Ruby, complete with full body-paint (which took FOUR hours to apply - see pictures),
welcomed Toyah onstage to a rapturous response from a packed club.
 The atmosphere was great and there seemed to be more than a fair share of
 dyed-in-the-wool Toyah fans present.

Toyah performed the first song, 'Echo Beach', wearing a blue head dress. 
She then quickly donned the red feathers before launching into a cool version
 of the Blondie classic 'Hanging On The Telephone', followed by a much 
loved classic of her own: 'Thunder In The Mountains'.

The black PVC catsuit was reminiscent of that famous 'Don't Fall In Love'
 rubber dress, and it has to be noted that Toyah was looking more than a
 little bit "shexxy" (as we say in Glasgow!).

A fantastic night with Toyah performing her socks off, covering ever corner
 of the stage and leaning over into the crowd on a number of occasions.

Highlights included Toyah happily throwing the blue head-dress at Ruby, after a
great version of 'Echo Beach', and giggling; "get outta here!" when the birthday girl 
offered her a little sniff of something "poppy"!!

Echo Beach
Hanging On The Telephone
Thunder In The Mountains
Because The Night
It's A Mystery
Sweet Child 'O Mine
I Want To Be Free
River Deep, Mountain High

Of the four covers I'd say 'Hanging On the Telephone' was the grower. If
 only because Toyah put so much passion into 'Sweet Child Of Mine' and
 'River Deep Mountain High'. Both these songs really seem to suit Toyah's
 voice, as does the, now, fan fave, 'Because The Night'.

Maybe it's because they are new in Toyah's set, or that they are considered 
classics, but these covers got as big, if not bigger, positive reaction than the 
famous Toyah hits. It may also have had something to do with Toyah's
 obvious pleasure and enthusiasm to be performing them.

 Definitely one of the best receptions I've ever witnessed her minxness receive.
 And thoroughly deserved too. Toyah proved, once again (not that she needs to)
 what a truly amazing live performer she continues to be.

Please note that these were captured with a mobile phone so the quality varies.
 It does improve after the first couple of tracks. Sound quality is better if
 kept fairly low to reduce fuzziness. 

I would recommend playing the files with Quicktime or a similar player.

The Quicktime player can be downloaded here.
