We – Sharon and me – had a fab day out in, the beautiful city of – Dundee this week. We always have a lot of fun but this was the first time we’d seen each other for four months, so it was extra special, paying visits to The Law, V&A, Dundee waterfront, The Counting House, Dundee Station, The McManus, said hello to Oor Wullie and rounded the day off with some Secret Pub mocktails. Brilliant!
2026 marks the 50th year of Toyah’s career! Her very first professional job, playing the role of Sue in the BBC’s “Second City First” television play, Glitter, aired in November 1976 – having been filmed in 1975.
This year Toyah is touring the UK with An Evening With Toyah: Songs And Stories, Toyah’s Christmas Party, as well as many other gigs, appearances, releases etc. between these two tours.
Toyah’s first – full length – studio album for well over a decade, In The Court Of The Crimson Queen, was released on 15th September 2008, featuring some of Toyah’s finest songs: Legacy, Heal Ourselves, Angel In You, Bad Man. The album has been re-released – with additional songs – a number of times since the original release. In 2023 ITCOTCQ was released with selected songs re-recorded and Toyah saying this was the definitive version of the album.
Revisit that very first release via Dreamscape’s “Crimson Queen” feature…
• Dreamscape also had a dedicated News & Press page for all things In The Court Of The Crimson Queen – this was updated between September 2007 and May 2010 – View that here.
We – Michael, Alec, Brian and me – braved the rain and wind and had a fun night out in Glasgow City Centre last weekend… Delmonica’s, Underground and Club X at The Polo Lounge. A great night and Brian even gave us a spirited version of It’s A Mystery on the karaoke. I would’ve did Thunder In The Mountains but I was feeling shy :)
