(9) MICHAEL JACKSON & PAUL McCARTNEY – The Girl Is Mine The rare sight of an all male dance routine tonight from Zoo, but who would have had the slightest inkling at this point in time what was about to happen to Michael Jackson? And who could possibly have guessed that the album this first single was taken from would go on to become the biggest seller of all time! And yet despite going straight into the chart at number 9, The Girl is Mine went up just one more place. That leads us to November 11th 1982, which will be on BBC4 next Friday.

TAMMY: Oh, that’s really nice. TAMMY: It’s time to hear from an artist who’s been making music for many decades and has made Worcestershire her home. She’s back with a new album called “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”. We welcome back Toyah! I think people choose to go back to the fashion if they want to but there’s just something about the longevity of the music and the music stands out like no other decade - TOYAH: - Who I’ve been writing with in a songwriting partnership for 42 years, wasn’t convinced that the four bars he’d written for the intro of the album was actually going to be the biggest song of my life - ALEX: I can. It’s Alex here from the BBC. TOYAH: Oh yes, “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” - JASON: Fantastic. Thank you also to Chris, Andy and John, lovely to see you guys. Keep in touch, Toyah! And hopefully I’ll catch you on tour sometime - JASON: Absolutely thrilled to have you in the studio today, thank you so much for coming in to see us. The album is out as well? PHIL: Yeah. I taps in, doesn’t it? TOYAH: Yeah, Leslie, myself and all the cast we’ve been together a lot. Last year it started kicking in, we made a documentary for Sky Arts and that’s everyone from Ray Winstone, Sting, right through to Timothy Spall and all of us on the poster so there’s a lot happening this year to do with “Quadrophenia”. I can’t tell you just yet because (there’s) a lot of surprises but The Who are involved. TOYAH: Yeah. I tell you the biggest surprise – and it’s been twelve months of surprises – on my 60th birthday my audience downloaded me to number one in the charts and that’s what’s kicked off all of this. That led to Demon Music signing us on a contract, which is the first time I’ve been signed to a label in about 40 years. PHIL: Oh my God, yeah. Because you’ve had a lot of problems with Safari Records – that was the label you were signed to right back in the 70’s - PHIL: Oh yes, because he co-wrote it - TOYAH ON BBC RADIO SOLENT WITH ALEX DYKE 23.5.2019. PHIL: I think it was quite sanitized - TOYAH: I’m opening with – very good question - “Good Morning Universe”. Then “Echo Beach”, “Thunder In The Mountains”, “It’s A Mystery”, “I Want To Be Free” - PHIL: Because you’ve always written songs in the past maybe inspired your dreams. Is that still the case now or do you get your songs inspired by what’s going on in the real life? TOYAH: Thank you so much, thank you PHIL: See you soon. TOYAH: Oh, “Sensational”! I’m very passionate that we tell our children that they are beautiful and unique - TOYAH: Five new tracks - So that was cool. This is what my band did – they looked after me. Then I tried to walk to the B&B and a police car picked me up and they said “you can’t be alone” - because of the Yorkshire Ripper so you know, all of that. So we lived through that. My generation lived through that because no one knew who and what and where the next strike was going to happen. PHIL: It was great - TOYAH ON BBC RADIO DEVON WITH RICHARD GREEN 8.6.2019. I couldn’t have written it until I became an adult the day I lost my parents. There’s something about that dis-connect, where you have to learn to trust the world again that you become a bigger and better person. TOYAH: “Sensational” is talking to the audience saying you are sensational! Don’t let anyone tell you any other way! You are – the fact that we’re all here – we should be grateful for it and respect it TAMMY: Do you know, the essence of Toyah – we should bottle it and all take a sip every day. I love that! TOYAH: I think – and I really have to pull this out of my my memory banks … I did a lot of historical dramas for the BBC during this time. I did “Jekyll & Hyde” with David Hemmings (above with Toyah in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1980)) and I did an another one - which I can’t for the life of me remember what the name was and Diana Dors was, I think, in “Jekyll & Hyde” with me playing a Madam. And she was great! TOYAH: Yeah, even when I do the big 80’s festivals I try to give that in the moment. So if I’m doing “I Want To Be Free”, “Thunder In The Mountains”, “It’s A Mystery”, “Good Morning Universe”, all those hits – I try to give them in a relevant way today. It may sound glib and easy to say that because we all have to fight our dark clouds but I just think that life is so precious. Especially when you get to my age. You just don’t want to waste it! TOYAH: I’m more intelligent than I was in 1975 – PHIL: That’s what makes her more appealing as an artist I think. There’s no ego. Or I suppose you’ve got to have a certain amount of ego to - The opening song “Dance In A Hurricane” I could’ve only have written from the age I am today. It was finished in January, it took a year to write because my co-writer Simon Darlow, who wrote Grace Jones’ “Slave To The Rhythm” by the way – TAMMY: Oh my word … ALEX: You know you’re an inspiration, especially to young women. I mean if you look at what you’ve done and how you’ve done it – against all the odds really … If you look at your background and your beginning and your own perception of yourself. It’s an extraordinary achievement. You know that, right? It really was the only movement that I know that if you were a strong person it didn’t matter what person you were, you were welcome and you had a place on the stage. So I think punk gave me my confidence. TOYAH: Everything’s a blur now! TOYAH: I saw “Rocketman” last week, the music is so profound ! JASON: That’s amazing, isn’t it? TOYAH: And they will discover the music you love. Personally I don’t think there’s such a thing as bad music. I think generations just need their voice and you can’t take that voice away from them and that’s the divide between you and your children - TAMMY: Oh my word … TOYAH: Oh! If we had #MeToo in the late 70’s which is when I kicked in …oh boy! It was unbelievable being a woman in very much a man’s world. Especially doing Northern Working Men’s Clubs, especially going even North of the border. I don’t want to put these places down because they were great to play and the audiences were fantastic … but you were just groped. The whole time – left, right and centre. Just groped. TOYAH: But to answer your question – I take dreams quite seriously because I’ve learned that sometimes they’re telling you something that you need to be aware of. PHIL: Because a lot of modern films aren’t as disturbing as they used to be I don’t think TOYAH: Oh well, you must see “The House That Jack Built” … Piers Von … TOYAH: Remake was very sanitized PHIL: Yeah. Are you still scared by stuff now when you watch - TOYAH: I do deliver because the audience comes first. I don’t think I’ve gone beyond that point where I have nothing to prove. As an actress I’ve got everything to prove and I’m still learning. The new album I think is a beautiful album and it’s so exclusively me that I think I want people to hear it and go “yes, Toyah’s being Toyah” and that suits me down to the ground. ALEX DYKE: Let’s call Toyah, shall we? Hope she’s in for us, she is expecting our call - TOYAH : Yeah … I … (struggles to find words) It’s taken a while to sink in. Because I play all through the year, I do four shows a week and I have done for the last twenty years and my shows sell out. I’m used to having an audience but to suddenly know there’s going to be this presence … I’m still coming to terms with it because it’s going to very different how it was 42 years ago - ALEX: Toyah, thank you so much for your time. You’re such a legend and a star. Have a wonderful evening. Thank you for your time. TOYAH: Can you hear me OK? TOYAH: Boy, you’ve opened a can of worms there! (laughs) TAMMY: Oh, have I? (laughs) TOYAH: I’m studying music at the moment and I have a wonderful teacher called Chris Long, who the community will know because he’s always doing concerts, a keyboard player. He’s teaching me music theory and keyboards. He insists that I practice with somebody jamming along with me and I asked Robert to jam along with me and Robert was so unhelpful and so ungiving. I have a real ambition to be in an opera one day and I never say never and I don’t think doors close. I think one day it might happen. But if I did go into an opera it would have to be really modern and really extreme. Because I am a rock singer. I was very aware from a very young age that I was being made to identify as something for the convenience of others. It’s all to do with ticking boxes and filling forms and listing in bureaucracy – on your passport, male or female. I think we’re all individuals. And it’s fabulous because I want to remind people of our rebellion because I’m the punk generation. We’re the generation that forgot to grow old and still have that element of bravado in us so when I do “I Want To Be Free” I seem to ignite a passion in people and it becomes quite militant - RICHARD: Does it? TOYAH: And yeah, people recognise us but they don’t make it impossible for us to have a normal life. TOYAH: Thank you. I write with my co-partner Simon Darlow. I’ve been writing with him since I was 18 and he was 17. He’s worked on many of my big albums as well. We have a very psychic relationship. Put us in a room and things just happen. He picks up a guitar, he hits the piano and we come up with something like “Sensational” in two minutes. TOYAH: I know I went on the 11th of September. She invited me to come and see it PHIL: What an incredible show TOYAH: Yeah. One of the best things I’ve ever seen. TOYAH: (on the phone) It’s good to be back! How are you today? PHIL: You are what I think is safe to call a juggernaut in so many ways because I’ve always thought from the late 70’s to now you have this endless energy, a kind of effervescence that you can’t control it - TOYAH: I can’t control it - But for Derek it was so frightening. When he had HIV and then it developed into AIDS … he was getting death threats, he was getting people wanting to violently take his life as if AIDS wasn’t violent enough. So it was a remarkable experience to be with these young people and to be able to share my story with them and them being able to share their present day story with me PHIL: You mentioned Kate Bush - PHIL: Doesn’t feel like - RICHARD: Experience! Yeah! (laughs) TOYAH: - Writing to play. That’s about 28 albums. So the acoustic evening kind of starts in the punk movement and works right through to the present day. We play songs that work really well with three voices and two guitars. The show is a huge success, it sells out around the world. ALEX: More diplomatic you mean? (laughs) TOYAH : Well, it was crammed to the rafters, it was 40 degrees in the venue. I mean it was like performing in a sauna. It was fabulous ( laughs) TOYAH: I’m really good, I’m having a really good time ( laughs) Everything with the album has had such a positive reaction and I’m 61 this year and I didn’t expect this to be happening in my life and it’s really good. TOYAH: Yes, she was a very generous person. Not only did I get down time with her, my father turned up on the film set unannounced and was hiding on the film set to watch his film idol Katherine Hepburn and she found him! And she said “who are you and what are you doing here?” and he said “I’m Toyah’s father” and she stopped filming and took him to lunch - TOYAH: Whoo (laughs) That is such a big question! Well, I was filming with Katherine Hepburn in a film called “The Corn Is Green”, which was directed by the legendary director George Cukor. I then went straight on to do “Quadrophenia” (below, and the cast now) which is 40 this year. The movie. TOYAH: She was just the most extraordinary woman. And she would talk to me a lot about who ever I asked about but her main influence and her big love of her life was Spencer Tracy and she would wear his clothes every day and he had been long gone by 1979. But she would often just say “this is Spencer’s jumper, this is Spencer’s trousers” (laughs) and she was still very connected to him. TOYAH: Yeah and one thing that makes me really laugh is they’re doing the harmonies and it’s lovely because (Richard laughs) it really helps out! You think “oh, thank you, thank you, you’re doing the harmonies, it sounds even better!” RICHARD: I know you’re doing a Let’s Rock but towards the year you’re doing a more sort of focused on this album tour, is that fair? In the autumn time? TOYAH: Yeah. The autumn dates – we’re playing all through the year and we’re going to be doing a lot of the “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” songs but the end of the year, October, into November we’re doing the Crimson Queen gigs which will be Birmingham - The Mill, The Brook in Southampton, Bristol, which kind of people can travel to from your area - TOYAH: What I loved about it was you really felt nothing but love in the room. TOYAH: I hate sleep! I would do anything to pop a pill and never sleep again. ALEX: You were ahead of your time, weren’t you? I mean I look at what you did as a child and you were an artist, let’s face it when you walked through the streets of Birmingham. People had never seen anything like it. Was that some sort of divine intervention or was it you being you or was it influence because let’s face it it’s very easy to fit in the crowd – it’s very difficult to deliberately stand out? TOYAH: In some cultures dreams are believed to be the real work we do. I often wonder why on earth do we sleep so much of our lives … Well, go and ask some native Aboriginal in Australia – they’ll tell you that’s when you do your real work. ALEX: Well, he never listened to it though. He paid the fine! ALEX: Are you less feisty now than you were in 1975 for example? TOYAH: It was very clever. Well, Chris Goode was asked by the Manchester Royal Exchange “what would you like to do as a writer/director?” And he said “I want to bring the film “Jubilee” to the stage.” The first script I read - and I don’t think we veered far away from what I read first - was one of the most outrageous funniest things I have ever had in my hand. It was just so gloriously naughty. I’m still learning and checking myself all the time. I’ve been writing music for 42 years and it’s a journey without an end so I would not judge someone