It’s the Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend…

• Toyah guests on Saturday Cookbook on ITV1 tomorrow morning in a special edition celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee:

Saturday Cookbook: ITV1: Saturday 2nd June: 8.25am
Nadia Sawalha and Mark Sargeant are joined by chef Phil Vickery and Toyah Willcox to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

• On Sunday Toyah plays Birmingham Pride, the UK’s largest LGBT two-day festival, being held on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd June, or as the Brum Pride website says “The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend”. Toyah appears at Bar Eden on Sunday.

• No doubt Derek Jarman’s Jubilee will be aired and watched in numerous places over the next few days: The two confirmed showings in the UK are at The ICA (6th June) and Nottingham Contemporary Arts Centre (5th June).

• Capital Celluloid 2012 – Day 158: Wed June 6: Jubilee (Jarman, 1978): ICA Cinema, 8.30pm: No more appropriate film could screen in Diamond Jubilee week.

• Gay Times: Derek Jarman’s Jubilee: With the Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday creeping closer and close and your schedules are getting tighter and tighter, we thought that now would be an opportune time to remind you of another Jubilee. In 1977 influential gay director Derek Jarman filmed a little punk gem of a film.

• Topman Generation: With the Golden Jubilee around the corner we recall Derek Jarman’s classic punk film. (Membership required)

• To Do List: To Jubilee Or Not To Jubilee? That Is The Question: A guide to ignoring/enjoying the Jubilee: Watch Derek Jarman’s cult punk classic Jubilee at the ICA | Wednesday 6th June at 2030.

• Whats on TV: Include a clip from Jubilee (“My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose”) in their latest “Whats on You Tube” feature.

There’s also a great image of Toyah at the Eden Bar website, promoting her forthcoming visit!

Toyah playes ‘Birmingham Pride’ on Sunday 3rd June and she is included in the, just published, Birmingham Pride Guide. There’s a full-page ad on page 18 and a news clipping on 37.

• I think I may have mentioned this in the past, though possibly not! The 1986 film Toyah appeared in, alongside Christopher Lee, The Disputation, is available on DVD.

• Toyah Live 2012: Another new live date has been added to the Official Gigs page at toyahwillcox.com. Toyah plays a live PA at ‘Birmingham Pride’ at the Eden Bar on Sunday 3rd June 2012. Toyah is also playing Blackpool Pride (9th June) and Manchester Pride (26th August).

• Adam Ant (Adam Ant & The Good The Mad & The Lovely Posse) is playing a lot of live gigs this year, including festivals and a tour. View here.
