As word of their much-anticipated comeback has spread far and wide, Brit-funk icons Haircut 100 have revealed they’re set to release their first album in 44 years next Spring, accompanied by a show at Albert Hall in May!

‘Boxing The Compass’ will be just the second album from the classic line-up since 1982’s hit-packed, Platinum-certified #2 record ‘Pelican West’ (another album minus Nick Heywood, ‘Paint and Paint’, followed in 1984). Nick Heyward (vocals/guitar), Graham Jones (guitar) and Les Nemes (bass) had reconvened to discuss issues around the band, but that business meeting felt more like a reunion of old friends. Things soon snowballed from an unforgettable comeback gig at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire to a full UK headline tour, with drummer Blair Cunningham also subsequently jumping back on board.
