Toyah - Rebel With A Cause: Songs & Stories
A singer and actor, a TV host and author, a BRIT Award winner and film star — Toyah Willcox has worn many hats during a remarkable career spanning more than 50 years.
The High Priestess of Punk burst onto the scene in 1976 as she forged dual careers as a musician and actress, appearing at The National Theatre and London’s Royal Court. Her role in Quadrophenia made her a household name, and soon after she gate-crashed the charts with It’s a Mystery, I Want to Be Free, and Thunder in the Mountains. Her album Anthem earned a gold disc, a BRIT Award for Best Female, and a BRIT nomination for British Breakthrough Act.
She married Robert Fripp, guitarist for King Crimson, in 1986, and starred opposite Laurence Olivier and Roger Daltrey of The Who, among others. Acting, presenting, performing, headlining tours, and releasing 23 studio albums have all continued her unique story — and now it’s time to reflect.
With a new book in the offing, Toyah is hitting the road for an extensive UK tour in which she’ll sing favourite hits and tell stories from her remarkable career.
