In this candid interview with Johnnie, Toyah reflects on the challenges she faced as a young teenager: born with a twisted spine, one leg longer than the other, a club foot and no hip sockets, she spent many years undergoing painful operations and countless physical therapies. This never dimmed her spirit however, and she recalls a host of almost-careers including time spent as a department store hair model and a missed chance to be an ice skating superstar. After defeating the bullies at school, she carved out a niche for herself as a punk &#8211; before the term had even been invented.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to Toyah guesting, and talking to host Johnnie Walker,\u00a0on BBC Radio 2&#8217;s <em>Sounds Of The 70s<\/em> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p05xhydf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BBC iPlayer<\/strong><\/a> by clicking below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p05xhydf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p05xhydf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28124\" alt=\"bbcr218a\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bbcr218a.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bbcr218a.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/bbcr218a-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyah shares her memories of growing up as the &#8220;only punk in the village&#8221; and finally finding her people at a Sex Pistols gig.
