\"\"Toyah And The Humans Gig In Cheltenham Raises Money<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A gig by pop punk legend Toyah Willcox and The Humans at St Michael\u2019s Church in Bishop\u2019s Cleeve gave a much-needed cash boost to the building.<\/p>\n

The church was packed on February 20 for the free gig which was a warm-up concert before the band kicks off their tour in March. The audience was asked to give a donation to the church fabric fund and more than \u00a31,000 was raised on the night.<\/p>\n

Team vicar Mike Holloway thanked the band and everyone who enjoyed the event. “The concert was great and there was a lovely atmosphere in the church,” he said. “It was nice to see it being used like that and it is always good to have live music there.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/a>“If people went along expecting the Toyah of old, it was not that at all. The new stuff is very different.”<\/p>\n

The cash raised will be put into a fund for future building work at St Michael\u2019s.<\/p>\n

“It was great people were able to enjoy the gig for free and give some money to help the church,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Humans, which was launched in 2007, is made up of REM drummer Bill Rieflin, who plays bass guitar, Chris Wong and Toyah\u2019s husband Robert Fripp.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
