 About Dreamscape
 Site History +
I first thought about creating a website in late 1998, spent a few months of 1999 wondering what I could base it on/around before deciding on Toyah. There were already some good Toyah websites online but I felt there was room for a news resource that could be updated regularly. 

Not very interesting Intergalactic Dreamscape Factoid: I briefly thought about calling the website... ToyahLand!! 

Dreamscape, Version One (below left), went online and live on 10th March 2000: 

Version One had a News page, Discography, Gallery, Live History etc, as well as "Remember", the section that looked back at specific years from Toyah's career. 

The initial response was very positive and quite immediate. I received a lot of emails in the fortnight or so following the site going online, with many kind comments. 

Dreamscape Version Two, a completely redesigned (and even if I say so myself, much more professional looking and user-friendly) website replaced the original in April 2002. 

The website, located at www.toyahdreamscape.co.uk (thanks John & Dom) was expanded, with larger Gallery, Article Archive, Video Stills, Televison/Film/Stage pages, and "Captured" section with hundreds of Toyah screen captures to browse. 

The new version also had various logos, so the site was always changing and evolving. 

Site visitors steadily grew and grew too and in March 2003 the first Dreamscape Forum opened. 

Unfortunately this had to close after only a few months but a new Forum was opened a year later in March 2004. The Dreamscape Forum (as it's called) was and, indeed, is a place to "Tawk About Toyah!" 

The Forum is now three years online and we have over 400 members and thousands of posts about Toyah (and more) to browse. 

Over the years Dreamscape has received a few accolades and awards of its own. The site has done really well each year in the the 'BT Digital Music Awards'. Late last year, in the sixth consecutive year of entering, the site placed at number 95, the highest yet. 

In November 2002 'WebUser' magazine ran a feature on Dreamscape. The site was given the WebUser - Seal Of Approval in the issue (number 44, 14 - 27 November 2002). At that time the magazine was the UK's best-selling internet publication. 

Dreamscape was also voted "Celebrity Site of the Day" at Christmas 2002. The following day the site received over 1000 unique visitors. 

The website has even received acknowledgement and a message from Toyah herself! 

Whenever Toyah has done anything "high-profile", such as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, the Calamity Jane UK theatre tour, the 2002 'Here & Now' Tour or similar, Dreamscape always receives far more "hits". 

In 2003 Dreamscape relocated to the domain www.toyah.net. 

In January 2006 Dreamscape Version Three was launched, and as before this was a completely re-designed website. 

The site content was simplified slightly and the Latest News was now available on the website Index/Entry Page. 

The Discography was removed (as there is a fantastic one available at the Official Toyah website - www.toyahwillcox.com). An interesting addition was the Downloads section (this wouldn't exist without the invaluable help of Andi Westhorpe - Thanks Andi). And again the Gallery has been massively expanded. 

Dreamscape has continued to "evolve" over the years, with special additions, including a huge section dedicated to Toyah's 'The Changeling' album and a section celebrating Toyah's 50th birthday in May 2008. The few days around Toyah's birthday saw Dreamscape's most popular period, with thousands of people visiting the site.

Dreamscape was created, designed and is maintained by me, David. I'm based just outside Glasgow in Scotland and have been a Toyah fan since late 1980. My favourite Toyah album is 'The Changeling'. 

I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has helped with Dreamscape since March 2000, as well as everyone who has taken the time to visit. 

This is a fansite created purely for fans by a fan, and is not authorised in any way by Toyah Willcox.
