MAKING a return to the Isle of Wight Festival following their successful show at last year's event, husband and wife musical partnership of Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp entertained again in the Big Top.

The musical partnership of singer Toyah and King Crimson's legendary guitarist Fripp — both from strangely different, but equally experimental musical backgrounds — reinvented themselves in the industry with their popular Sunday Lunch performances on YouTube.

Sunday's afternoon show was a blend of Fripp's musical precision and Toyah's charismatic, spellbinding pop/punk-influenced enthusiasm.

She performed a set which included some of her solo classics, It's a Mystery and I Want to Be Free, together with some great pop throwbacks, such as Echo Beach, a 70s hit for Martha and the Muffins.

Staggeringly, millions have viewed their weekly Sunday Lunch performances on YouTube, plus millions more on Facebook and TikTok.
