About this concert
This year LHG Events are supporting young people both in sport and through the Shooting Star Children's Hospice. For every ticket sale charitable donation, LHG Events will also donate to these amazing causes. Shooting Star Children's Hospices are a vital lifeline to families who find themselves in the most unimaginable circumstances. Families lives are turned upside down on learning that their child has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. Shooting Stars must raise £10m every single year to ensure it gives babies, children, and young people the care and support they need. This includes respite, end-of-life care and supporting the largest hospice at home service in the country, with post-bereavement support for the whole family. With only 6.5% help from the government, we are totally reliant on your generosity. Please help us to continue to make every precious moment count. Thank you.

Toyah Biography

Toyah Ann Willcox (born May 18, 1958 in King's Heath, Birmingham) is an English actress and singer.

She attended Edgbaston C of E College where she gained a GCE pass in music and trained as an actress at the Old Rep Drama School in her home town of Birmingham. Toyah's father ran successful joinery businesses.

She first became well-known during the punk rock era, her appearances in Derek Jarman's 1977 film Jubilee and 1979's Who album-inspired Quadrophenia launching her as a provocative and anti-establishment figure, an image she eventually abandoned.

Fronting a band known as Toyah, her singing career was slow to take off and the band released six singles in the UK before finally hitting the charts in 1981, with "It's A Mystery" and "I Want To Be Free". These singles were also successful on an international level. In 1982, she was voted Best Female Singer at the British Rock and Pop Awards — since restyled as The BRIT Awards, or "BRITs" — and in 1986 she married UK guitarist Robert Fripp. She was one of the first acts to score regularly in the UK Singles Chart with EPs. Also in 1986, Willcox sang lead on the Tony Banks track "Lion of Symmetry". In 1987 she made the top fifty with her version of "Echo Beach".

Since then, she has become a well-known (and more conventional) face on television and in the theatre. She has played straight roles, including in Quatermass (1979) and in Shakespeare plays, and appeared as a presenter of programmes such as Songs of Praise, Holiday (BBC), and Good Sex Guide Late. In 1999, she took the lead in the children's television series, Barmy Aunt Boomerang. She also provides the voiceover for the children's television programmes, the Teletubbies and Brum. More recently, she appeared in the reality television series I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! and I'm Famous and Frightened!.

Following her 2000 autobiography Living Out Loud, Toyah had a further autobiographical book published in 2005 documenting her experience of cosmetic surgery, Diary of a Facelift.

She has appeared on radio including the 2002 BBC Radio 4 series The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

She continues to perform with her band, releasing a live DVD in 2005, and has a busy schedule with theatre commitments, including appearing on stage in London's West End performing the title role of Calamity Jane at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2003.

She is currently appearing in the musical 'Vampire's Rock' in theatres across the UK.
