Dreamscape – Toyah Willcox Fansite

Christmas 2011, and every Christmas until 2017, Toyah was omnipresent on, the music channel, Vintage TV.

Her first festive extravaganza was Toyah’s Vintage Christmas in 2011, but during those years there was also A Very Vintage Christmas, which Toyah presented with Roy Wood and Leee John, and also Toyah’s Christmas At The Zoo.

As well as those shows, Toyah featured a lot over the six years Vintage TV aired, with live shows, acoustic performances and other appearances!

Below is our airdates promo for December 2013. Great Christmas memories. We miss Vintage TV.
