 Cash In The Attic - PJ Crook's 'Angel in the Garden'
 Sunday 24th February, 2008......................................................Television
This fantastic painting, 'Angel in the Garden' created by artist PJ Crook, is one of the lots Toyah is offering up for auction on Tuesday.

This is what PJ Crook says: "A couple of weeks ago I was approached by Toyah and BBC1 'Cash in the Attic' programme to see if I might donate a small painting for them to auction for the charity Macmillan Nurses Cancer Care.

So I have created this work, ANGEL IN THE GARDEN which measures 8 x 10 inches, especially for the programme. This size usually sells for about £1,500.
The auction will take place at Chiswick Auction Rooms on Tuesday, February 26th starting at 12 noon and the television programme will go out in May.
At the request of the director, I am sending the image out to people I think might be interested in both the painting and the cause.

Potential buyers could attend and take part in this exciting filmed auction or alternatively can place bids by telephone in advance (before the end of Monday 25th), or bid via telephone during the auction, you should find this relatively painless; the staff are used to handling both these kinds of bids if interested parties cannot attend in person. 

All bidders should simply phone up, and the staff will fill out all the necessary paper work." (www.pjcrook.com)

 The State Presents… Punk Glam Rock Queen Toyah Willcox
 Sunday 17th February, 2008.......................................................Gigs/Live
Toyah plays her, rescheduled from last November, gig at The State Club in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire this Wednesday (20th February). The Official Toyah website revealed that the set-list for Toyah's gig will include new material.

The Official Toyah website also report that they will be announcing some more exciting news about a Toyah gig, taking place in Autumn 2008, soon.

 Lincolnshire Echo - Toyah Willcox
 Sunday 17th February, 2008....................................................Press Clips
Her jet set lifestyle takes her all over the world but Toyah Willcox regularly returns to Lincoln because of family connections.

"My great-grandfather about five times removed was the last man to be hanged in Lincolnshire so I have quite a connection with the county," says Toyah.

"Lincoln is a very rich cultural city and I really enjoy the architecture and the character there."

This time round Toyah will be performing at Gainsborough's new venue, The State Club, where the spotlight has previously been shined on superstar DJs such as Judge Jules and Lisa Lashes.

But, as ever, Toyah is not intimidated by the list of predecessors.

"My website gets a few thousand hits every week so people do know I'm coming to Lincoln," says Toyah.

"I do what I do, I'll be playing for the fans.

"I'm not trying to attract a new audience."

Having said that, Toyah believes anyone who attends who is not familiar with her music will be easily won over.

"You get used to playing for crowds that don't expect what you do," says Toyah. "What we do is a high energy rock show. Our aim is to raise the temperature and we always win people over in the end."

Toyah takes the same approach to her writing as she does to her shows. She believes that staying contemporary doesn't have to take effort.

"When I write I don't think I'm writing for young people," says Toyah. "But I live a very exciting life and my finger is on the pulse musically, so I stay contemporary."

 Derek Jarman: Curated by Isaac Julien
 Tuesday 12th February, 2008..........................................................Events
'Derek', a new film about Derek Jarman by his friend and filmmaker Isaac Julien and narrated by Tilda Swinton, premieres at the Serpentine and on More4 this month. 

Through the docu-film Julien gives us a unique insider's insight into the highly respected British filmmaker who died in 1994 of an AIDS-related illness. Accompanying the biopic film is an exhibition of Jarman's paintings and Super-8 films curated by Julien. 

Those who remember flares from the first time round won't want to miss Jarman's iconic films including 'Jubilee' (1977), probably his best known Super-8 co-starring Adam Ant, Toyah Willcox and Jordan with cameos from Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Slits. A landmark punk era classic. Ten years later, Jarman made 'Caravaggio' which picked up on the same theme as his earlier film, 'Sebastiane' (1976) in its focus on how "man's character is his fate".

 Radio Times - Karma Chameleons
 Tuesday 5th February, 2008.....................................................Magazines
Toyah is included in a three-page feature, on the new BBC1 drama Ashes To Ashes, in this week's 'Radio Times' magazine (9th - 15th February 2008).

The main feature is titled "Stand And Deliver", Toyah is quoted in an accompanying one-page article.

Karma Chameleons: Their names were definitely on the list - the Blitz Kids recall the club's door policy and gender-bending scene.

Toyah Willcox: 80s pop star; broadcaster and actress:
Toyah opened her warehouse, Mayhem, for Blitz pre-parties. "Having come from punk, where women really reinvented how we were treated, what was wonderful about the new romantic movement was that it wasn't sexist atall. It was slightly kind of 'Bloomsbury', in that it reinvented people's sexuality. People became very open about homosexuality, bisexuality, and tried to redefine everything. Everyone was an individual, but also very stylish. And because the boys were so feminine, it empowered the women as well."

Steve Strange, Rusty Egan, Boy George, Robert Elms and Midge Ure are also interviewed.
