Nick Heyward was a really great singer and songwriter. Pity he never got the recognition like George Michael and Nik Kershaw had. Howard Jones was also a great singer and fab keyboard player. Heyward was a great guitarist too
To steal a phrase - "You don't realise what you've got 'til it's already gone " Mr Heywood. ...thank you so much for what you have given us. You are so under - rated and sadly, under appreciated, but I will always remember you. As time goes by. I think your legacy will become greater
Wonder how people truly feel when people say things like “you’re under-appreciated and under-rated.” If it’s meant to be a compliment it actually comes off as a backhanded compliment. I imagine a person is feeling great and then along comes someone and says something like this and then others follow, because they think this will make you feel great. I think it’s a Debbie downer.
Love finding this song! I am a Canadian, as a kid in my twenties I visited a friend that lived in London, first time in August 1981, second time in September 1983. I remember this song when I was in the UK in 1983, wow it brings back great memories. I remember hearing ' Blue Hat For A Blue Day' on Capitol One radion, also in pubs, etc. I love Nick's other songs, but this song is fabulous for me. I bought the EP of this tune at an HMV near the Bond Street Tube Station London, I still have it. Sadly, '"Blue Hat For A Blue Day" never got any radio play in Vancouver, British Columbia. However, Nick's first band " Haircut 100 " did have songs played on CKLG & CFUN AM radio in Vancouver in 1982. Go figure....
Early 80s were a magical time music was amazing im irish and I love the spoons there song nova heart Is amazing and strange advance we run.both great Canadian bands from back then
24 March 2019. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique artists such as Nick Heyward and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British artists bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration. And after 36 years, with its joy, "Blue Hat For A For Day" has still the power to change my mind on those days when I'd rather electrocute myself in the shower.
My girlfriend at the time this came out, loved this song, I got it on 12 inch for her. she never stopped playing it, she loved nick Heyward. GOD, I MISS THEM DAYS. Love to you. xxxxxxxx
All I can say...how do artists this good always fly under the mainstream drivel radar? Lucky for us...we chose to follow him through Haircut 100 and beyond..thank you Nick for all the wonderful songs through the years!.😁👍
Great song for a great day... just turned 50 years young and this great album still gets overplayed on my itunes playlist! Atlantic Monday, Whistle Down the Wind, When it Started to Begin... whole album still excites the eardrums!

Je vous au découvert M. Heyward il y a seulement une semaine. Ce que je peux c que votre album North of a Miracle est un miracle .. superbes arrangements. Superbes mélodies. Superbe production. C un chef d'oeuvre. Merci
Brilliant artist. Remembering back to happy times in 1993, when my favourite CD's (remember them?) were "Monday To Sunday", Sting's "Ten Summoners" Tales": and Laurence Cottle's "Five Seasons". And, I have to say (it's just occured to me) Nick appeared on the BBC Russell Harty Show in the 80's when I was in the house band up in the scenery, playing bass!
Love the song and video. For some reason this really resonates with me. Lightweight sure, but nonetheless a great pop song. Loved it then and still like it now so many years later.
As a 19 stone bodybuilder back in the day I saw Nick with his lovely girlfriend in an Indian Restaurant in Hampton Court................asking the waiter for his note pad.........I followed Nick to the toilets................he was clearly relieved in more than one sense when I asked for an autograph!..................
Super Bumcrumbs Great eh. I was twelve and used to play this on my tennis racquet (wooden of course), singing along and getting pretty much every word of the verses wrong. Magic.

Was a young boy when this was released. How time has flown by but this songs still resonates
Just been to see Nick and Steve Norman play at Pizza live Holborn London Jan 28th 2023. Fantastic night ...
Heyward was an amazing singer songwriter who produced fantastic material right from Haircut 100 through his solo career.
Heyward IS an amazing songwriter. He's not dead yet dude 😉
@@stevel6943His career died when he left Haircut 100
@@todd291 got you👍
@@todd291 clearly it didn’t, as he had several solo hits including this one, and continues to make music.