else’s writing because it’s the process of being creative that’s important. TOYAH: I love it! There was quarter of a million people on site and it’s just radically different to anything I’ve ever experienced. So I’m a little bit sensitive to the audience. I’d say I’m more scared in the arenas than I am at the acoustic. PHIL: How are you? ALEX: This is the Greatest Hits you’re doing on Sunday and some other stuff – back catalogue. It’s your full electric band and you’re just celebrating 40 years of being in the business? TOYAH: Why? I think it’s because it’s about the audience, it’s a shared experience with the audience. The audience can identify with what we’re doing. TOYAH: But again it didn’t want to offend - And then slowly the kind of dedicated Toyah following has been building up over the last ten years. So my latest album “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” went straight into the Top 10 two months ago. The first track we’re going to play for you today is my next single off it, which is about July the 17th that’s coming out. But it has just been an absolutely stunning year - PHIL: You mentioned Simon Darlow, who your loyal fans will of course know from back in the 80’s. You worked together with him on “Love Is The Law” 1983 and then again on “Minx” in ‘85 - TAMMY: Isn’t that lovely - So it’s a very exciting time. And the whole of my year has live shows booked so we’re going to be performing these songs. I’m even being booked into next year so it’s going to have a long life. JASON: Amazing. Amazing. Fabulous ! Are you going to do another record for us in a momen? The beauty of Youtube and performing to such young people – to me anyone under 30 is really young – is that they’re yet to discover this music and I think they’re really going to like it. So I’m very active with all of that. TAMMY: (laughs) And on that note – you can see Toyah at loads of festivals across the summer. The Mill in Birmingham on the 18th of October. Have a look at the website because all the stuff is there and you get your hands on this brilliant album “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”. Toyah, it’s been a joy! Thank you! TOYAH: Thank you so much, Tammy and it’s good to talk to you and I can’t wait to come home! We’ve done it now for five years. We go into lovely little places. This is a village hall near Nottingham, completely sold out. We could’ve done a week here but it will be magical. We know that because it’s up close and it’s very personal. RICHARD GREEN: It’s the BBC at The Let’s Rock festival, Toyah! ALEX: People forget that show business – and you have to run a busines s to make it a show. I mean that’s what you’ve done all of your career, haven’t you? You’ve had to be the person fighting forward because if not you’re quickly forgotten. RICHARD: You’ve been singing songs of empowerment for ages haven’t you, really? That have that sort of oompf to them? TOYAH: My songs are anthems. My songs are written for the stadiums where you want a lot of people singing with you - ALEX: I asked Ken Dodd if he’d ever retire when he was 89 and he said “well, what’s the point? You only retire to stop doing what you don’t want to do - to do what you do want to do and I’m doing what I want to do - if you know what I’m trying to say?” Are you doing what you want to do? TOYAH: Well, I trained in opera from about the age of 14 right through to 18. German opera. I keep catching myself talking German although my German isn’t great. But that really helped me. And if anything it’s hard to get it out of the voice because when I have to do the big notes at the end of songs that’s when I kick the opera in. TOYAH: Well, yes, it is called “Up Close And Personal”. I do a lot of those - RICHARD: So how do the new songs fit into that - bearing in mind this is a whole album, an electric band on the album? RICHARD: And how does it go when that happens? Because I’ve seen you at the festivals of course when you do some of the big songs from the past and they’ll be singing them back at you - And our life is very normal. I shop in the local shops, I’m passionate about keeping the High Street alive. It’s a very special market town that we live in - PHIL: Gorgeous packaging. I mean it’s gatefold – 2 CD. MARK: And you’ve got two dates coming up in our area quite soon. St John Church in Farncombe – have you played there before? I was a hair model in a big department store in Birmingham, did the big hair shows around the country, had coloured hair right before punk and I knew I was going to have to be different to be noticed. But I didn’t have confidence and then I discovered punk and punk was very accepting of women. TOYAH: You can’t win either way. No. TOYAH: And that’s what “Dance In A Hurricane” is about TAMMY: It’s so funny, everything you’ve just said – because I’ve got a couple of notes written down here and I’d written on this little scrap of paper that the 15 tracks on the album – looking at life and love and empowerment and wonderment and I’d put here “I guess it’s fair to say you couldn’t have made this album forty years ago”? TOYAH: No way. Absolutely no way. I needed to be able to step away from my teenage self that had crushes on everyone, step away from my 30 year old self who was just frustrated with life. I needed to be in a place I’m now and I wanted to reach back through time to younger generations and say “everything will be alright” TAMMY: I love that. I think we need to hear this song which has also been described as an ode to defiantly walking your own path through life. And it appears to me, as a youngster watching Toyah on Top Of The Pops, my sister kind of trying to be you singing in the hairbrush (Toyah laughs) and kind of having the hair and all of that going on. It seems to me you’ve always done that and that’s what’s so kind of inspirational I think about you, as an artist TOYAH: I find myself, in retrospect, able to say that I’m very lucky no one took an interested in me in the business and what I mean by that none of the megastar management wouldn’t be interested in someone like me. ALEX: That’s extraordinary. Some women may not have made that choice which they could’ve regretted forever. You had that within you. I wonder where that comes from? ALEX: You can’t win either way at this point, can yo? TOYAH: No, some people have incredible power. Laurence Olivier (above with Toyah) had that and Katherine Hepburn had that. Sting in a way has it but when we made “Quadrophenia” with him we were all in his hotel room learning the harmonies to “Roxanne”. He was incredibly encompassing , he was very kind good man. JASON MOHAMMAD: Good Morning! Then the other songs have all been used in movies and the entire album has been used in a London stage musical called “Crime And Punishment”, four years ago. Then we’ve written five brand new songs. The last to be finished in January was “Dance In The Hurricane” which is the opening track. So this album has walked back into success - TAMMY: Whoa! Love that! If only that was possible! TOYAH: Well, yeah, my God - nothing would get done. RICHARD: Yeah and of course it feels from the audience’s point of view like they own something. If you stream stuff nowadays you don’t sort of connect with it the same way. Well, I don’t anyway … TOYAH: Well, it’s a very satisfying thing to have back - TOYAH: I’m really good, thank you. MARK CARTER: Congratulations on the new album! I have been listening and I love it! It’s a great sound. You must be very proud? PHIL: At the Hammersmith – as it was then – The Odeon. Now The Apollo. Kate Bush played there a few years ago - ALEX: You’re a remarkable talent, you’ve got a stunning voice and audiences never cease to be amazed by you. I love the new album. “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” is just wonderful and as I say “Sensational” is truly one of the greatest songs I’ve heard in a very very long time. Your voice is so precious. Be less hard on yourself. JASON: Lovely to see you, fantastic to see you – it’s going so well - I can’t believe this as well - you were in my home city of Cardiff, you played at the Acapela (below)- TOYAH: I worked with John Mills, I worked with Laurence Olivier. Even Diana Dors and they were all true stars. Today as stars tend to be very real or reality based these were people who were built by the Hollywood system and they were phenomenal. They were very very different and I’m so glad I met them. TOYAH ON BBC RADIO HEREFORD & WORCESTER WITH TAMMY GOODING 9.4.2019. ALEX: OK, so here we go then. It’s Sunday the 26th of May which is just around the corner. This coming Sunday, the Theatre Royal Winchester. 40 years in the business. You don’t look old enough! MARK: Good for you. I tell you what, Leslie Ash was in Brighton this week because they’re launching this big Quad40 thing, celebrating 40 years of “Quadrophenia”. Can you believe – 40 years?! ALEX: And then of course when we look back on all the work you’ve done and the beautiful stuff you’ve done on stage. Is there anything like that pin focus still? Can recording a CD compare with standing on stage performing it live? TOYAH: Yellow Brick Road … JASON: I mean they watched “Bohemian Rhapsody”, they love Queen and now it’s all about Elton as well. There was a lad, he must’ve been ten years old on his dad’s shoulders and Elton is banging out “Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting” and this kid is singing the words back to Elton. He was about ten or eleven years old! That is just so powerful, isn’t it, Toyah? TOYAH: He said to me the other day – and I have no memory of this – I was the first person to sing “Slave To The Rhythm”. I was with him when he wrote it - TOYAH: Yeah, my aspirations weren’t normal (they both laugh) I knew as soon as I could walk what I wanted to do. I was a show-off. ALEX: It is a tough world to survive. I wonder – turning 60 … what did that mean to you? I mean was it personally thrilling that you made it to sixty (Toyah laughs) and you look the way you do? Was it professionally – did it matter to you? Was it a big sort of date last year? TOYAH: He was great. He’s a remarkable man, very very intelligent as you’d expect. I’m always blown away about how humble Kate is because she’s a goddess! PHIL MARRIOTT: Toyah Willcox! Fantastic to see you! TOYAH: And it’s going up and up and up because we’ve been doing lots of radio and even last week a promoter contacted me during a live radio show and offered me a festival. The numbers – it’s just tick, tick, tick, tick – going up. The energy – when I’m on stage I don’t know where it comes from. I don’t think I’ve ever gone on stage without that surge of something coming into me that I can’t hold back. TOYAH: There was a petition to save it and give it a heritage plaque. But no, it’s gone, I think it’s flats now. TOYAH: For me the most rewarding part of my life is on stage where there is no mobile phones, there’s no e-mail, there’s no distraction and it’s a very very extraordinary experience which I’m grateful for. JASON: Yeah. I took them to see Elton last week - PHIL: It’s really your roots, isn’t it? TOYAH: I’m very proud of surviving (Alex laughs) I am definitely a survivor and I’ve survived with very very little support. I’ve done virtually all of this myself with my musicians. I manage myself because I can’t find a manager, I cant find a PA. No one wants the lifestyle I have! TOYAH: Well, I am blind to negativity. I just don’t bother with it. Life is so precious , time is so precious. Music is multi-generational and this is what I do. Accept it. We need to learn acceptance in a lot of how we go about our daily lives. So yes – I do do social media but the delete button is very active - RICHARD: Perhaps you can sort of clarify for us, it’s “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” - but it’s partly new and partly re-working of old. Can you just explain for us? TOYAH: OK. It’s not that old, the songs began their lives around 2007 and only the fans that come to see my shows knew these songs. And then on my 60th birthday last year, which was May the 18th, they downloaded everything to number one in the charts - TOYAH: It’s absolutely remarkable – that dedication to his audience. They knew they were in for the night. I think they used to bring pillows and picnic hampers. So we’re doing a lot of celebratory filming this year of that. I was also touring my band endlessly and in 78’,79’ and 80’ you had the first Indie Chart, which was available in The New Musical Express, the biggest music paper at the time. I was number one in those charts every week, every day for two years. You seem to judge yourself more harshly than we do. We think your delicious (Toyah laughs) and we think you’re incredibly talented and we think you’ve done quite enough. Nothing to achieve, it’s already great. Stop pushing! MARK: Can’t wait to see you in our neck of the woods, Toyah, great to catch up! I just found the changes you go through … I found hard. 40 was great fun! 50 was OK but 60 is magnificent! I’m 61 in May. I have loved very minute so far and it’s true – you don’t give a damn, therefore you start enjoying it. JASON: Fabulous! Let’s hear it. Thank you Toyah. RICHARD: Yes. So it’s all the big hits, all the big players. What are you opening with today? TOYAH: I was very cult. I was hugely successful as an actress and as a touring artists but I hadn’t had nationwide hits. So that documentary – wow! Mind-blowing. You ask if I like it? I love it! (Phil laughs) PHIL: It was fascinating to watch as well and also I presume that new fans of yours that didn’t know you back then or didn’t have an insight as to how you started - PHIL: Yeah, I saw that - PHIL: Oh, have they? TOYAH: Yeah, Mayhem’s gone - TOYAH: It’s about being apart from the one you love and dreaming them into the room. TOYAH: I haven’t seen that yet. TOYAH: (laughs) I’m Toyah – yeah. I think it’s very nice that people are saying that I have legendary status. I think it’s because of my age (laughs) TOYAH: Ooh! I don’t know about that. You have to push to a certain extent to do certain things. Especially to get in the big movies. You’d be amazed how hard you have to push to do that. I don’t think I’ll never give up hope on all of these ambitions. ALEX: Wow … Talking about … I could talk to you all day – we should get you in the studio face to face, play album tracks and Greatest Hits and play the current album. You’ve got to come down and see us Toyah, so we can do this properly but Sunday, 26th of May, Theatre Royal Winchester, the 40th anniversary of the wonderful Toyah and you’ll get just a great show with loads of costume changes and Toyah looking gorgeous and being fantastic! We feel going back is where we should be. So there’s none of this