Mix 96: Live In The Park Kicks Off Weekend Of Free Events In Aylesbury

A weekend of free outdoor entertainment in Aylesbury starts today with Live in the Park. The gig in Vale Park replaces Hobble on the Cobbles this year.

It starts at midday with local acts and a funfair and is headlined by 80s superstar Toyah. We gave Toyah a call and asked her if her audience had changed over the years:

“We still have people with us who’ve been with me for 37 years, now they tend to have children and grandchildren and they tend to come along as well. We do though have a new audience increasingly under the age of 25 and I think that’s because 80s music is so popular and it’s popular with all generations.”

80’s pop star Toyah will be headlining Aylesbury Town Council’s ‘Live in the Park’ music festival in August in Vale Park.

The event on Saturday 29th is an entire day of music for free, Toyah Willcox will be on stage at 8:30pm and is very excited to be performing at this free outdoor event.

“I am thrilled to be playing ‘Live in the Park’ in Aylesbury! It will be a wonderful, fun day with great music. It’s only 34 years since I received the FA Cup (Friars Aylesbury Cup) for selling out Friars faster than any other artist in the history of Friars….. so it’s about time I came back”.

Toyah will be performing on stage following eight and a half hours of continuous live music, featuring many local bands and musicians, including Platform Soul, the ultimate soul, disco and dance band.

Rob Casey, Platform Soul lead guitarist says, “We are very excited that Toyah will be headlining ‘Live in the Park’. It’s an honour to share the large outdoor stage with such a popular national star as well as a wide range of talented local artists.
