Private Notes
Aamer successfully reunited Haircut 100 for a one-night Reunion! Big in the UK in 1981, the boys transported their hit ""Love Plus One"" to the States in 1982 where it peaked in the Top 40. Despite the positive reviews of their album Pelican West, personal trauma prevented lead singer Nick Heyward from completing their second album.
Despite his impressive efforts, Aamer was not successful in getting the kids to return to their neighborhood. Danny Wood refused a camera interview, and Donny Wahlberg's management communicated with Aamer. The Knight brothers were up to it, but Joey preferred a reunion on the Kids' terms, not someone else's.
Aamer gave it his best, but only two of the original members made it to the one-night only reunion. The bassist from Kajagoogoo and some session musicians filled in the space for an enjoyable concert.
Aamer was able to reunite four of the six original members. Although they did not perform as The English Beat, some of them performed with the newly organized group The Beat.
It was tough and tense for a while, but Aamer got the original Motels back together for a one-night reunion. Right after lead singer Martha Davis told Aamer he'd be on drums, he went into the hallway and got Brian Glascock.
