Toyah "Sheep Farming..." Live Dates For 2011
Perennial punk goddess Toyah Willcox is playing a special series of concerts during 2011 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough hit "It's A Mystery".
These live dates will include selections from Toyah's first three albums, "Sheep Farming In Barnet", "The Blue Meaning" & the Platinum-selling "Anthem". This period includes some of Toyah's biggest hits and greatest songs.
The set list for these gigs will celebrate the hits but feature a a sprinkling of material not heard since some of Toyah's early tours from the late 70s and early 1980s.
And to to celebrate, in the run up to the first date at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, we will be reposting clips from the fascinating intevriew that we recorded with Toyah last year where she talks about her early career and some of the many interesting things she has been invloved with.
So far, seven dates have been confirmed for the "From Sheep Farming to Anthem" tour and tickets are all on sale now. More dates are being added all of the time so watch this space - or sign up for Toyah news updates on Facebook...
