It's been a frustrating few months for fans of Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox. The enterprising pair have resolutely failed in their duty of care for the nation, apparently preferring to fill their regular Sunday Lunch light entertainment spot on YouTube with a variety of regurgitated 'Greatest Hits' performances rather than film new episodes.
Well, we can breathe again. For this weekend we got a new song, and we got it good. The King Crimson man and his captivating bride turned to their attention to Dutch rockers Shocking Blue and their 1969 classic Venus, and the resultant performance is as stellar as it is startling. And it's very startling, not least for the fact that Fripp has a giant 'F' painted on his forehead, and is sporting eye makeup that is both shocking and blue. It's worth sticking around until the end, where Toyah appears to speak in some sort of alien tongue.