feeling “oh, let’s do LA, let’s do New York, lets do Paris”. We belong where we live and that’s a lovely feeling. Recorded at the Ravenshead Village Hall, Ravenshead, Nottingham. TOYAH ON CELEBRITY RADIO 29.3.2019. RICHARD: Well, I don’t know so much about that but listen – you’ve got a brand new album - PHIL: Because we know you’ve touched on the anniversaries of your previous albums - “The Changeling”, you did the anniversaries for those, you’ve got the 35th anniversary of “Minx” (below) coming up - PHIL: I’ve just seen “Us” - which was quite disturbing. PHIL: You’re bouncing all the over the place. How do you do it? TOYAH: And this is what this song is about - PHIL: The reason I asked you that question was because I was at Battersea Dog’s Home just the other day and that is very close to where you used to live - TOYAH: I was across the road. They’ve knocked it down now - They’re all about the grief before the grief actually was there in the world and it’s a common theme in “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”. It’s how grief makes us better people. It makes us stronger, it makes our love stronger, makes our hearts stronger because you have to reach out further to find those you love. So for me that’s a very powerful message. MARK: It does make sense, My colleague here who is - I think 49 next month – she said to me “I really wanted to be Toyah because she was the cool one”. Were you aware back in the day that you were this person that they were trying to copy, emulate your style? ALEX: Aww … Toyah, we’ve got to do this properly soon! Thank you so much and have a great night at the Theatre Royal Winchester Sunday night! ALEX BELFIELD: Toyah Willcox, how are you? TOYAH: Well, it’s a song of empowerment. It a song that tells people with no confidence that they are miraculous, they are sensational. You can watch the interview here. PHIL: And proving again that you always want to look forward as well. That gave me a lot of confidence, I was probably the least talented there but I was the most driven. I can’t express how important it is to have drive. I think it was this whole thing – I think I was used to being mocked by my family and not being taken seriously. It just made me so determined to succeed. TOYAH: Well, my husband says that it’s actually being wrapped up in a spiritual experience, that water is our connected spirituality as mankind and I think that’s a nice way to look at it. We do flood a lot there and when we flood its very cold water so I’m kind of keeping the positive and the negative on equal balance - TOYAH: Back then I was three stone heavier. You know, today there is nothing wrong with that – back then in the movie industry and the music industry … as soon as signed on a label I had to loose that weigh. I was complicit. It was absolutely fine, I didn’t mind at all. I kind of lost it when filming “Quadrophenia” because we were on so many amphetamines to get through that film! (they both laugh) All of us were popping pills like … aarrghh! It was a fabulous experience! ALEX: Have you put your finger on what that is – what do these people do that I don’t do? TOYAH: I’ve ran away from David Bowie twice because I just couldn’t handle his presence. The first time was when he was appearing at the Milton Keynes Bowl. I think that was about 1983 and Phil Daniels and I – Phil Daniels of “Quadrophenia” - were backstage and we sneaked on stage and we were sitting on the runway going up to the stage and Bowie walked off stage and came and sat right next to us and Phil was going (mouths silently) and I was going “oh my God, oh my God!” (Alex laughs) and we ran! We ran! PHIL: Yeah. What I love about it though, particularly, it seems really current still even though it was recorded the first time around over ten years ago but there’s some tracks on there which seem almost like a reaction to what’s going on politically in the UK and the US. I just want to read through some of these titles. There’s “Hyperventilate”, there’s “Heal Ourselves”, “Bad Man” - All the big hits that were in the charts, “It’s A Mystery”, “Thunder In The Mountains” and so on. Where did young Toyah get that confidence and that courage to stand up and be counted? TOYAH: We absolutely love it and there seems to be an invisible rule. We live on the High Street between two shops, I mean we couldn’t be more visible but I think the community has made an invisible rule to let us have a normal life. TOYAH: I still do - TOYAH: Yeah! PHIL: Your photographer as well. He also works with Boy George and Boy George I seem to remember was in your documentary - TOYAH: Yes, at Mayhem - From about '75 into '76 right through to about '85 … everything fell in my lap. It was to do with this being unique and being quite strange and not fitting in to the mould. I ended up working with Laurence Olivier, Katherine Hepburn, John Mills, Diana Dors and I had three platinum albums. It was just remarkable , utterly remarkable. ALEX: You’ve got that great thing though like Cliff, Cilla and all these people - that you have a legendary status - TOYAH: No, it was just no problem walking out on that one! It was just - TOYAH: Incredibly humble. I don’t know if you know she used to bring Bertie (Kate’s son) to my house before anyone knew Bertie existed. My father used to take them both out on his boat on the river Avon PHIL: Oh wow … I loved him in the show as well. TOYAH: It’s my roots and I think “Sheep Farming In Barnet” is such an important album. “Blue Meaning” - really important album. They’re so original , they’re so quirky and they still sound fresh. They really deserve their place with the younger generations. ALEX: You’ve nothing to prove, you’re working harder than you’ve ever worked. It must be thrilling and liberating in a way to know what we know what we’re going to get. It’s a guaranteed cheque when we come and see you - that you’re going to deliver? So I just keep on filling that diary and see what happens! (Alex laughs) Tonight we’re doing an acoustic show and I like to think that the acoustic is helping me to become a better musician and a singer because when you only have two guitars and three voices you’ve really got to be spot on. And it’s taught me so much doing this show. PHIL: Ooh sleep, I love sleep, I could go to sleep right now. TOYAH: I am very conscious how important it is to give young women and even just young people – a positive message. My generation did have it easy in comparison to today. We could buy houses, we could buy cars. I feel very very responsible and conscious of the fact that we have to give people hope. JASON: And what about those musicians who criticise those younger singer songwriters, no names being mentioned, on the road right now. Is that fair or are some of them accurate? RICHARD: And what’s happening with “In The Court OF The Crimson Queen” because you’ve got the autumn tour coming? So I’ve been doing this – the 80’s revival started in 2002 when I was asked if I’d like to play Wembley and I said yeah! (Mark laughs) I’ve been waiting for 40 years, of course I want to play Wembley! (laughs) I haven’t looked back since. It’s just been a phenomena . For my generation of artists - the doors just opened and it hasn’t stopped. JASON: Isn’t it good? TAMMY: I can … yeah, yeah - ALEX: I listened to this entire CD all the way through and there were two songs that stood out. And what’s remarkable about this double album is that it’s so eclectic and one minute we’ve got these beautiful ballads and the next minute we’ve got you at your height where you’re doing these sort of outrageous songs and playing on the sort of big ballad stuff and the rock stuff. TOYAH: I highly recommended it! No one tells young people they’ve got something to look forward to (laughs) It’s fabulous! 30 was hard – my thirties were terribly difficult because you’re biologically dealing with everyone asking when are you going to have babies, which I found very very infuriating. PHIL: An other-worldly force - TOYAH: And no one take s no for an answer - ALEX: Shall we bother talking about Brexit? TOYAH: (laughs) I will! On my 60th birthday last year the fans downloaded me to number one in the charts and I was unsigned and it lead to many people saying “we can’t give you radio play, you have to be a signed artist”. So Demon Records picked the album up, we’ve added five new songs to the album. It’s been one hell of a journey getting this into the shops and on the pre-order chart it went straight to number one and of course I’ve been touring this music for 12 years. JASON: Yeah, I can imagine. What about this latest record then that you’re going to play for us. Is it about something specific? TAMMY: It’s lovely, yeah - TAMMY: Isn’t that great … Let’s talk about another track on the album. How about “Sensational”. What’s that about? TOYAH: Oh, that is such a good question! I would’ve acted on my moments of inspiration rather than thinking that they would always be available and what I mean by that you do have bursts of insight that are definitely meant to be acted on. TOYAH ON BBC RADIO SUSSEX WITH MARK CARTER 14.4.2019. PHIL: Amazing! Do you find that a lot of that is a blur - your career in the 80’s - Today I think it’s rather a fantastic time for women because I think women can be sexually very open. They can have multiple partners if they want multiple partners. It was quite hard to do that 30-40 years ago. They can be gay, they can be straight, they can choose their gender. I think that is all really healthy. What I would like to see is that that can happen without anyone batting an eyelid. Funny enough – you ask me … that you know, everyone knows who I am and I’m legendary … I only feel now, and about to turn 61, that I’m arriving. And I think that’s thanks to my writing partnership with Simon Darlow because I think “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” - if it was my swan song I am very happy with it. MARK: An incredibly loyal following that you’ve had over the years as well? PHIL: There is air punching going on there … TOYAH: The acoustic I love and I know it’s going to be good. It’s just a magical show. We even had a stage invasion in Otley last week (Alex laughs) There’s just something about this show. I think people are so close they go a bit bonkers. Arenas – we do the festivals so we do experience the large audiences, you know, between 30 and 60 000 and I’m more frightened for those than I will be tonight. MARK: Love it! Now, how much of your career, I’m intrigued by this - how much of your career in the early days did you manage to shape or was it shaped for you? TOYAH: Oh yeah! Tell me about it! TOYAH: I certainly did TAMMY: Not far from where I grew up in the 60’s, the 70’s. Interesting time politically and socially. What were your aspirations and what was the young Toyah like? What did you want to do? JASON: Wow ! Such a powerful message in that record - TOYAH: We’ve got to tell our children that they have the world, that they inherit the world - The whole album is just me and my co-writer Simon Darlow, who by the way wrote “Salve To The Rhythm” for Grace Jones. Simon and I started writing when I was 19 and he was 17, that’s when we first met and that’s how long our relationship has been as writers. So “Dance In The Hurricane” started as just the intro with a narrator telling the story of the Crimson Queen and then it went into four bars of drums. And for a year I’ve been persuading Simon that those four bars of drums is a major song and eventually I pinned him down and we got the song! I finished the lyrics in January, we recorded it, it took a while because I couldn’t stop crying while recording it because both of my parent’s passed away while making this album - TOYAH: We’ve got John Humphrey on percussions and we’ve got Chris Wong on guitar, Andy Doble on keyboards - PHIL: It’s quite different, it’s a lot longer. TOYAH ON BBC RADIO DEVON WITH RICHARD GREEN 20.4.2019. TOYAH: There’s some extreme, very one off, on their own things happened … My band really looked after me. I remember getting to Leeds, sometime in 1979, to a club and it was height of the fear of the Yorkshire Ripper. And firstly I arrived at this club and my wonderful lighting man said to me “do not stay here alone. The club owner thinks he has a right to sleep with you. Do not go anywhere – not even the ladies (room) - without one of us escorting you.“ TAMMY: That’s amazing. And in terms of your career it isn’t all about the singing because there’s acting too. You were at Birmingham Rep School for a little while because my brother was there and his claim to fame was “I was at Rep School with Toyah”. But you’re not acting now are you, you’re doing this, that and the other, you know - TOYAH: I loved that school! It was very rinky dink and I absolutely loved it, it was my happiest time. We were in a real theatre and for me to be in something that’s real – (rather than) if you’re on a film set or a TV studio – you absorb it and I loved being at the Old Rep Theatre. You can watch this interview on Youtube here. Some of it was only finished in January but my audience know this album and they want it so I feel I’ve kind of walked backwards into this particular bout of success and it’s down to my audience supporting me and I’m very grateful. PHIL: Because that features in the documentary. Is that something you’ve seen recently – that documentary? PHIL: It was the “Warrior Rock” show (below) TOYAH: Yeah. TOYAH: But we are doing dates throughout the year right up until that point where we’re playing the new songs in so I feel the whole year is actually dedicated to the new album RICHARD: I know sometimes you do sort of more intimate concerts as well where you’re sort of a bit more slimmed down, dare I say a more acoustic - TOYAH: Well, at that time there was no social media, there were no mobile phones, no one could take pictures of me on the street so in a way that made it very easy to be a strange fish in a large pool. So I was a hair model for a very big department store from the age of 14 because I had remarkable hair and very quickly I started to dye my hair all colours under the rainbow and that gave me a very unique identity at the time. TOYAH: Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! (Watch the documentary here (My googledrive) PHIL: Do you get kind of taken back when you were singing them the first time around? TOYAH: (on the phone) Hello! I think I’ve been doing it for more years than your audience have been born for! TOYAH: My husband Robert and I have this conversation – we have it regularly, but we only had it two days ago – I’m now turning 61, he’s now turning 73 - And I had a new album out in April called “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”, which