‘BBC Hereford & Worcester’ have rejigged a recent Toyah BBC radio interview, mixed in lashings of great Toyah songs as the soundtrack, and added it to their “BBC Introducing…” page last night. Toyah talks ‘The Changeling’, the tour, the supernatural, punk and more.
Songs played: Be Proud Be Loud (Be Heard), Brave New World, Don’t Fall In Love (I Said), I Want To Be Free, Rebel Run. Running Time: 7m 38s.
The Keith Middleton Late Show, broadcast on various ‘BBC Radio’ stations last night – a “Punk!” special – is available to listen to for the next seven days at BBC iPlayer.
Toyah guested, along with Hazel O’Connor and Annabella Lwin, via pre-recorded telephone interviews. Toyah and Keith’s conversation was recorded on Friday.
Annabella’s interview begins at approximately 1h 09m, Hazel’s at 1h 37m, and Toyah at 2h 13m
Toyah talks The Changeling, The Changeling Resurrection and its set list, her haunted home in Worcestershire and its history, ghosts and the paranormal, punk (obviously) and how unique and exciting it was, her career, living in the present and not stopping working, how she relaxes and more.
There are plays of ‘Thunder In The Mountains’, ‘Brilliant Day’, ‘I Want To Be Free’ and ‘It’s A Mystery’, and Toyah’s interview, including the music, lasts for around 30 minutes.

Toyah has previously guested on Keith’s show in November 2010 and July 2005 so this could possibly be a repeat of one of those interviews.
Last August Toyah was interviewed about her meteorite collection for BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live in their ‘Secret Life’ series. This was repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra’s The 4 O’Clock Show last October.
That edition of The 4 O’Clock Show is currently available to listen to again, here. Be quick as it will only be online for one more day. The seven minute clip also includes brief bursts of The Humans’ ‘This Belongs To You’ and Toyah’s ‘It’s A Mystery’.
DJ Phil Marriott announced today that he will be interviewing Toyah later this week.
There’s no confirmation as yet where or when the interview will air but it will possibly be on Phil’s ‘Gaydar Radio’ show.
The show airs from 6-10pm each weeknight on the station and can be listened to, at their website, here.
