From previous page cupping their hands over their crutch like footballers at a free kick. Although acting out someone else's words doesn't give her the same freedom as her own music,

Toyah loves it: "I have an ego to satisfy. It's great getting feedback off an audience. To me, theatre is re learning the things you forget in the bleaching process of the

music business. It tones me up mentally and physically. It's the most gut wrenching work you can do. "Just having to remember all those words, yapping away for two hours, is very hard. Reaching 500 people who are so close to you gives a great feeling of inner strength which helps me when I'm acting in front of a camera." Toyah draws a firm distinction between acting for an audience whose younger element will mostly be there out of curiosity or to brush up their Shakespeare for 'O' levels, and appearing live with her own band in front of a rowdy horde who are there for her alone.

"With the music I am lying there naked, saying 'This is me',

saying what I feel, having an affair with every member of the

audience. It is a more important form of communication to me."

TOYAH'S MUSIC, however, has been notably less successful so far than her acting. And more troublesome. The only business hassles she ever mentions are with the small time ways of her German based label, Safari. They've just got round to releasing a live single ("") and ("Toyah! Toyah! Toyah!") with her now defunct former line-up and she dislikes such backward looks. Her next original album (her fourth LP in a year) should be out at the end of January. Another Safari difficulty — but one which she claims to have sorted out now — is what she saw as an attempt on the cover of "The Blue Meaning" to portray her as some kind of sex symbol. "That glam pretty picture on

the back. When I did that record I felt anger and ugliness, depression. The picture was kind to me but not true to the product." However, she doesn't blame Safari for the fact that she remains only a minor cult heroine in rock terms.
