:: Toyah: Live! 2005 :: Wasted Festival

Toyah played two sets at
the WASTED Festival in Morecambe on Saturday 21st
May 2005. The first, a Spoken
Word, took place at The Platform venue.
This saw Toyah
reciting a fable/story about a wicked Aunt, with
metal teeth,
who
ate children! The Platform forms part of a
disused market and is
possibly
in the old meat market section, so Toyah's tale
was quite fitting
in
these circumstances.
Toyah kept a
room full of punks in virtual silence for the
length of her
Spoken
Word set, and post-story, answered audience
questions and posed
for
pictures with old and new fans.

Toyah's music set,
including a brass section, was at The Market
Arena. And what a set! This
must rank as one of the best Toyah sets for many
a year.
Definitely
the best since her '25th Anniversary' gig at the
Mean Fiddler in
London
back in October 2003.
The set began
with The Door's 'Hello I love You', one of only
two covers
included,
along with 'She Sells Sanctuary' by The Cult.
Toyah has never
performed
either before and both were excellent.

Also included were songs
from four of her five Safari studio albums,
most
notably 'I Explode' from LOVE IS THE LAW, rarely
included in a
live
Toyah set-list. And bringing us slap
bang back into the Noughties, the mighty, and
worth
waiting
22 years for, 'Little Tears Of Love'!
