We’ve reached the final day of our count down to Toyah’s Birthday – Yes! Toyah’s big day is tomorrow! – and the last day of revisiting past Dreamscape birthday updates… To celebrate Toyah’s 50th Birthday in 2008 a special mini-site was put together, which you can visit by clicking below…
The Official Toyah website also gave fans some great Toyah treats that landmark year, including a gorgeous new look website and lots of special content related to Toyah’s 50th.
Today we are continuing to count down to Toyah’s Birthday and back in 2010 we were doing the same… with rare photos, radio interviews, classic interviews and more in a “1981 themed” celebration. Take the leap back to May 2010…
Happy Anniversary to Toyah and Robert and Happy Birthday to Mr Fripp.
Dreamscape’s 2012 birthday updates centred around rare footage from Look! Hear! (1981) and Dear Heart (1982)…
This week (and a bit of next) we are counting down to Toyah’s birthday by revisiting past birthday updates (as you do!).
May 2003 was an exciting month for Toyah fans. Not only did Toyah turn 45 but there was the not insignificant matter of the release of a brand new album. Toyah’s first all-new studio album in nine years and also of the new Millennium:
“Velvet Lined Shell (catalogue number VSR001) is released on Toyah’s own, newly formed, record label, Vertical Species. The CD artwork is dark and dramatic, similar to the actual music. Toyah has cited Mogwai, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Marilyn Manson and Elbow (among others) as her influences while recording these new songs.”
• Revisit May 2003 here. Further info on Velvet Lined Shell at The Official Toyah Discography.
Ten years ago there were a series of Gallery, Features, Downloads and Press Archive updates to Dreamscape, in celebration of Toyah’s birthday. Click below to take a trip back to May 2006.
It’s exactly one week until Toyah’s birthday. In years gone by Dreamscape has sporadically “counted down” to Toyah’s big day and, what the heck, we are doing it again… There will be a birthday related post right here every day until May 18th.
Today – Take a look back at how we marked Toyah’s birthday five years ago: There were previously unseen polaroids and rare photos, screen caps from long-ago TV roles, features (including an Anthem one that is finally being printed as I type!) and much more…
Sending Best Wishes to Toyah on her birthday. Have a fantastic day x
A special upload at Fragments for Toyah’s birthday – My Big Year, a pilot show, filmed at BBC Scotland in 2000, which never aired. Toyah talks to Rory McGrath about her career, and 1981.

Wishing Toyah and Robert a Happy Anniversary, their 27th!, and Happy Birthday too to Mr Fripp. Here is that great photo, one of the first of Toyah and Robert together, taken the year they married, 1986, and also released their first collaboration; ‘The Lady Or The Tiger’.
Toyah co-presented Look! Hear! for ‘BBC Midlands’ for three series between 1979 and 1981. The programme covered music and the arts in The Midlands and was made at BBC Pebble Mill studios. This programme, from the 1981 series, includes two live performances from Duran Duran. Click below to watch the full edition (in six parts). (Thanks to Andi)
