In 2001, 'Q' magazine named Toyah number 48 in their top 100 Greatest Women in Music poll, as voted for by readers of the magazine and in 2009, Toyah came 7th in a BBC series naming the 'Queens of British Pop,' as voted for by the British Public.
She has also appeared as a presenter of programmes such as Songs of Praise, Holiday (BBC), and Good Sex Guide Late as well as being a guest on several shows such as The Heaven and Earth Show, Through the Keyhole and Loose Women.

John Otway first became notorious back in 1977, after an appearance on the Old Grey Whistle Test with his former partner Wild Willy Barrett, this was rewarded with his first hit, a recording contract with Polydor worth a million in today´s money and a sizable live audience. He was considered a one hit wonder for 25 years until he had his 2nd Top Ten hit “Bunsen Burner” last year. Otway has recently appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, the only person in the history of the program to rise from the ranks of the "who are they now" line up, to the guest panelist. John has never quite lived up to the bill as "Rock'n'Roll's Greatest Failure" simply because this engaging, witty and compulsive performer will entertain you as nobody as ever done before.

THE BIZZAROS + Support - Pick Of The Month!
Sat 25th Sep THE BIZZAROS + Support
8pm - 2am £5 Adv / £6 Door Buy Tickets
The Bizzaros are a 10 Piece band with the sound of a classic big rockin r’n’b band which whilst having the feel and soul of some of the great big bands of the past also has a current contemporary rock edge underpinning the groove with influences from Otis Redding and James Brown to Jimi Hendrix The Bizzarros are not a band that can be pidgeonholed easily !!The material is eclectic and electric, white trash soul, rock, blues, r’n’b, funk and ska, with such a diverse range of material available this is not a band that slots into one particular style or genre but effortlessly glides between a bewildering range of material to leave their audiences grooving.
The Bizzarros themselves have musical CVs which are pretty amazing in themselves, a World Champion Blues Harp Player, the guy that wrote most of the Monty Python film music, guys from bands like Talk Talk, Bad Manners, Jeff Beck Band and record company house session musicians, fronted by the prodigious talent that is Isaac Rose, a 22 year old singer with a huge voice. These guys have played with everyone from Fleetwood Mac to Jools Holland.
You know that feeling when you hear something that makes you want to move your feet and hop around with a huge grin on your face well that is what The Bizzarros are all about and the audience at The Horn will get a chance to hear it for themselves tonight, every time they play they bring the house down, let the good times roll with a bang !!!