is still doing incredibly well. It charted so we are going to be featuring that as well. JASON: It is that sort of vibe. Can I just ask you about … as we get older – about music. I love my music. I’m so lucky to have a job where I sit and – not only do I play music at home and in the car but play tracks to listeners as well – love it. When she came into the room – because in those days you’d have three months rehearsal for one of these drama series - when she came into the room she owned the room. It was “Hello darlings! How are you?” And everyone was included and the conversation was loud and brash and the stories were legendary – kind of 1960’s London. But of course she worked with Elvis Presley, she had a fling with Elvis Presley - so she branched right across to Hollywood and back. Her stories were rich in this vein of 1960’s rock culture. She was electrifying. So I’m in the Bristol area at the end of October playing The Fleece which is my favourite venue in the area. It’s hot, it’s sweaty. People queue around the block to get in and that for me is what music is about. MARK: How fantastic! And “Dance In The Hurricane” is fabulous. It kind of sums up somebody walking through your path in life and that is, may I say, what you’ve done brilliantly over the years, isn’t it? (They play “Dance In The Hurricane”) PHIL: I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t walk – I was just dumbfounded. TOYAH: Every time I do a recording I expect it to be the best thing I’ve ever done. And every time I walk on stage I expect it to be the best show I’ve ever done. That has never changed. Do the do compare? Yes. Recording a CD you always think about the connections it’s going to create. Therefore you’re thinking and hoping and expecting that that is going to connect you to a future. It’s always been the same, its never been any different. This year we’ve got “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” coming out. It’s gone beyond on what we thought would happen. In the pre-order chart it went number one across the board. It’s out on April the 12th and fingers crossed we’ll get a chart position with that. But it’s just been great – in the last two days I’ve done 50 radio interviews and people are loving the music. So you ask what I am? This year I’m dominantly a singer but I’m also doing a movie. I’ve got a great movie coming up in June. TOYAH: Oh my God - I loved it! PHIL: This is the really exciting thing – the fact that you were playing Queen Elizabeth. You obviously didn’t play that role the first time round, you played “Mad” in the movie. I found that a really good connection because it really freshened things up, it made the production really exiting - TOYAH: It’s my work, it’s my identity so we are actually focusing on “Minx” and trying to get it back which means I could do an awful lot with it. TOYAH: Thank you so much Mark, great to talk to you! So because of the history of time to write and complete it it is commenting on things that have been going on for many many years. When we started writing this there was plenty of unrest in the world, there’s was plenty of things going on far away in other countries that none of us want to have happening. TOYAH: They would’ve definitely fitted and what’s interesting is we’re told if we’re doing an 80’s show - “keep it 80's” - but I didn’t realise that a lot of artists just don’t - TOYAH: Well, thank you. “Dance In The Hurricane” I think for me will be my epitaph, it’s what I want to be remembered for, it’s that one song I feel as an artist, thank you, I know why I’ve done this for 40 years. We only completed the song in January. Has it been fun? It seems to me you’ve had one of the most blessed careers. You’ve always been in work, you’ve always been relevant and it’s always been good stuff and that’s the trickiest thing, isn’t it? We can all work but is it good stuff? Because really I think it’s nobody’s business what your sexuality is and what your gender is. I’ve always kind of fought being seen as a person and I think that is on its way and that’s a good thing. TOYAH: Oh, huge horror fan! TOYAH: I don’t know but there’s some very special people out there. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are a little like that as well. So this meant that people suddenly pricked up their ears and went oh! And we got offered a recording contract and we said we want to make this “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” how we originally wanted it to be but with a bit of a budget. TOYAH: I was just very happy for her. I went backstage after to speak to her and to be with her for a bit. It’s funny … she - the success of it didn’t seemed to have touched her. She was just Kate and - TOYAH: It’s a mess that can’t be solved! It just can’t be solved! (Alex laughs) You know who ever gets that chalice is going to be poisoned. It just can’t - TOYAH: They should watch it. TOYAH: No, really … I’m clueless! I’m clueless! (Alex laughs) I don’t know how they’re going to do it - TOYAH ON PHIL MARRIOTT MEETS 3.4.2019. TOYAH: I’m really uncomfortable with being identified as feminine. I always have been. I’m very tomboy, I definitely have a masculine soul. I believe in reincarnation and I’m absolutely certain that I was Attila The Hun or something like that in a past life. I’m so masculine and it’s nothing to do with sexuality. It’s just to do with attitude. I think we have - all of us - the right to be our individual selves. TOYAH: Yeah. I’d like to control it. I often think if I could just stand still on stage I might be a better artist. I just don’t know where it comes from. RICHARD: It is. OK - so a relatively short set. Shorter than if you were doing your own show of course - TOYAH: Yeah, sometimes I have really amazing dreams that are so tangible that I think that was not a dream, that was something else – that was a lesson . So I always take those particularly seriously. At the moment I’m dreaming a lot about tidal waves - MARK: Wonderful. And of course a lot of that film is in our neck of the woods in Sussex - TOYAH: I’ve been on the road for 42 years (Jason laughs) But I suppose the present phenomena with me started in 2002. I was performing in a theatre in the West End and I got a fax saying “do you want to play Wembley Arena?” and I thought it was a joke. It was one of these big 80’s line-ups and I’ve just never looked back. TOYAH: Even though I didn’t have national success - the success that was going to come in '81 … On a kind of underground cult level I was phenomenally successful. Filling venues, touring all the time, charting. I had an album out in 79’ called “Blue Meaning” which went straight to number 2 in the album charts. TAMMY: My! That’s such a brilliant story! I absolutely love that! I love it! Because of course we know that you’ve always written songs that they kind of challenge and inspire and about being true to yourself . “I Want To Be Free” - I remember seeing that and thinking it’s awesome , I love that! TOYAH: I had success last year with a release called “Desire” and that just sold out and when the vinyl arrived through the post in my home I thought “oh, this is a really nice feeling!” I feel like an artist again – I’ve got vinyl! PHIL: Well, that’s it, dreams are I suppose a link to reality - it’s bouncing back off reality … TOYAH: My aspirations – I wanted to be the biggest rock star in the world (Tammy laughs) and the biggest actress in the world TAMMY: Oh well, there you go! PHIL: More psychological - TOYAH: Well, we sat down to relisten to the album about six months ago and we thought this is not a bad album. It still, like you said, feels very current. Simon Darlow, my co-writer and I - and by the way Simon plays everything on the album – we thought this deserves a worldwide commercial release. Let’s go with it, let’s add some fairy dust and the new tracks and just treat it as a new release. JASON: So it’s inspirational - PHIL: It’s a very small world, Toyah, because the video for “Sensational”, one of the tracks on the album, is directed by Dean Stockings - JASON: Toyah, that was absolutely magnificent ! Live on BBC Radio 2 here on “Good Morning Sunday”. You know what - as a parent, I’ve got three kids, you’ve kind of touched me here. Very emotional there listening to that, especially the words “be loud, be heard, be proud” TOYAH: Well, yes - TOYAH: No, I think it’s about 58 - TOYAH: Oh, thank you. At the Scoop Theatre four years ago. And some of the tracks have been in movies so we’ve now had the chance thanks to a record deal to group it together, repackage it, so I’d say to anyone out there who knows nothing about me this is actually a sparkly new album. TOYAH: And it took me a year to explain to him that those four bars are so magical that they have to be the opening song on this album. And we made it happen and I still believe after days and days of radio promo (Tammy laughs) that “Dance In A Hurricane” is the one song I want to be remembered for. JASON: They loved it and they got into “Rocketman” so they’ve got into Elton’s songs a bit later - PHIL: Seeing the future – with your songs, with your songwriting - TOYAH: Oh no, I watch horror all the time. “Piewit” (?) or something is on my desk at the moment to watch. You really got me there … Oh, I think the remake “Halloween” was the last one - PHIL: The second time I was upstairs and I kind of saw the whole stage but the first time I was right by the stage and I couldn’t walk afterwards. It was a really bizarre thing - ALEX: If there is one woman who can sort it out it’s you! TOYAH: I would just like a percentage of that (Tammy laughs) TAMMY: She is a business woman after all! (both laughs) Toyah, we need to reminiscence a little bit because you grew up – is it in King’s Heath in Birmingham? You’ve got to bear in mind I believe my husband and I are slightly on the spectrum of autism and Asperger’s. We don’t compromise with each other. He felt I was not playing to the metronome and he refused to play any more with me TAMMY: Oh no! TOYAH: So yeah, you might be able to hear us arguing about playing together (Tammy laughs) but actually playing together … no! TAMMY: (laughs) “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” is the new album from Toyah. You are touring – do you still get that buzz from being on the road all these years on? TOYAH: You mean the terror? Yeah, I do! (Tammy laughs) It’s what I do. I’ve never done anything else. It’s part of me. Yes, I do get nervous but I would be more nervous if I wasn’t doing it, so there you go. For the next track – I think it should be “Telepathic Lover” which is great one to rock out to. PHIL: Being put in a box? But back then you didn’t get radio coverage if you were an album selling artist so I was enjoying success, wonderful success – it’s probably one of the happiest times of my life because everything had a Midas Touch to it – my acting and my music and I had no idea what was about to come in 1981. It was a lovely time of innocence and joy with everything doing really really well. JASON: Good stuff! Well, listen, thank you so much for coming in to see us. I know you’re going to play some live music with your band … By the way who’ve got here this morning? TOYAH: Well, I don’t feel old enough (laughs) Life is very good at the moment so I feel exactly the same I did forty years ago. PHIL: Because you’re doing 30 shows this year. Over 30 - JASON: Yes, it is (laughs) TOYAH: I just don’t pick up negativity and we can talk about this in a minute. My mother was particularly negative and I’ve learned to survive and it’s as simple as that. We are all gloriously miraculous just being here, floating on a rock in a very immense universe - TOYAH: Yeah! I don’t know whether it’s my pituitary glands or what, I like to think it’s an other-worldly force PHIL: I wanted to ask about identity because when you were young you resented femininity - And let me put this in perspective – it’s in the office from 8 in the morning til about 4 in the afternoon, drive to the venue, do a gig, drive home, back in the office til 4 in the morning. That’s the schedule. No one wants to be a part of that. I kind of have to find people with an equal amount of insomnia that I have. It’s hard … it’s hard. But it’s wonderful. Therefore I’ve had complete freedom to choose my path and it meant that I created my own projects and they all did very very well and even today I manage myself, which means I can remain true to myself TAMMY: Toyah, it’s interesting isn’t it, because we talked about kind of walking your own path and being yourself and having autonomy. Are you then defiantly walking your own path in 2019? How is life? PHIL: Yeah, at Battersea - TOYAH: Yeah, Boy George very kindly tweeted the link to the video so he’s been very supportive. PHIL: You’re not one to look back, you just want to concentrate on what’s coming up? RICHARD: Wow! That’s nice though, isn’t it? TOYAH: I love that documentary. I’d love to own it, I could do a lot with that. It was shot and directed by Graham Moore. I am so grateful because that turned everything around for me. To have an hour long documentary on ITV on a Thursday night, 9 o'clock, prime time. It was phenomenal! Really all he angels were looking after me that day because it was all the music – and this was before “It’s A Mystery” - PHIL: I was going to say this was before you really became successful. I mean you were successful then because you had a loyal fan base - RICHARD: Hello! How are you doing? TOYAH: It’s amazing! “I Want To Be Free” is always the fun one because they always sing along to everything I do but somehow “I Want To Be Free” has an anarchy to it still so they not only sing along – they shout it along! TAMMY: Oh, is it?! Ooh! TOYAH: People who refuse to believe have said they will never go in hat house again - ALEX: You look amazing and you sound better than ever. I just stood here for twenty minutes watching you soundcheck for a gig tonight and my God! What a voice! I mean it’s operatic, isn’t it? I didn’t know about punk rock and this was about 1974/5 and then a friend said to me “you should really go and see the Sex Pistols” at Bogart’s in Birmingham. That was ‘75 and I really thought up until that point I was the only punk in the village. I was in a room with 350 kids who were all dying their hair, all making their own clothes. And I thought “where were you?! I’m been so lonely so many years!” And here we all are – the tribe. It was a very lucky time for me. TAMMY: Awww … TOYAH: And we live in a time when social media … it’s so lacking in intelligence and imagination to be critical. Negativity is easy, that’s why it flows. I think it takes a strong person to complement another. You come across young girls who have no