Justin Hayward is a singer who fronted a band called The Moody Blues, accompanying himself on the guitar and writing all the music. Hayward’s CV is definitely a long one as he has been playing in bands since the young age of 13. His professional career started in 1964 when he joined Marty Wilde in the Wilde Three. Eventually, he signed a publishing contract with the skiffle artists and record producer Lonnie Donegan, which was unfortunately not a good move for Hayward as the songs that he wrote up until 1974 were forever owned by Donegan’s Tyler Music. Fortunately, he went on to write music with The Moody Blues, where he sold 2 million units.
Nowadays, it is all about his solo material, and I had the chance to go and see what this legend was all about when he performs live. There is no doubt that this singer-songwriter is a storyteller who can have the audience hanging on his every word that he sings. He proves it fantastically in “Nights In White Satin”, on his twelve string acoustic guitar accompanied by another acoustic guitar and a keyboard. Three-part harmonies galore.
