Toyah has achieved 8 top 40 singles – including 3 top 10 entries – with her self-titled band and as a solo artist, has had 9 top 40 albums so far, and tours regularly.

• BBC Hereford & Worcester: Toyah Willcox talks about living in Pershore: The star of stage and screen talks passionately about her Worcestershire hometown.

• 2-Toyah: The idea of a Toyah “tribute” act/band is possibly a good one, especially as there is so much great music and imagery to pay homage to. I’m not sure advertising for auditionees on Gumtree is the best way to go about it. Who knows!