confidence but you also come across boys who’ve no confidence and I’ve seen more eating disorders for example in boys than I have in girls. We should all have a right to tell someone, even if we know them or don’t know them, that they are remarkable. I’m always going up to someone saying “my God you look fantastic!” because I appreciate the making the effort. TOYAH: Well yeah, it’s inevitable it’s going to be Greatest Hits because I’ve released in my career 28 albums and I’ve got to cherry-pick from this catalogue what we’re going to be playing so virtually every song is a single. TOYAH: Well, some women would’ve wanted that job. I just didn’t want that job. It wasn’t hard to walk out on that one. For me I think knowing that I was not tall, not particularly feminine – that I had to just be individualistic and I knew that was how I was going to survive. Which kind of made me very bombastic and full of bravado. I just knew I haven’t got the feminine card to play. ALEX: And what a great time to be alive and working. I don’t know if we started today we would have the same stories. There are those type of legends around you can speak of and people take in a breath. TOYAH: Thank you Alex, good to meet you. PHIL: And a lot of those songs are quite dark as well – I think a lot of young people would resonate - PHIL: You’ve always been a fan as have I. You were the first artist I ever saw live in 1982 - TOYAH: Wow! An in a song like “Bad Man” I’m talking about – we so often put people into cliched images, cliched accusations where actually, deep beneath the skin, they’re pussycats. So I like to invert meanings and I like to throw away stereotypes. ALEX: You’ve achieved so much in your career. I mean when I read down the list of 24 albums and 40 shows you’ve appeared in, over 30 films. I mean it’s a remarkable legacy you’re leaving for the world to enjoy. PHIL: In like two years, what is it – it was ’ 85 - TOYAH: The world has changed considerably and I’m learning every day about what a download chart is, what downloads are, how people can write and respond and comment online. It’s still a huge learning curve for me. I feel as if I’m coming to the tip of the tidal wave and learning to surf it. TOYAH: I was pretty much the driving force. There’s two blades to my career – I’m not the kind of artist that the mega managers want to manage. I’m just not in that league but also people realise I’m very good at managing myself, which is what I do. I’m very quirky, I don’t fit in any mold therefore I think my lack of international success has allowed to mold myself into what I am today. RICHARD: Ah yes, yes - TOYAH: Because that is a song of inclusion and we open the set with that and the whole audience is dancing and singing it back RICHARD: It’s always good to open with a belter that they know, isn’t it? In terms of what you have to put in your set list - TOYAH: Some of them are prophetic so when I’m singing “Neon Womb” my mother was still alive but when I wrote it I was aware of the future so there’s little things like that. The same with “Race Through Space”. TOYAH: So every day I went to my office and I looked at number 4 Flood Street, Chelsea, where she lived and I thought “I wonder if she knows?” TOYAH IN CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE MAY 2019 (ISSUE 52) TOYAH: And the vinyl is bright cerise pink PHIL: For Record Store Day. I think it brings back the excitement of buying music, doesn’t it? TOYAH: Well, vinyl I think is saving the music business at the moment. It’s the biggest seller. When we announced the vinyl I went straight to number one in the pre-order charts across the board so it just shows how popular vinyl is. TOYAH: Thank you so much, Richard! RICHARD: 20th of October in The Fleece in Bristol, yea h. It’s highly individualistic and I think people want to be seen as individuals today than any other time in history. So I just think it’s all encompassing. I know I wrote it for stadiums so it’s perfect when you’ve got an environment like today. TOYAH: I think I would’ve found a way. If I was in the world today as a teenager I would’ve been on social media, I would’ve been on Youtube. I would’ve found a way. I was a pretty outrageous kid and I’ve always liked challenging taboos and there’s still plenty of taboos to challenge. That’s the biggest advice I give to anyone on Youtube. Look at the taboos and break them. TOYAH: It’s a really good question because I have to work - psychologically I have to work. If the phone isn’t ringing or I’m not creating something I don’t really exist. I just sit there … blank. So I always create projects and by creating projects other things come in. I mean last year I was playing Queen Elizabeth the First in the stage version of “Jubilee” which was a complete surprise. But also it featured my music. JASON: Which is “Dance In The Hurricane” - TOYAH: The year has just gone crazy! ALEX: I’m alright. How are you? TOYAH: They’re very loyal. I perform live a lot. Mainly in England, I do four shows a week throughout the year. I tour two shows constantly – one is the acoustic show which allows the older members of my audience to feel that they can relax and sit and listen to stories and music and then I have my really loud energetic rock band that tends to play on Saturday and Sundays (they both chuckle) That’s when people can dance for 90 minutes. RICHARD: I know, because it’s been a bit cloudy and a bit overcast … The sun’s come out, it’s blisteringly hot - TOYAH: The audience are already up for it and what is it? It’s barely one o'clock and they’re just having the time of their lives already. This is what’s it’s about. This is about them. And it’s about good weather and a beautiful beautiful location. It’s looking like a perfect day already. TOYAH: They’re wonderfully dark - TOYAH: No, I wouldn’t. Really. I don’t have that knowledge (Alex laughs) And I’m not good at being criticised and having negativity thrown at you 24 hours a day. It’s just lovely and all of your paraphernalia around the house, fabulous! How is life living in Worcestershire with your husband, you’re both very famous … And that’s kind of a big message within “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”, especially within “Sensational”. That the world is yours, it just needs to be slightly reorganised and you’re going to be the people to do it. ALEX: Help me with what it’s like being a woman in 2019? Where are we at now? It must be very difficult because we’ve got #MeToo and all of that. What would you have thought of that if that was around in the 60’s? Does it help or not help? (They play “Sensational”) TOYAH: It’s just been fantastic. So it’s a double edged sword. It’s been good, it’s been difficult and I think in the long term it’s been a blessing. I just don’t fit in anywhere and people don’t know how to manage me. But I realise because of that I’ve created my own projects and they’ve done well. Does that make sense? TOYAH: You’ve got to bear in mind I’ve got 42 to years of - PHIL: Oh yeah, that was great, I was so buzzing about that because it’s my favourite all time film - And then it’s lead to adding the five new songs on “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” and it’s going at the speed of light! So sixty so far – and I’ve only got one month left being sixty – has been one of the best years of my life. ALEX: It’s inspiring though – that old school ethic. He wanted to put on a show and he wouldn’t get off stage until he felt he’d done that. The new songs actually work very well. When you’re playing acoustically it allows you to work with the harmonics, they just stand out better. It’s a very satisfying thing to do. We did a small court room in Otley last Saturday and we had a stage invasion (Richard laughs) And it was absolutely hysterical . The three of us on stage in this tiny venue and we had a stage invasion. It has the same energy and the same intention as the band shows. JASON: Very well said - TOYAH: No one’s going to tell me I’m not good - ALEX: How incredible. I wonder where you got that tenacity and confidence from? Was it your parents, was it your family? Where did you did find that from within you where other girls may have felt forced to do what ever he wanted of them - you had the tenacity to stand up and walk out. Most people wouldn’t be that brave … PHIL: Yeah, because you’ve got a lot of new tracks on there as well. TOYAH: We’re asking the record company to give that back to me at the moment. A lot record companies own stuff that they’re not active with and we believe as artists it’s our human right to ask for it back - ALEX: That we only need your first name - ALEX: I just have to rewind there, just a couple of things I want to pick up on. First of all I would imagine Katherine Hepburn was a lovely lovely lady. Did you sit down, get down time, you know – get Hollywood stories from her? TOYAH: Y eah, I agree with everything you’ve just said. Also I think a lot of artists don’t realise that if you’re not on top of the business side that’s when problems come in. It’s as easy as that. You just have to keep an eye on everything and I do admit that most business people are slightly scared of me because I pick things up very quickly (Alex laughs) “Excuse me, what’s that in the contract? Excuse me! ” TOYAH: Yeah and the fans have made it a huge success already. Two weeks ago in the pre-order chart, which is what happens now and it gives you a sense if something will chart – I went number one across the board in all the rock charts in the pre-orders - RICHARD: Are where are you Toyah on that one, I’m just going to pin you down, are you a vinyl sort of tactile person – I suspect you probably are - RICHARD: They would’ve fitted though wouldn’t they - because they were songs of empowerment and so are some of the songs from back you’re doing today? TAMMY: What’s that about? TOYAH: It’s the only life I know. I couldn’t be any other way and I don’t feel I’ve actually arrived yet. I can only put this is perspective and this is a direct quote from Lulu on Radio 2. Someone asked her a similar question and she said “I’m hoping to be discovered ” and you know that’s what it feels like! (Alex laughs) TOYAH: I’m really good, thank you. JASON: Nice too see you. Listeners now know what this studio is like here in Salford. What’s it like being back on the road and you’ve got a record out as well, Toyah? JASON: OK, we’d love to hear it. JASON: Love it! Toyah live here on BBC Radio 2. Lot’s of our listeners are getting in touch – this is lovely, this is Sally who says “Good morning Jason, good morning Toyah. I’m absolutely loving Toyah’s words and music and listening to you talking about losing our parents – we lost our dad many years ago and our mum in March this year. We miss them both very much indeed” … but your words have provided comfort for them this morning - ALEX: It is depressing in 2019 as I sit here shocked that you tell me that men would just come and grope you. It’s incredible to me as a 39 year old man. I can’t imagine a world where that existed but that was the case. TOYAH: And “Hurricane” is surviving loss and finding positivity and love again. It’s a very passionate song that I feel I only could’ve written at the age of sixty. I love it and to hear you say you love it means a lot. TOYAH: Yes. I am doing what I want to do. Did you know that Ken Dodd had a clause in all his contracts that he couldn’t go on beyond midnight? RICHARD: Sneak a tune in - TOYAH: Yeah, they don’t do what they’re told. So next time … I’ll sneak in “Hurricane” and “21st Century Super Sister” and “Sensational” - TOYAH: So good, so good! What did they think of it? PHIL: Oh, I haven’t seen – Lars Von … PHIL: Now, we’ve got the album which you’ve just put on the table. I have to say gorgeous because of the colours of this … But as we get older I often have these conversations – my kids love music as well – have these conversations you know “can we put something else on, kids?” Am I getting old or is that something that happens when it comes to music? MARK: Thank you. Bonnie Tyler was on the show the other day and she sounded like she is having the time of her life, she is into her sixties and absolutely loves it. She’s got a new album out as well at the moment and you sound like this is the best time in your life as well? TOYAH: It’s been very frustrating to live with that amount of ambition. Very frustrating TAMMY: Interestingly I did read a story and you can correct me if I’m wrong, because there’s loads of rubbish out there … At school, didn’t you set off an alarm clock during a visit to the school by a certain PM? TOYAH: I did. Just imagine doing this today. Margaret Thatcher was the Minister of Education I think about ‘72. She came to my very posh all girl school to talk about the future of education to the pupils, to the parents and the teachers and me just being an absolute wally (Tammy laughs) … PHIL: These are people that have such rich life experience, it was perfect for the role, wasn’t it? TOYAH: It was brilliantly cast. Every single person in that play had a message – have a message. They’re all activists, they’re all sexual politics activists, they’re all gender activists, they’re political activists and for me being good 40 years older than most of them … I had to learn a new language. But some people just have this aura that just blows you away! I had to sit with Zack Efron for an interview once. Gorgeous boy! Absolutely gorgeous but I could just feel the aura pushing me out of the picture … (Alex laughs) TOYAH: OK. Well, I think “Suspiria” is a classic. It works, it wasn’t broken, don’t mend it PHIL: So what was the last horror you saw? Was it “It”? Or “The House That Jack Built”? TOYAH: Yes, that’s going to be rocking! That is “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” tour so that’s going to be very loud. TOYAH : So I just feel this is all part of a greater thing TAMMY: Hmm. Yeah, I think you’re right as well. Talking of home, you know, we have two magnificent musicians living in one house … Is there any chance that the neighbours, as mush as they’re being very cool about you being there and all of that – do they ever hear you having a little jam in the living room? No … or? (laughs) I’d love to live on your street – can you imagine! PHIL: Do you still suffer from insomnia - TOYAH: It’s terrible! And people get so annoyed with me because I’m pinging out emails all hours of the night. I only achieve deep sleep between seven and ten in the morning. Tracks like “Sensational”, which is being treated as a single at the moment. That was written in 2007 and it’s been in my set, in my live touring for all that time and the audience know every single word to it. So I don’t know if you know the story of