Toyah’s appeal no mystery to long-term fans
Monday 29th March 2010, 11:30AM BST.
The hair may be tamed, but Toyah Willcox proved she is still a rock chick at heart when she took to the stage in Bilston dressed in a black PVC catsuit.
Birmingham-born Willcox may be a recognisable face on the TV thanks to numerous presenting and reality show roles, but at the Robin 2 on Saturday night she returned to what she does best.
The It’s a Mystery star let loose with some of her biggest hits and a number of cover versions.
“Tonight, I’m going to play songs I love to party out to and I want you to party as well,”
Willcox told the crowd at the Mount Pleasant music venue.
She joked: “I’m so glad I wore PVC – it’s hot up here.” The diminutive star proved she still has the same big voice that helped catapult her to cult status in the 1980s as she blasted out old favourites like It’s a Mystery and I Want To Be Free, as well as new songs such as Lesser God.
