It follows last year\u2019s successful show by 1980s band Bad Manners, who drew around 5,000 people to the \u2018Rec Ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had It\u2019s A Mystery in my head \u2013 that\u2019s probably the main reason!\u201d said Carla, explaining why she had booked Toyah. \u201cSecondly, I think that &#8211; like Bad Manners &#8211; she\u2019s fun, she\u2019s credible, I like her new stuff and her old stuff is classic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s festival will run from Friday, May 26 to Saturday, June 3, following last year\u2019s pattern of four days on the \u2018Rec Ground, week-day shows in the Manor Gardens, finishing with West Country Traditions on The Strand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople seemed to enjoy it,\u201d said Carla. \u201cThe feedback was that they liked the new venue, so I went with that again this year. Toyah is not the only one that I\u2019m pleased about. There\u2019s a great line-up, so it\u2019s looking good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Toyah\u2019s agent said the singer was \u2018very much looking forward to the show.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Continue reading at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exmouthjournal.co.uk\/what-s-on\/toyah_confirmed_for_exmouth_festival_2017_1_4881530\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Exmouth Journal<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.exmouthjournal.co.uk\/what-s-on\/toyah_confirmed_for_exmouth_festival_2017_1_4881530\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.exmouthjournal.co.uk\/what-s-on\/toyah_confirmed_for_exmouth_festival_2017_1_4881530\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27395\" alt=\"exmouthfes17b\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/exmouthfes17b.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/exmouthfes17b.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/exmouthfes17b-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyah \u2013 the singer and actress best known for her early 1980s top ten hits It\u2019s A Mystery and I Want To Be Free \u2013 will be one of the major headlining acts at this year\u2019s Exmouth Festival.