what happened and why this album is being released? TOYAH: I’m really good, it’s the most perfect day. Summer is definitely here! It’s that whole kind of social gathering of people just wanting desperately to get in and then giving them a 150% in a lovely sweaty atmosphere. So I’m doing – well, I’m just working the whole year doing music. The album has been a phenomenal success. It’s been a critical success … So that’s going to keep me going - TOYAH: Well, we were guests with PRS (Stage) (below), we played there about three years ago. It was magnificent. You can feel … you arrive in this massive kind of city of people and you can feel it! It’s very very wonderful! And so upbeat ! That might sound strange – I’m scared of big crowds but everyone was so happy! RICHARD: Great! TOYAH: And at that time I was an unsigned artist and politically to get radio play and presence you have to be on a label. So a label called Demon Records said “we have to release this because there’s an audience who desperately want it”. So the first song of the album, “Sensational”, did start its life around 2009. It became the theme for Weight Watchers so it was on telly all the time. ALEX: It seems like you were born to be on stage. When we look back to your childhood that’s sort of in a congress in a way because you were so shy and so bullied and really to stand up on stage today must be a huge strain still or is it a second home? PHIL: Good to see you Toyah, all the best. JASON: I just want to ask you about Glastonbury. Have you done Glastonbury? JASON: Yay! Thank you very much indeed. Lovely to see you, God bless, thank you. So we added drums, we added bass, remixed and remastered and we added five new tracks. So this album has already had an extraordinary life. It was only available to the fans but virtually every track on the album has been in the musical version of “Crime And Punishment” - And we have to remain a creative society. If we’re too busy losing ourselves in our phones we’re going to lose a cultural strength because we are all brilliant at expressing ourselves. We must be encouraged to go deep and express ourselves and that’s what songwriting is. TAMMY: I’m alright. How are you? TOYAH: OK, this is a really important track to me. It’s off “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” and it was originally written because we wanted to – Simon Darlow, my co-writer and I – wanted to submit it to the Paralympics and partly because I’ve had to learn to walk again three times. PHIL: The psyche. Listen Toyah, it’s been fantastic to see you. I wish you all the best with the album “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen” - TOYAH: Thank you. TOYAH: I don’t think there is ego. I think she’s incredibly clever like that. There’s incredible knowledge, very hard work, but I don’t think there’s ego. But she is very protective of her work. TOYAH: Oh, definitely! Yes, and I think about 8 years ago a very famous supermarket based it’s clothing line on my look in ‘79 so I am aware of that but I don’t behave like an influencer. I just want to be me and I want to be a creative person. I can’t give my life to continual Instagram and facebook. I just can’t do it. It’s too busy. But I am aware of it and I’m also very respectful of it as well. PHIL: Ooh … TOYAH: And they’re in the most bizarre places. I live on the river Avon and I keep dreaming about tidal waves coming down the river Avon - TOYAH: Yeah. And that was very important because Derek - like most men of his persuasion back then … because he suffered a lot. He suffered a lot of physical violence and verbal violence and he had a really horrible death. And luckily people aren’t dying quite like that from the AIDS virus now. JASON: Did the Welsh crowd treat you well? MARK: Isn’t it funny, I can remember the day after I got married I was asked when will the children be coming along - TOYAH: Yeah, her voice was incredible. The creativity meant more to me back then and there was no sense back then of eating clean, eating healthy. You were going to live for ever. Everyone felt they were going to live forever. If you told someone that you needed to eat clean to have longevity you’d go “nah, that’s just rubbish” so we were just eating what ever we could get our hands on and it wasn’t much in those days. Vegetarianism was a hard thing to follow in those days. We have a right to clarify what we need to excel and be our best and I personally believe that we are all here with nothing but potential in our bodies. Part of that potential is identifying, honing down, clarifying who and what you are. I’m so profoundly uncomfortable having to be feminine that it effects me - PHIL: I know that you worked with some amazing people in “Jubilee”, the theatre show (below) obviously based on the movie that you were in - RICHARD: OK, so they’re all sort of great songs that people love to sing along to - TOYAH: Yeah, I’ve kept to the 80’s – it never occurred to me to put new material in. My album that was out in April went into the charts … It never occurred to me to feature any of that (laughs) You know, this is an 80’s festival so I’m kind of happy doing that - TOYAH: And that point when it’s so hot I’m so thankful for them being there, for being awake ! (laughs) TOYAH: It’s my birthday - TOYAH: I find that quite a romantic thing to do. For me the future is a bed of roses. TOYAH: Yeah, for Grace Jones. I have no memory of that at all that I was actually the singer that he tested it out on- So “Heal Ourselves” was about community, sisterhood, brotherhood, sticking together, not allowing the media to make enemies of ourselves. And ironically “Bad Man” is about the fact we are so quick to label someone with the label of “bad man” rather than see why they behave in such a way or their circumstance or how they feel they have to act when they’re in public and it actually says “I see though you, I see through you like glass. I see your heart” TAMMY: That’s amazing, isn’t it? TOYAH: Well, it’s busy, it’s very busy and I would do anything to find a PA at this moment in time (they both laugh) because I do four shows a week and I get home and I live in your area and I’m in the office til six in the morning doing contracts for the band. It’s very busy, I run a very successful business, which in being Toyah Willcox. TOYAH: I knew all my life I’d never have children but no one listens. It was very very difficult. And I also I found that people who had children didn’t trust me. If I went to dinner parties or parties people didn’t want to talk to me and that was very peculiar but I’m well through that now. But … back then it was expected of you. I had a dietician, he weighed me weekly. I was weighed before I did Top Of The Pops. I was complicit, it was absolutely fine. It was the every day and what you’ve got to remember is I had songs to write, I had scripts to learn, I had venues to get to. We were permanently in front of the cameras. On one day I could do a photo session, five interviews and a two and half hour show. It was just full on. RICHARD: Absolutely superb. So that’s the sort of example you’re giving for out here today. It may be a shorter set but you know, they’re well into it, you’re well into it, it’s the perfect mix on a summer Saturday … TOYAH: Yeah, I think 80’s music is coming to its own, its free of the politics of the 80’s now and it’s almost free of the fashion to a certain extent. ALEX: I don’t think you can see you as the rest of the world sees you. A) you are a sex symbol – my father for instance (Toyah cracks up laughing) thinks you’re delicious. I mean as you sit here you look stunning and beautiful. I don’t know why you constantly in interviews always say that you were fat and ugly as a child and not pretty and all of that. You know you are now, right? I mean what have you got to prove today? So if I was to criticise I would say go beyond the telephone and listen to Elton John, listen to Rolling Stones because the depth of what they’re saying is so truthful - RICHARD: But why, Toyah? Part of it is that it’s so special. You feel the energy. There is a definite change in atmosphere when you’ve got that amount people in front of you. I find it overwhelming. I did a guest appearance in Glastonbury three years ago and I felt as if my feet needed to be nailed to the ground. I just felt as if though I was levitating off the ground. TOYAH: “Dance In The Hurricane” to be brutally honest is about overcoming the grief of losing your parents. I lost my parents ten years ago and my life has never been the same and I’m still really only finding my feet but I believe grief makes us strong and “Dance In The Hurricane” is a song of victory over grief - PHIL: Yeah, it’s you work isn’t it? PHIL: Do you know what it is? Can you identify what that surge is? TOYAH: Yes. Anything to do with demonic possession I can’t really watch. It’s too suggestive for me. But that happened in those days! It did happen. In a way I’m really glad I met Russ Meyer because that age – that kind of “Boogie Nights” age of movie making is no more. And I was almost a part of it. TOYAH: The thing is I try to make today relevant. I think it’s really important to be present and accept who and what you are in the present. So I think the reason the past is a blur I’m always focusing on what I do today and seizing opportunities to do with the future so the past doesn’t really get a look in that much - PHIL: The goblins yeah and that obviously got remade recently too. Did you see the remake? I can remember getting to Manchester on a Sunday and finding nowhere to eat. You could just about get a bag of chips and that was it. So those kind of things back then you didn’t consider. All you considered was the speed and the competitiveness of getting an album finished, getting the best tour on the road and then starting all over again. ALEX: I’ve seen you loads of times and I know it’s a great show. So it’s forty years so that’s 1979. I remember you first with the EP “Four From Toyah” with “It’s A Mystery”, which I guess was early ‘81. And we talked about earlier – you were doing “Minder” and quite a lot of acting so what were you doing in '79 and 80’ just before you broke through on Top Of The Pops? TOYAH: It’s a parody? TOYAH: It was a really good time. That was a good time for everyone. Everything was possible. I think life was easier for us young 'uns back then and I think that documentary just caught me brilliantly. TOYAH: And I will sing as long as I can still hit those top notes and I can walk on stage. So I intend to keep on going as long as I’m still in love with what I do. And I am still in love with what I do TAMMY: Good. TOYAH: Huge challenge! But one that I loved. I’m very grateful to have met these wonderful people who work very hard. They earn a lot less than I used to earn when I was their age and I really appreciated how they struggled and still had huge hearts and huge ambitions but they were still living in a world that was less just than the world I was in at that age. And I feel very passionately for them and their talent and that they get what they deserve in life and they deserve everything. TOYAH: Yes, I kind of ran back on stage looking incredulous and everyone thought I was delivering the speech in a different way! They thought “ oh , she’s going at this differently tonight” and the look on my face was I’ve almost been shut out of the theatre! PHIL: Well, there we go - JASON: Which is just round the corner, if I’d been home Friday night I would’ve come and see you, I would’ve seen you twice at the weekend! TOYAH: I did “Taming Of The Shrew” (above) at Theatre Royal in 1988, could be in '89 (Edit : it was August 1990). I was about to go on stage for the very last speech, it’s a very big speech for “Kate” and the stage door opened - which is right at the back of the stage - and a fan grabbed me and pulled me onto the street for an autograph! (They both laugh) I was in shock! I didn’t know what to do, everyone was waiting on stage for me in the big banquet scene and I was going “oh gosh, help help!” RICHARD GREEN: Let’s have a chat now with a wonderful lady who’s got some brand new music coming out. She’s been doing the business for many years, probably more years than she cares to remember! Toyah is with me - hi Toyah! TOYAH: I think those people that can use it creatively are very very lucky. Kate Bush I think does most of her creative writing through the night. I can’t be that creative, I can be very functional. I can do all the mundane in the office but to sit down and write a song at 2 in the morning, that’s not going to happen with me. ALEX: What about a Prime Minister? You’d make a marvellous job … TOYAH: This is what I love about doing these acoustic shows – I get to see real places and we play what I call real venues. They’re very small, they’re very personal. Last week I did a tiny judge house in Otley up in Yorkshire and you’d think these are going to be tame and people just sit down and enjoy it … we had a stage invasion! (Mark laughs) These are very funny events because of the intimacy. JASON: You’re on social media as well, I was talking to Donovan about the dangers of it but you love it! People engage with you as well, Toyah, on social - TOYAH: Well, the one musician you’re mentioning is actually an incredible songwriter. I think if you are the best songwriter in the world you have the right to criticise. I’m still learning, I learn every day - as a songwriter, as a human being. TOYAH: Yes! (laughs) TOYAH: Yeah … When you say problems I think basically at the moment I’m being ghosted by them because I won’t go away. Yes … It’s just one of those things. It’s a phenomenally successful back catalogue so I want to nurture it and mother it. TOYAH: We really love where we are. We feel that – it’s obviously our home, we’ve been there for 17 years, but we feel that out of everything we do – and we both tour the world constantly, we want to go back to where we live. TOYAH: I don’t fly off the handle as quickly as I used to and I’m really good at negotiating. I even have other agents and other artists phone me up and say “could you negotiate this?” And I go “ c'mon! Grow a pair!” (Alex laughs) TOYAH: Hey! Good to see you too! PHIL: And they’ve got Derek Jarman’s outlook as well. Recorded at the Let’s Rock Wales 2019 festival in Tredegar Park, Newport. I was born with a spine defect so I know what’s it’s like to keep running up that hill and get back on your feet. We wrote “Sensational” because we felt it was important (to write about) that everyone is utterly remarkable – no matter what body shape, what height you are, where you come from … we are sensational - RICHARD: Lovely to talk to you, Toyah! “Heal Ourselves” came about because at the time