Testimonials

Toyah was absolutely phenomenal. You meet this petite, unassuming woman and then she steps onto the stage and transforms into a powerhouse performer. From the moment she arrived, nothing was too much trouble. She had the entire crowd singing along, filled the marquee in both sessions and brought an electric energy that was impossible to resist. What was meant to be a brief 5–10 minute appearance during Ladies Day turned into a full-blown Toyah concert, complete with a show-stopping 20-minute set that ended with a powerful rendition of It’s a Mystery. She didn’t just perform, she created a moment. Truly unforgettable.
