtedly, a testament to their great characters. Great show, and thank you for the upload.
This show was one of the best shows ever. Brilliant idea.
Nick Heyward was my teenage crush, wonderful memories of being 16 and absolutely besotted. I loved Haircut 100 so much, recently listened to Pelican West what a brilliant album! ❤️😊
Bring's back Memories in Los Angeles cailf...When 'New Wave took over..Awesome 👌
I absolutely loved Nick Hey ward and love plus one. He was so ahead of his time, and just really like how he acted in his video. Nick, you need to never be intimidated by anyone. They can't hold a candle. Don't let anything stop you. Love your expressions. So, cute!
Ive watched this a hundred times because of Nick Heyward, he is just delightful.
Still to this day 38 years later they’re still one of my favorite bands! They totally kicked ass live! Their junk was pure 1980’s funk!!!
Fond memories of youth. I like happy endings. Someone needs to bring this show back.
I wish I could have gone to that show. Here we are 12 years later, just love these guys.
And now, 19 years later after this "one of" they're touring in the Fall,(2023). Heyward looks & sounds better now at age 62, than here @ age 41. They're all great, but more impt. they're all healthy. I can't wait for the November dates. Thanks for sharing this program.
The end was absolutely lovely, played like it was yesterday....gotta love Dave Wakeling, one of their contemporaries.....
Proof positive yet again that British pop/rock bands are the best in the world, especially those from the 80s and mid 90s.
Was in high school when this came out. Forgot how much I like it. The songwriting, r&b feel and that soprano sax really gave it a unique sound
That was utterly enjoyable. What good memories I have of the band, and what a way to end this program with such a good performance.
Just brilliant 👍 🏴
This was fabulous! I fell in love with this band when I was living in Scotland in 1980 and Favourite Shirts was at the top of the charts. I never knew their story or why they were a one-album wonder.
The lovely reaction Nick had right away.....
I really enjoy watching bands reunited...love all the 80's music....more .... more....more PLEASE.
This warms the heart, and I hope they did a few more gig after that.
Best BR yet 😊 Really made me smile from start to finish. It's a shame some other bands couldn't put the past behind them and experience the joy these lads did by taking a risk. All the 'Haircuts' will cherish this till their dying days. Life's to short for 'what ifs?' 😁 Truly a 'Fantastic Day.'
Nothings changed, its all about money and profit. Real people with incredible skills burned out and left by the wayside for the next big thing.
But never forget us true fans love you still and are still upset at how you were treated. You'll never be out of sight out of mind. Thanks for the best decade of life, the 80s x
I cannot agree more, the 80's were great in so many ways, music especially and the simplicity of life and Haircut 100 were right up there. Happy memories.
Can't think of a better time in my life than the 80's Sophie Cat.
Wow, even as human beings this is SO healing!!! Kind of like therapy to have some closure
Nick what a gent you are so genuine and cooool
These guys were awesome. As a bass player myself, I love the groove of their music. Fun pop magic.
that was awesome...ahh the memories of the 80's!!!
The best Bands Reunited I've seen so far. All nice people and played great getting back together.
just wonderful to get back to who they were, the band.
Smashing bunch of blokes!!.
What a brilliant reunion. Great bunch of guys !
Another good band HAIR CUT 100💪👍🏻
This group will always be one of my favorites. Wish things could have been different for all of them back in the day. It would have been nice to see what other great songs could have been developed to add to my 80's memories. 😁
It is the classic case of bands breaking up due to poor management and personality clashes.

WHOA! I'm just minding my own business, enjoying this episode of Bands Reunited - Haircut 110, then BAM! DAVE F'ING WAKELING! 😲 I have no words!
So so pleased that this all came together. I saw Nick perform at one of those 1980’s rewind sessions some years ago and he can sing. Wasn’t aware he had an emotional washout to begin with, so it’s great to see he got thru that and is confident enough to address head on. Brilliant that they all saw this reunion as a happy and cathartic not some revenge grudge fight.
One of the best Reunited shows!!!!
Graham's guitar is what hooked me on this band!!! 😁❤️🎸
...that is how you can tell when a band is made up of musicians, not poseurs...great bunch of guys...
Agreed. Just re-meeting these guys generates such a sense of positivity and goodwill. I'm only nineteen minutes in, and have no idea what's about to happen, but it's compelling viewing. Be well, James.
To quote Nick...That was lovely x
I’m back at school listening to this on my Walkman...great memories
Going to see Nick Heyward...80's rewind can't wait!!!
Get back together!!!
Watching this for the first time in 2023- almost as much time has passed from when the show first aired to now as passed between the bands heyday and the tv show. The guys are now in their 60s! I still have that album in pristine condition. They were massive for a few short months. Makes you wonder what might have been had they managed to stay the course. They certainly sounded good on that reunion gig. No manufactured boy band!
This was really fun to watch. I wish they’d do more of these.
They do
this band was coming up when I was a kid. Man I'm getting old.
One of the first singles I bought Love plus one. Such a great track, still love it today, puts a smile on my dial
This REALLY made me happy. I have this album on vinyl and I could never explain to people how much I loved this groups sound and vibe. How cool was is to see ALL of them not only doing well in life but they look great and HAPPY. I was so glad to see the peace in Niks eyes.More importantly I was happy to have them speak on how ORGANIC they were as a group. Not a label made, focus group mix of corporate ideas but friends with a vision. Thankfully they can play live again and record should they want to older, wiser and sans major labels too. Keep smiling guys. We get it. Trust me. We get it.
Beautifully put and agree wholeheartedly.
So nice to see a bunch of good down to earth guys still liking each other after all that time.
Just remembered so much of my teen years seeing this and made me recall a lot more of the music from that era, so great seeing this!
these guys can still flat out play...awesome to see this...
I would have loved to be there 😅 love the 80’s
The first band i really got into. I think 3 of them went to a school near me, Kelsey Park in Beckenham. In fact, when Love Plus One was in the top 10, they came back and played at the school on the stage. It was brilliant. The album Pelican West still sounds young and fresh today ! I was gutted they didn't continue.
The humanity of this show is good
I’m happy for myself to see such a great band I loved perform again BUT! I’m even happier for the band to see themselves enjoying playing music again, being together again and just being happy! It’s wonderful to be truly happy for others to be truly happy.
I can see they’ve been successfully performing as a band ever since and are still going strong.
I always thought Haircut 100 was an underrated band. I always enjoyed their clean jazzy sound.
This is fantastic! I smiled through the whole thing. Ahh I love Nick!
ChildrenSay2346 he’s wonderful seen him several times now had tickets before they split ! My first album too
How tight was that ! They were brilliant and they all looked so happy. Just absolutely blew me away - and wow they wrote some great songs too :)
thank you for this - took me to my happy place :)
I was never really a fan, but they did GREAT! I am a fan now :)
One of the greatest pop albums ever. Every song is good.
