If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:haircut-100` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary Led by Nick Heyward, they scored an international hit with 'Love Plus One' in 1982. ## Artist history and public background Haircut 100 formed in 1981 as a British new wave band led by Nick Heyward. Their debut single 'Love Plus One' came out in 1982 and became an international hit with its catchy melody. The original lineup included Heyward on vocals and guitar, Les Nemes on bass, Phil Smith on drums, and Blair Cunningham on guitar. They released their first album 'Pelican West' in 1983, which included songs like 'Favourite Shirt' and 'Baked Bean.' The band's sound was bright and melodic, fitting well with the early 1980s pop scene. Guitarist Mark Fox replaced Cunningham in 1983. Heyward left the band in 1985, and Alistair Gordon took over as lead singer. They released one more album, 'Fun and Games,' before disbanding in 1987. Other songs in their catalog include 'Love's Got Me In Triangles' and 'Surprise Me Again.' ## Artist editor's note - Headline: Haircut 100, the bright British new wave band - Deck: Led by Nick Heyward, they scored an international hit with 'Love Plus One' in 1982. - Author: Ethan Walker (LyroVerse team) - Published: 2026-04-20 Primary note: For their peak, listen to 'Love Plus One.'
