Classic Rock Society – Toyah And Other Humans
Toyah is interviewed in the latest issue (Feb/March 2010) of ‘Classic Rock Society’ magazine.
Steve Tomlin talks to Toyah Willcox about her latest musical project: The Humans
Toyah Willcox first came into the public conciousness 30 years ago as a flame haired pop-punk songstress bouncing around the Top Of The Pops stage to songs such as ‘It’s A Mystery’, a single I own to this day. You may think her flirtation with fame was brief, but that is not the case. This is a woman of many talents. Apart from continuing to record solo albums, the most recent of which came out in 2008, she has pursued a successful acting career on both stage and screen, remember ‘Quadrophenia’? She’s also been a regular on our TV screens as a presenter and contestant on ‘reality’ shows. As well as all of this, she has undertaken possibly her most difficult challenge, being the wife of Prog Godfather, the reputedly difficult Robert Fripp.
Now she has formed a new band, The Humans, who have an album and single out and are touring the UK in February. I managed to find 10 minutes in the lady’s busy schedule to find out more about this and everything else in her ridiculously busy schedule.

It may seem like a strange choice of venue for a pop legend to perform at, but Toyah Willcox is to play a low-key gig in Bishops Cleeve Parish Church.
