On this day… 39 years ago – 22nd May 1981 – the studio album Anthem was released. It still sounds as good today as it did then, and no doubt always will. Timeless! (Thanks to andy)
On this day… 15 years ago – 21st May 2005 – Toyah played TWO sets at the Wasted Festival in Morcambe. A spoken word set in the afternoon and full live band set in the evening. The set-list was:
