Justin Hayward 

Swindon's rock God and Moody Blues legend

Moody Blues legend:

Justin Hayward

calyx

It was clear from an early age that Justin Hayward would carve out a career as a musician and singer, but few who heard him sing in the choir at St Saviour's Church, Swindon in the 1950s could have guessed that he would lead one of the world's most famous 'supergroups'.


Born in Dean Street, Swindon, on 14 October 1946, Justin was the son of two teachers.

 

He went to Shrivenham Primary School and then on to Commonweal, but was already an accomplished musician when he left school at the age of sixteen.


It was at Commonweal that he acquired his nickname, 'Legs', which was to stay with him during his most successful years with The Moody Blues.

 

"I was tall for my age and I could run, so they called me 'Legs'," he recalled.


He could run fast, too, and won the South West County Championships for the 440 yards.