it was written we were really conscious about artist’s responsibility towards being positive in the the world when the world is completely bloody crazy and we wanted to write something that really completely connected the artist to the audience so that became “Heal Ourselves" And then there’s two songs which are wonderful which are “Heal Ourselves” and also “Sensational” - which is literally sensational. I don’t think you’ve ever sounded better! Congratulations on this. It’s so beautifully produced. RICHARD: It certainly is. Shall we hear one of the songs from it? The opening single is “Sensational” - which is a good title for a song, isn’t it? Really - (laughs) PHIL: Do you see him much now? TOYAH: We talk more than we see each other because Dean now works for Boy George full time so I get to hear a lot about what both of them are up to. I know Boy George wants to do an album with me – I’m not sure when we can fit it in - I took five alarm clocks into the school very early and set them to go off under the stage (Tammy laughs) at two minute intervals. She was working to time, she hit that stage at 3 pm, exactly at the time as the alarm clocks were set to go off and she didn’t bat an eyelid and everyone knew it was me TAMMY: Oh my word … TOYAH: The irony of that – in '81 and I’m talking about 9 years later, my office - and I was the biggest female singer in Europe at this time, my office was across the road from her home - TAMMY: You seem – in spite of your fame and success, it certainly hasn’t gone to your head – very grounded, and live in Worcestershire and I’m kind of just wondering if you get that double take in where you live or have the locals just accepted you as one of their own? I did see a thing on TV, an antiques programme, that was looking in your house and I was like “I’d die for a house like that!” TOYAH: It taps in - TOYAH: I always get the name wrong. It is genuinely shocking. Matt Dillon is mind-blowing, everyone is mind-blowing in it and what I love about it it’s one of the first films I’ve seen other than “It” - which was enjoyably shocking – this, “The House That Jack Built” is breathtakingly disturbing. So my shows are fun, they’re high energy and there’s a little bit of storytelling but with the electric band our aim is to get the audience on their feet having a really lovely time, enjoying good rock music that they can dance to and usually they’re singing along as well. TOYAH: Really good, thank you. Really good. TOYAH: I like to think it’s something outside of me rather than a brain condition (laughs) ALEX: Oh no! But did you make it just in the nick of time? Chris came to see me to ask me to give advice to the cast. Gender fluid, some were gender neutral, some were transitioning and he said could I give them advice about what it was like to be a punk rocker back then, which was very much gender orientated. I said yeah I’d happily do it and I said “can I be in it?” And he said “I wanted you to ask that!” (Phil laughs) So I just jumped on that. And what a glorious cast! TOYAH: I love it. Some people have described it as pure joy and is a joyous album and there’s absolutely no point in me trying to be serious and adult. I do energy and I think this album has it and yes, I really love it. I’ve been living with some of these songs as long as ten years. TAMMY: Wow! I love that. And loads of films including “Quadrophenia”, loads of stage plays and books and the music. If you look back down the road leading you to where you are now – would you change anything, would you have done anything differently, Toyah? And the next time was Bowie approached my husband Robert Fripp and I at an event at the hotel Intercontinental on Park Lane, about 1986 and Bowie came up and asked Robert to join Tin Machine. And I stood there and I just “… ah …” (looks lovesick) and just backed out of the room. I just couldn’t take it! The guy was just … his ego – not his ego, his aura was so immense it just went into yours! It was breathtaking. TOYAH: I remember forty was considered middle age when I was a child and I feel fantastic. I’m actually enjoying life now more than ever before. I tell young people I see you’ve really got this to look forward to. Don’t let anybody put it down, this is great! TAMMY: Your glass is half full and I like that, it’s infectious already. The new album “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”. I love that. Described as revelatory and accomplished. Now the accomplished bit seems about right about someone who’s been making music for so many years but the revelatory bit – do tell? TOYAH: Well, it’s an interesting one really. Its a very happy “up” album, it contains a lot of joy within the music. And the lyrics – I’m a lyricist – so are spikey and I like to invert meanings. Songs like “Heal Ourselves”, which is about communities helping themselves to feel stronger and to bond more, I kind of take on the role of protector. You don’t expect a woman to do that, even in these days you don’t expect a woman to offer protection in a masculine way. TOYAH: Boy George wants to write and produce it which would be interesting from my point of view as a writer but I never say never and I think let’s see what happens. PHIL: I seem to remember you came on (stage) as part of your tour to the music of “Suspiria”? RICHARD: I mean that must be an awesome feeling? But there’s always something to prove. Time moves on. Nothing is fixed. And I think only your Hendrix and your Bowie and your John Lennons have that “nothing to prove” music that is their legacy. I’m not quite there yet. I’m trying my damnedest but I’m not quite there yet. PHIL: Have their minds blown how – well, different in some ways but not in others – still the same artist - With the acoustic show I tell stories but it is music led. It’s me, two guitarists and we all sing. But people get up and they want to sing and they want to dance. It’s fantastic! And tell me, where’s the other place I’m playing in your area? JASON: No. Very true, very true. You must get that energy as well from your crowds – not talking about the sweaty crowd on Friday night but I mean you must get so much positivity from that - She was a very generous actress to work with. She allowed me close-ups, she would allow me to sit in her dressing room while her make-up was being done and we’d talk about how we wanted the scene to go. She was a phenomenal person and I feel very lucky that my career started at a time that allowed me to work with Hollywood greats. RICHARD: Oh, your birthday? TOYAH: And our anniversary and his birthday. We don’t have parties. My husband is what’s known famously as a recluse. So we have a home in the South of France. JASON: And also, Toyah, that positivity, Donovan our rapper and our guru came in today, he spoke so much sense, I love what he said : “don’t be negative, give yourself shot at the title”. I’m so going to use that every day - TOYAH: Well, we’re here I think for a purpose. No matter what you do we’re a part of a greater picture and I think negativity can just stop you. It stops you moving forward and believe me - I have my own battles with myself and that’s very evident in my music but best things come in life when you’re positive and you see that the glass is half full rather than half empty. JASON: Absolutely. Great advice. What are you going to play for us next? What’s the significance of this next record? I totally agree! I don’t feel I’ve arrived yet, I’m not known as a film star. I have lovely cameo roles in films and I work in films. I also help co-produce and finance for films which I love. I’m very passionate about all of that. TOYAH: Thank you so much! TOYAH: He used to go on til six in the morning! (Alex laughs) That’s more energy than I’ve got! TOYAH: Well, I feel the same about books. I like to have a book in my hands so yes, you’re right. It’s a product and you own it RICHARD: Yeah. So tell us then what’s going to happen with this album. You said there the audience have got it up to number one in the pre-order chart, which is absolutely fantastic. What sort of welled up in your inner spirit when you realised you were going to be number one, you’re going to get good traction on this album? There’s songs on there I’m just so proud of like “Dance In The Hurricane”, “Heal Ourselves”, “Legacy”, “21st Century Super Sister”. I am really really proud of those songs so I think I’m only arriving now. And it’s kinda good because I’m not sure how long I can keep doing it for! MARK: So 10th of May St John’s Church in Farncombe and The Haunt in Brighton, which is much later in year, 2nd of November. TOYAH: It’s a very very lucky place to be, to be in show business and to be in it for 42 years. My husband, who’s Robert Fripp, (below, with Toyah) says if you live long enough everyone falls in love with you again. There’s definitely been yo-yo moments when it’s been a huge struggle and you just keep going! ALEX: You’re a singer, you’re an actress, you’re a personality, you’re a star at heart. What do you want to be? TOYAH: Yeah. I’m touring all year. I started touring the album in March. I go right up to Wembley Arena in December. There’s a lot of really lovely things going on. ALEX: Are we going to sit down in another ten years at 71 and you’re going to say the same thing? I mean at what point are you going to give yourself a break and look down on your CV? Just Wikipedia yourself? I mean there’s a lot going on there, you must be at least proud even if you don’t think you’ve arrived? TOYAH: Oh yeah, the goblins. TOYAH: Can I tell you my Winchester story really quickly? TOYAH: That was extraordinary. When she walked on in that really almost – I think the word is sardonic pace it was - she was just so relaxed! I mean I would run on! But she had everyone follow behind her. It was beautiful, the sound was incredible PHIL: I’ve got the hairs on the back of my neck up just remembering it. I was lucky enough to see it twice – PHIL: How does it feel when you perform those old songs? I mean they’re all utterly brilliant and these young people are going to discover that eventually. When I look out over the crowds that we play to at festivals the majority of the age is under 25 and they’ve just discovered us - They’re a lovely experience, you feel alive from head to toe and I always thought “Oh, I’ll put that down later” Never! Never! You act on it in that moment, it’s there for a reason. And I would’ve studied harder at school. I wasted 14 years of my life TAMMY: Wow. OK. It’s fascinating talking to do because I get an air of philosophy about you. I don’t necessarily mean religion but there is something about you that just, you know, is deep and it’s considered. I had to stop saying “C'mon guys, let’s go for lunch.” They were they, them, us, it. Words that I would’ve considered rude 40 years ago to address someone by. So I was continually having to learn to respect what they wanted and I was very happy to do that and at the same time I was going against 60 years of programming PHIL: So that was a challenge for you as well - TOYAH ON BBC RADIO 2 WITH JASON MOHAMMAD 30.6.2019. Above: Toyah with Jason Mohammad at the BBC Radio 2 studios in Salford 30.6.2019. ALEX: Or is it just your mind putting onto them what your thinking about them? Are they doing anything? TOYAH: It’s your experience talking. I mean we’ve all got this mammoth library of experience in us and we’ve grown up with absolutely brilliant songwriters. The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin … PHIL: It’s kind of whizzed on so quickly - Because you do feel moments where everyone in the room is one and it’s like a phenomenal meditation. You can just feel their energy tuning in and I am so grateful for that! It’s very very powerful - PHIL: Yeah. I know you’re a big horror fan as well - I have felt no need to take part in #MeToo because to be quite honest I just used my fists and there’s a few men out there who would happily use #MeToo on me (Alex laughs). I mean I just smashed them in the face. I had no qualms about that at all. And there are other singers who are renown for doing that too. TOYAH: Well, there’s a big difference between two hours and 20 minutes so today is a bit of a holiday (laughs) TOYAH: It’s very crimson. It’s “In The Court Of The Crimson Queen”. We started writing it ten years ago and we slowly drip-fed it to the fas as we toured constantly. So what happened – the only way I can explain is because if people know nothing about me … I was 60 on May the 18th last year and the fans downloaded me to number one in the charts and it was really quite extraordinary because I’m an unsigned artist. TOYAH: That’s storytelling writing, isn’t it? And the 80’s was very similar that we told stories about the listener to draw the listener in and when you listen to, say, “Yellow Brick Road” about going back to the farm, going back to your roots … ALEX: It was great! Of all the people you’ve worked with – give me a couple that were a thrill for you? If I could go back into the heavens when I was being conceived and I could choose the body – believe me I would’ve chosen a supermodel body because I think they have an easier life. I got this body and I just decided that I had to be very tomboyish – which I am – but I knew that was my way of surviving. I found that so powerful because I didn’t … I only got a change to hear the lyrics sitting in a cinema watching the film and I was like oh my goodness ! Because we do in a sense return to our roots so many times - TOYAH: I think punk rock. Simple as that. I knew – because I’m not physically exceptional – I’m barely five foot tall and I wanted to be in an industry where you had people like Cher, ABBA, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, you know these beautiful tall elegant women. Feminine graceful women … Well, I am none of that! I was very independent image wise from the age of 14. TOYAH: Well, they’re romantic. People sing along to those because there is a romantic connotation in them but there’s definitely rebellion in “I Want To Be Free” and another one that always takes me surprise and I have a similar effect with the song “Sensational” - is the song “Good Morning Universe” - PHIL: The Yin and Yang - TOYAH: Well, absolutely. I think part of that is we have the length of life we have for a reason. I just do not feel this is it, I never have. I live in an incredibly haunted house - As for the casting couch – one very remarkable one was - actually I feel quite proud of - because this director was legendary and it was Russ Meyer of "Valley Of The Vixens” and I was actually sent to an audition for one of his films in the late '70’s. No idea what I was in for! I arrived at the audition and I was asked to take my top off and I just put two and two together and I said “this ain’t for me” and I walked. TOYAH: How long ago was it? ALEX: Well, I can’t think many things cooler than hanging out with Katherine Hepburn being told one on one Spencer Tracy stories. And then Diana Dors! I’ve got to briefly ask - what did you work with Diana Dors on? TOYAH: Yeah. I’m so sorry. It’s the hardest grief. But you learn to live with void. That’s the only way I can describe it. You’re never quite the same again but something quite amazing happens with your life at that point and you move forward with strength - I think there’s even photographs out there where I’m being groped. At the time there was no #MeToo, there was no voice for how you felt. What #MeToo has done is given vulnerable women a voice and to point out when these situations have happened. TOYAH: Oh, they went absolutely bonkers ! We’re just getting so many standing ovations, it was really gorgeous. TAMMY: Aww! That’s really lovely. 