We’re rollercoasting towards the end of the year but Dreamscape’s 2025 Tour continues… Last week myself and Sharon headed to lovely, historic Stirling – Scotland’s smallest city – for a day of fun, laughs, food and photos! We had breakfast at The Crossed Peels, visited Stirling Castle, The Smith Art Gallery & Museum, Old Town Jail, Thistles Centre, went Toyah spotting at HMV, and we even – temporarily – got our angel wings. A great day in a great city.

We had another faberoonie day out in Glasgow last week… Beginning with a great breakfast at The Crystal Palace, then onto, the amazing, Glasgow Cathedral – an incredible place, full of history and ambience, and also the oldest building in Scotland! – in the East End. We followed this with a visit to the Botanic Gardens in the West End, and finished our day off in the city centre, including a trip to HMV on Argyle Street to do some Toyah spotting, and get some photos with our favourite Still Game characters. Pure brilliant!

Toyah: Meteorite – a new book lands on Earth late Nov

Published November 2025 by A Way with Media, Meteorite is Toyah Willcox’s fearless visual memoir of survival, creativity, and reinvention.

From a childhood shaped by disability and isolation, she found liberation through music, theatre, and punk rebellion. Inspired by icons like Marc Bolan and David Bowie, Toyah forged her own path as a singer, actress, and performer—defying industry expectations and carving out a fiercely independent identity.

Spanning her rise to fame, creative sanctuaries in France and Seattle, and her enduring partnership with Robert Fripp, Meteorite is an honest, raw, and inspiring celebration of individuality and resilience—a manifesto for anyone who has ever felt underestimated or silenced. The book coincides with an extensive UK tour. Beginning March 2026, Toyah/Songs & Stories spans 49 dates and offer an intimate evening of music and revealing insights from a career spanning five decades.

Toyah says: “Meteorite is my story told through the energy that has carried me through decades of music, performance, and reinvention. Each song, image, and memory feels like a fragment of light — moments that burned bright, collided, and reshaped who I am and had a lasting influence on my fans. Like the tour itself, this book is about connection: with the music, with the images that have defined each era, and with everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.”

Available in two editions, both feature new and unheard music. “Swipe Right, Paradise is an exclusive collection only available with this book and brings together previously unreleased demos from various sessions right to five new song demos recorded in 2025.

A new month means a brand new Toyah At Home episode. Toyah has a catch-up on this week’s fabulous gigs… what’s been going on, and there’s also an announcement of a special new book release called Meteorite.

Another review of Adam Ant’s Antmusic 2025 UK Tour, this one by Rockfiend, focusing on the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall date(s).

Joining Adam on some of the tour is Toyah, whose connection with Adam dates way back to their involvement in the film ‘Jubilee’. Toyah’s shows in recent years have often been padded out unnecessarily with covers, but I’m pleased to report that tonight’s set was all her own material – and all the better for it.

Toyah is a real pocket rocket and connected really well with the Glasgow audience throughout, which made for an entertaining watch, but her vocals were equally impressive. Of course, we got the big hits – ‘Thunder In The Mountains’, ‘It’s A Mystery’ and ‘I Want To Be Free’ – but most enjoyable for me were the lesser known tracks ‘Neon Womb’ and ‘Ieya’, with the latter dedicated to a delighted member of the crowd who had been eagerly shouting for it. All in, it was a really enjoyable and fun set. My only gripe was that the cymbals and toms on the drummers electronic kit were largely inaudible at times.
