I wasn't a huge fan but hers was the first concert I went too. I went with my Mum, Aunty, sister and cousin. I was about 10 and thought it was cool.

Stay now- was that the name of that song?
Ahh yes, just remembered 'Breaking Glass' was that the name of the film she was in?

We went to see Toyah at Malvern Theatres last week. She is in Sleeping Beauty. She was very good.

I was never in the past a huge fan, but did like her.

Toyah's lisp annoyed the hell out of me. Not that she could help it, I realise.

Jellykat - "Will You". Great saxophone bit at teh end.

I saw Hazel O'connor live last year, she is still bloody amazing.And I got goosebumps when the sax solo kicked in.
Toyah didn't really do it for me, preferred Lena Lovich

I always wanted Lene Lovichs hair too!..Think my youth must've been spent with terrible hair envy! Grin
