PUNK princess Toyah Wilcox is this year marking the 30th anniversary of her hit single It's A Mystery and platinum album Anthem.
As well as clocking up 13 Top 40 singles, Toyah has recorded 20 albums, written two books, appeared in more than 40 stage plays, made ten feature films and presented hundreds of television programmes.
The versatile star’s latest tour, called Sheep Farming To Anthem: Classics Revisited Live, will feature all the hits plus less well-known songs from her earliest shows in the late 70s and early 1980s.
Toyah’s diverse TV career includes programming not normally associated with the anarchic punk movement, she has presented shows ranging from The Good Sex Guide Late to Songs Of Praise.
She returned to her musical roots in 2002 and is currently on the road with her band - The Humans.
Catch Toyah at The Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton on Saturday October 22.
