NICK HEYWARD - The 12 Dates of Christmas

A Christmas-themed concert by the British singer and guitarist Nick Heyward, staged at St Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol. It draws on a pop and new wave career that began in 1980.

Nick Heyward has been active in pop music and new wave since 1980. Heyward first came to wide attention as the frontman of Haircut 100, whose hits included Fantastic Day and Nobody's Fool. The solo career that followed started with the album North of a Miracle, released in 1983 on Warner Bros. Records, and Heyward's guitar-led songwriting has remained rooted in that early pop sound.

The evening is built around Heyward's catalogue and the Christmas theme of the show, so it suits listeners who know the songs from the early 1980s as well as anyone wanting a seasonal concert with a pop and indie character. The genre is pop, rock and indie.

St Mary Redcliffe Church is a church in Bristol that hosts concerts and shows, so the performance takes place in a church building rather than a conventional music venue. Those considering the concert will find that the church setting and the seasonal programme are the defining features of the night.
