Dreamscape – Toyah Willcox Fansite

• Great to hear that Toyah, and toyahwillcox.com’s, Christmas gift to fans was a roaring success. Toyah’s Official Facebook updated today: Glad to see so many people enjoyed Twenty Four From Toyah which received 4391 plays in the 43 days it was live at Soundcloud, 12 Dec-24 Jan. All tracks “sold out” digitally too. Who knows what 2013 will bring…… :-)

• As the above says, ‘Twenty Four From Toyah’ is no longer available, but the artwork and booklet is currently still online at toyahwillcox.com (though this may change soon). View all of Dreamscape’s TFFT news here.

• “Set myself task of learning 17 pages a day of Hormonal Housewives script. This is fun :-)” tweeted Toyah today. Hormonal Housewives 2013 opens at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley on Tuesday 5th March and goes all over the country through March, April and May. View the complete dates at The Official Toyah Gigs page.

There’s now just one week left to collect all the songs from Twenty Four From Toyah: Live Archive Selections 1993-2102.

The page at Soundcloud, where all the tracks can still be listened to, will expire on the 24th January. Get your cover/artwork for the album, plus a digital booklet with photos and info here. The complete Twenty Four From Toyah can be downloaded at Media Fire in two zip files.

• Crawley Happy Times: Laugh Out Loud at The Hawth: The Hormonal Housewives are back on Friday 22 March at 7.30pm. Following their hugely successful 2012 tour, the girls return, plus this time Toyah Willcox takes on a leading role

• Nigel Kiely’s Blog: Rhythm Is A Chancer: But it’s Toyah’s album that stands out most in my mind. For there was a song on it called Elecution lessons that gave me and my brothers hours of endless entertainment…
