Toyah Wilcox

[Blink]

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.

I once gobbed over Toyah mid-gig at The Rainbow on the 21st February 1981. I am considering making it a double in November.

I don't know how she does it....

It's a mystery

[Dad3353]

Never heard of her, so I looked up a few videos.

I wish I hadn't. 

[PaulWarning]

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

[JellyKnees]

Nice boots...

I think you hit me instead. Always wondered who it was.

[spongebob]

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!

[Hellzero]

Is she still married with Robert Fripp ?

[Hellzero]

Yes they are.

[police squad]

yes. still married to Robert.

Her band are friends of mine. All local to me. Her guitar player that was ill was/is in China Crisis.

She has a great live band and they are playing in a pub, near me, soon. Looking forward to it.

 

[Hellzero]

Lucky men, you @police squad and Robert Fripp.

I watched it arc through the air and hit the target so unless you are Toyah then I’m afraid it was another yob.

Whereabouts are you (I'm not a stalker, honest). 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)

A good gig id imagine for a singer / actress trying to pay a mortgage

I've seen this before. She's clearly wasted on Robert Fripp and needs to be comforting me to achieve her full potential.

They live in Pershore in Worcestershire, right in the centre of the town.

I remember Toola from an episode of Shoestring 

[deepbass5]

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.