Absolutely fantastic
Did Nik Kershaw really get that much more recognition, though? Like Nick Heyward, he also faded after his run of hits dried up
Love the song and Lyrics Nick Heyward so cute and handsome.
i don;t care what anyone says i love it and it brings back so much nostalgia, great song
I’m not sure what it is but listening to his music just keeps me young fabulous nick brilliant
A time long since gone. So sad
Ah happy memories, everything nice with this
Great memories Nick Heyward now 62 still looks well they were my favourite band
This guy knocked out some great tunes. Nice guy from what I have seen from His interviews.
I thought that too , doesn’t he seem lovely ❤
We need more of this. Come back Nick.
My older cousin turned me onto Nick's music starting with Pellican's West...his music always cheers me up. He's doing God's work.
PURE NOSTALGA, the 80s forever and ever and everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I totally understand that phrase so recently.
I fell in love with him when I was 15. STILL LOVE HIS MUSIC TO THIS DAY.
I fell in love with him when I was 13 and I still love HIM to this day 😊 what I would give to be Mrs Heyward ❤
North Of A Miracle, one of the best albums of the 80's.
Too true, I'd just joined the army back in '83 and my sister bought the album for me for my 18th birthday
It absolutely is.
Agree with that. I played it to death.
💕
Great Title too.
I personally think that this is one of the best tunes from 1983. Totally ignored tune from that year.
Wasn't it just! A great album too (North Of A Miracle)
You are brilliant.

Clean cheerful pop. The other thing about the 80's is people were trying to set their own trends & styles. Nowadays it's Robotville!
Hey nick thank you for all your songs, we need more melodies like the 80s
just love this song....the change in cords...

one of my favorite music videos, super cool and really clean cinematography
Songwriting that keeps a listener coming back and discovering more each time.
Pop perfection 1983
I love this song. It’s my favorite on that album. Great video as well. He was a handsome man. Still is .. ( I troll his Instagram) 😘
Gorgeous 😍
I remember this song back in 1983 when I was 7 years old
One of Nicks best songs
1.5 speed to transform this gorgeous ballad into a spiffing dance track with Nicky sprinting around the streets of London. You're welcome.
amazing
:'D - that's funny - makes it sound like The Housemartins!
Great song for a great day... just turned 50 years young and this great album still gets overplayed on my itunes playlist! Atlantic Monday, Whistle Down the Wind, When it Started to Begin... whole album still excites the eardrums!
Good to hear again. Well made song.
Great song and video
Blue hat for a blue day, I'm an 80,s baby😂
Gosh I forgot how lovely this song is. Thanks for the memories!
My teenage pin up - loved the North of a Miracle album 👌
Just loved this song when it came out, still loving it today, Nick Heyward what a talent
Brings back memories. Clear light in a new flat. Sounds surprisingly optimistic given the subject matter.
Such a Legend...When will you ever gig in Dublin...😊
I love the arrangement, love the chord changes. Timeless sound. Poignant clip of Andy's guitar shop in Denmark Street too.

i love this song but the guy behind the camera did a masterful job with this video too!
2:27-2:40 was always a favorite section and felt it could be the center of a different song
I'm still in love with Nick, always have been and I always will be and will always love his music!!😍😍
40 years ago exactly!! 😲👍👏

Wow that was pleasant surprise ! lot of changes there really nice ending too
Good looking geeza with a great voice 👍🏻 there's a touch of James Dean about him.
What a beautiful little break at 2:12. Totally diverged from the obligatory guitar or sax solo..
Love this tune, in fact all these and Haircut!!!
A much overlooked song on radio. Its a gem!
One of my favorite songs!
Nick is very good indeed when composing a "blue" song. "Baby Blue Sky" is another Nick gem.
Memorable.
...So all good.
Lets rock leeds you were brilliant this one is my fav.
Fab song from a great musician.
Happy 60th Today Nick - nice to welcome you into the club lol ♡

Such a good looking lad, he must have been fighting them off with a stick.
