Fife Today: Toyah & Anthem – 40 Years On
Toyah: 40 years on, a celebration of her groundbreaking album Anthem
It is now 40 years since Toyah released her groundbreaking album Anthem and stunned the music world with her energy, her imagery and her music.
The album was certified gold and next week we can expect a deluxe box set with all you ever wanted to hear.
Looking ever youthful and cheeky as ever during lockdown in 2020 started a Sunday Lunch session of covers live from her kitchen along with her 74-year-old husband Robert Fripp.
He is an amazing guitarist and best known for his work with the prog rock band, King Crimson. Together they would take on short versions of Teenage Kicks, My Generation, Breaking The Law & Toxic, once a week at noon with elaborate costume and make up.
