Toyah’s October blog is available to read at toyahwillcox.com. As well as an abundance of news – there’s a very special announcement coming on 1st November, I think most of us are hoping this is about a much rumoured book – the blog also includes Part Two of Toyah’s personal insights into the songs included on her recent Chameleon album.

Toyah said “Thank You” on the day Chameleon was released… (Image © Toyah)
“Chameleon is so respectful of my 45 years in music and that means so much to me. What I love about this epic release is virtually every song on it has been a single or an exceptionally important song to me. Because of that, I thought I would give a brief explanation of what each song means to me on this remarkable double album in my Blog. The first part of this covers disc 1, the songs from the band years 1979-1983, now live.” Toyah xxx
