Toyah on TV: Katherine Lynch’s Wagon’s Den

January 31st, 2013

Katherine Lynch’s Wagon’s Den: RTÉ Two
Thursday 31st January: 10pm
Tongue-in-cheek comedy chat show, starring Katherine Lynch as Sheila Chic, who invites Brian Dowling and guests to give their take on the week’s celebrity news and gossip.

NB: I’m not 100% sure if this is the edition that Toyah guests in but it seems likely as she filmed her appearance at RTÉ in Dublin on Monday night. Toyah tweeted a photo of herself travelling to Dublin and also a message on Tuesday about her visit: “Thank u 2 all @ wagons den, rte dublin. Wild night! OMG charlotte -letitia crosby of Geordie shore…outrageous.”

Toyah Newsy Bits & Pieces!

January 29th, 2013

• Toyah, photographed at RTÉ in Dublin, last night guesting on Katherine Lynch’s Wagon’s Den. I think this airs this Thursday at 10.30pm on RTÉ 2, and will no doubt eventually appear on You Tube. There’s a little more info on Wagon’s Den in our previous post here. (Photo © Contact Music – View the full version at their website)

Quadrophenia Live: It was announced yesterday that The Who will play the full Quadrophenia album on their forthcoming UK and Ireland arena tour. This was reported all over the internet and many of the articles included a namecheck for Toyah: Metro, NME, Contact Music.

Toyah on TV: While on the subject of Quadrophenia, just a reminder that the film airs again tonight. Full details here.

I Am Still Ashley Elsdon: Still Buying Vinyl: There are a handful of tracks that are on a list, the kind of list you know somehow you’ll never get to the end of. For me it’s a list of tracks I had once and now I’ve no idea where they are, so I have to get them again. This EP from Toyah is one. It has a track on it called Urban Tribesman, which I really loved, but it just doesn’t seem to be available on download or on a CD anywhere.

In The Court Of The Crimson Queen: Every Home Should Have One! Just a little something I threw together while playing “the album of 2008” the other day. Please click to zoom. (All photos used © Dean Stockings/Toyah)
