Toyah delighted to cultivate an interest in Wisley

Toyah is full of enthusiasm for her appearance at the Wisley Music Festival

FANS of the 80s are in for a quadruple treat this summer as four of the decade’s biggest names come together for one night only.

Belinda Carlisle, Nick Heyward, Toyah and Clare Grogan's Altered Images will take to the stage at the Wisley Music Festival, and Toyah for one is a fan of the RHS garden’s style.

“It’s always a privilege to look out on to the audience at these wonderful places on a beautiful summer’s night,” she said.

“I love these kinds of events. It’s such a fantastic way to help preserve our culture and our historic buildings. It’s one of the best jobs in the world, and I take away so many memories.

“And there is always such an eclectic audience. I remember at one event there was a group of people who’d brought along a full dining table complete with candelabras and servants. It was hysterical.”

Describing her fellow performers as the “usual motley crew”, Toyah said audiences at the festival would be treated to all the hits.

“The great thing about us is that people fell in love listening to Belinda, dated to Nick and probably got expelled from school listening to me.

“These songs mean so many different things to people and it's wonderful to see them now bringing their children along to discover some great music.”

The Stars of the 80s show is at the Wisley Music Festival on Friday, June 13.
