Toyah Live At
the Chicago Rock Cafe - Nov 29th 2001 : By Tiff Davidson
Huge thanks to Tiff for another
cool gig review
Chicago Rock Cafe - Northampton
29th November 2001
| Well, the Chicago Rock definitely lives up to it's name! The stage was fab, managed to get right to the front ready for the lady of the moment. To the side of the stage there is a round closed off section which houses the dj and a few minutes before Toyah came on I saw her come through the side door. She glanced round at us all a couple of times and waved before she eventually appeared on stage. A list of songs she was to sing was stuck to the stage floor in front of one of the speakers which amused me somewhat! | She did the
same gig as at Rubys but the atmosphere was different,
more exciting I think, due to there probably being more
hardened Toyah fans participating. Ruby came on stage (dressed
as John) for I want to be free, and held the prompt cards
up for us - like we really need them! I definitely appreciated the gig, I'm sure other fans will agree that it's great to be part of a small gig in terms of atmosphere and less people to fight with for a decent view but never the less |
less, roll on
next April at the Here & Now tour where I hope she
will make the much appreciated effort to dress up Thunder
in the Mountains style - we want the full monty my girl!
Only one thing left to say about
the gig, in Toyah's own words - she came, she lisped, she
left, and it was FAB. Tiff Davidson |
