Blink Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Have any of you seen Toyah on her recent acoustic tour? She is 3 weeks of being 60, she looks amazing and sounds fabulous. All the hits plus some rarities done with 2 acoustic 6 strings and a bass (fretless and double). Musically outstanding which is remarkable because one of the regular guitarists was rushed to hospital earlier in the week to have his appendix removed so a dep was used. Not that you would have known if we hd not been told!! Toyah is doing some gigs with a full electric band in November and on the strength of last night I have booked my tickets. I recommend you do the same. N PS I have no connection to Toyah or members of the band. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I once gobbed over Toyah mid-gig at The Rainbow on the 21st February 1981. I am considering making it a double in November. Edited April 27, 2018 by Frank Blank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Never heard of her, so I looked up a few videos. I wish I hadn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 saw her at the Butlins Alternative Festival last year (calling it a punk festival seems to be one step too far for Butlins) a good show, very professional and put a lot into it, but not really my cup of tea and not punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We had some pictures taken by Toyah's 'official' photographer at a gig a few years back. Very accommodating (if a little...er...odd), and sent us copies of what he took. At least that what he called himself....he was very good....he may have well have been her stalker, as I'm not aware that she has an official picture-taker!

A few years back I was told that Bob n Toyah lived just outside Salisbury in one of the many posh villages. Just a rumour like, never actually saw them in Waitrose or owt (just the drummer from Dodgy, which was good enough for me) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I remember Toola from an episode of Shoestring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I still think of that episode in TV's Shoe-string that sort of broke her into the punk scene, well, Glam Punk. A form of product placement i guess - always fancied her since then. Just found it on the Tube But very sad - Story is about the Bass player who gets thrown off the Pier Maybe that's why i subliminally took up playing the bass, she was looking for a bass player.