61 one is in old money - that’s fifty now – it’s different … When I used to remember my mum being in her forties and now I’m there … it’s kind of different. I think I’m walking my own path because I do not believe and have never believed that you retire from who and what you love and who and what you are. RICHARD: So what’s been happening recently for you? You’ve had the new album out. I think your husband (Robert Fripp, below with Toyah) had a birthday recently as well – had a bit of a party, did you? Was that ever the case with management too and the record companies and the producers around you – did you experience that? Because that’s what we’re hearing about too that even when you’d left the club you’d still have to face it? TOYAH: Oh, really? Thank you. We went there and we had beautiful food. We didn’t have good weather, it rained every day. We’re next to the Mediterranean and it was gorgeous … RICHARD: It’s good that that happens but what about “It’s A Mystery” and things like that? And “Brave New World” … I was thinking - PHIL: It’s something that I’ve experienced more so recently that I’ve not been able to sleep. Is it the creative brain because you just want to keep producing? PHIL: Something for the fans. JASON: Absolutely ! That’s exactly it, as a parent, as a dad … listening to the lyrics there, you talking about holding the soul in your hands as well. The challenging world, we’ve been talking about this all morning, go out there and be loud, be heard and be proud - TOYAH: Yeah. Definitely. MARK: It’s odd isn’t it, it’s really weird -

She works as a babysitter under the table. I imagine that her ’employer’ is another stoner because she doesn’t seem to mind that Skanky’s half zombified on weed all the time. Sometimes Skanky feels like a change and pops amphetimines. Keep in mind that this approach will likely destroy your relationship with your neighbor, so save it as a last resort. Involving the authorities is a good way to shock your neighbors into changing, but it should not be used as a way to moderate minor disputes. Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean that you should form an angry mob and gather on your neighbors’ front porch. You don’t want to promote an “us vs. them” mentality. You all live in the same neighborhood and should therefore contribute to creating an inclusive space that can enjoyed by all members. I’ve read some of the posts and all I can say is wow. I feel for you. Here’s my situation. One rental in our upper scaled neighborhood. Culdesac, all homeowners are either police retired, prison correction, or gov’t employees. Now I know I’m not better than anyone just bettering myself. But We moved here 8 years ago. We worked our way up to be able to afford where we live. The owner of the rental property which is/was a very nice home had really good renters who took care of the place like it was there own. He is a marine officer and when they were transfered to Japan we were all very upset. We didn’t treat them like “renters” just good people who took pride in themselves. They were our neighbors! Now here comes the new neighbors. Not here for more than aweek and the guys son steals a car and runs it into the neighbors yard. thats just the beginning. Not to many parties, but lots of traffic. the son would be out on a school night/ week night, work week late at night playing basketball with his buddy’s using f-bombs and echoing in the culdesac. I finally had enough and went outside and told them to stop. Gave them some social skill advise. Etiquettes of being neighbors. (these folks are addicts) Their son is in a gang. well this crap has been going on for 3 years now! 4 nights ago our culdesac was invaded by 6 gang suad cars, 1 undercover cop, and they made 3 arrests. Well hallaluah you think! NOT! The Home owner whom I’ve been keeping abreast of everything going on and so has a coupple of other neighbors says he cant evict and would you please be my eyes and ears and document everything going on. Well needless to say my husband had a fit! He said you’re not going to be out their taking pics etc, so they can retaliate against us, the landlord is a pussy! Hes too chicken to do it himself. So all of us neighbors are ready to file a lawsuit against both the landlord and renter. Can we win? And get these pukes outa here? If the problem isn’t something you can fix, offering a hand gives the impression that you are dedicated to finding a solution. This helps your neighbor see that whatever is bothering you is indeed a problem and not a minor inconvenience. Thankfully, a few donations to the local police officers benevolence fund and a few calls to the landlord have worked their wonders to amaze and, the SLUTS are moving out SOOn. If asking nicely didn’t work, it might be time to consider more serious measures. To start, document the problem you are facing. Doing so will provide you with evidence if you need to involve the authorities. Take photos or video of anything relevant. Save any emails or notes that are exchanged. Gather proof that your neighbors are affecting your reasonable enjoyment of your living space or violating municipal bylaws. On the other side they are DRUNKS that heavily smoke and BBQ frequently. Both of us have had lung poisoning from the excess lighter fluid & charcoal smoke coming from their side, despite using fans to redirect it away & close doors/windows. They egged one of our cars a week after last time asking them to stop getting smoke into OUR home. HOA has been worthless A**holes. Then a couple bought the home next to me. I was stressed, frightened and all alone. I thought surely, this guy is a homeowner and more to lose than the loser I just got rid of. The homeowner guy, told me he did not want to marry the girl he bought the home with and she moved out. I was not ready to deal with men, but thought, I need to move on and not be afraid to try. Hahahah.. Boy was the joke ever on me. I can tell you this. You sometimes have no choice but to play mean.I can only tell you things ive heard about but dont condone since they are illegal. Like putting tuna juice into an air conditioner (stinks up the whole house for weeks).Rotten meat under the culvert of the driveway (stinks up the yard for weeks).gather every stray cat you can and leave them in unlocked cars ! LOL (once saw 5 cats overnight in a white trash ghetto mobile) HYSTERICAL!!Ive seen people leave about 30 packages of the old school jacks in the yard.(like a ninja spike)but thats serious business.But my personal favorite was a guy i knew saw where the local punks were hiding their Meth and instead of stealing it he spiked it with chopped up Alkaseltzer!! Those guys had people after them for months because when they snorted it it started to shoot foam out their eyes ,nose ,and mouth. LOLOLO. OMG LOLOL. But thats dangerous because those guys would probably shoot you. But funny as hell.saw it first hand! What a mean cruel world we live in. I am a very attractive woman, I have been told – I get lots of invites for dates, so the point to saying this is, a woman can be fat, skinny, pretty or ugly, and none of us are exempt from this type of abuse, I am fairly well educated, have a degree – not stupid, fun and charming too. I am not a bitch by any means, and yet there are angry people out there who will do anything in their power to tear you up like a rag doll and break you down. Beware! Telling the cops, will get you no where… I live below neighbors who are just unbelievable. I had discussions with them many times. Tried to be nice. Worked for a short time. Got bitchy. Worked for a short time. Went to the board. Worked for a short time. The problem? Their son and the parents are miserable human beings. Their child rules the home. They had the gall to give him a Wii game and he bounces up and down most every night. They have family over with lots of kids. They act like it’s a one family home, but they live in a 2 BR upstairs condo apt. It’s now 10:21 PM and this 10 year old spawn of Satan is still going strong. Boom boom boom – I have screamed at them, pleaded with them, complained to the board. Not to mention that there is domestic violence in the home on top of all that. They had a party last year and invited all their friends and family to sit near my patio to tan. They are trailer trash. I took pics and presented it to the board. The board is useless. I have no quality of life. I am trying to move because the yelling, screaming, cursing and violence is frightening sometimes. I’m tempted to call the police, but this man abuses his wife and I am female. I just hate coming home at night. In this economy, I don’t know if my condo will sell and I’m afraid that they will hear the noise and render my condo unsellable. I also have very bad neighbors. Ido not live in Colorado yet but I plan on it soon. For now I live in the southern part of the us. I’m disabled and not married. My x has friends who live next door to me 1 acre away and he had an affair with the woman over there several years ago. They harass me at all hours of the night and they are plain stupid.There is a man who locked his 7-8 year old out side for 2 hours while he entertained his girlfriend number 2.He has several who are over there different weeks. They show up and spend the night and then they are gone. You would think with that I wouldn’t have any problems.I have a place where they want to grow drugs and I’m stopping that from happening. So they think they can scare me off. I have 12 video tape of all 4 of them as well as audio. They are on drugs and ride lawn mowers up the street at midnight! Is there a law also about elder abuse? I know who I’m going to sell this place to, I hope they will like their new neighbors! I’m sure these people will have no problem with shooting first asking later. Get a restraining order. first of all, (I ain’t pluging the company but) go to q-see and get the $400 dvr with four cameras, audio and hook it up, configure it to your computer, you can view it on a laptop away from home. most of all it works wonders in court, especially to the police when they come after the fact. 1. If woken up repeatedly at night and police/building management are not responsive, purchase air horns for you and a few willing neighbors. Take turns setting them off the morning after a party starting around 6AM. Sometimes rude party neighbors will get the hint, if not, at least you’ve ruined their slumber like they ruined yours. My hometown has become “hoe town”. I left it when I was in my late 20’s and moved to a big city. I lived there and worked and made my way. About 15 years after leaving, moved back to the house I grew up in, where my sister was living with her son. When I was a kid, we had no fences, almost all the neighbors got along. If there was a problem, my mother had no problem going down the block and talking matters out. And yeah, we had a few fights, and feuds, but in the end everyone really minded their own business. And if they didn’t someone would make sure that the offenders were dealt with. That’s how it was. Every house had families in them that worked for a living, they had kids, we played with the kids. It wasn’t pure bliss all the time, but things got worked out. When I moved back a lot had changed…TOO MUCH. Three houses away there are drug dealers. That house is owned by a village trustee. Next to that house is a cop, he lives there and doesn’t do a thing. In fact, he’s an “overachiever” who married a woman whom he thinks everyone covets. So he’s over-protective of this situation that no one actually wants. So, if someone male (over the age of 15) walks past his house, and looks at his wife, tanning on the porch that he “built for her”, he gets jealous and puts them on an ass-kicking list. So you can’t be friendly and say hello. My bike got stolen and before I knew this guy was a cop, I walked around and talked to people to see if anyone had seen anything, and met up with this guy (who immediately gives me a look like he’s checking for all my pressure points so he can subdue me – mind you this is a village of 4,000 people), he says “yeah, they been casing the neighborhood for weeks”, so I say “how do you know this?” “I’m a cop.” “And you didn’t feel it would help to tell people that someone is casing their places?” After that the conversation went real sour. So I’m sitting out in my yard one night, with an apple, just about to eat it. And a truck comes down our alley, stops and backs up to our garage, where the door was open, at the time. I sneak toward the driveway, and the door of the truck opens. I open fire on the truck with the apple and a few tomatoes from the garden. I have a very good throwing arm and nailed the driver’s side window and got a tomato in the cab. The truck took off at about 50 mph! Anyway, across the street, six of the houses are now occupied by drug families or families that absolutely don’t work. Not one of them works from any of those families. This summer there was a car-bombing across the street. A car that was parked between two houses had a molotov cocktail type thing thrown at it and the car burned to cinders in the driveway. One of the guys living on that side of the street revs his motorcycle at 2-3 am, but you can’t talk to the guy…the only words they know are fighting words, which I’m okay with, but if you beat one of them, they bring it to court or they bring the whole block against you. So, I moved about 4 years ago (and have heard of much of what has happened through the grapevine). But my sister stayed. When she had enough, she moved in with her ex (with whom she’d probably rather not be living, but has little choice in her mind). So now my niece lives there. The thing is, legally, you really can’t do much…because the village and state has passed laws that perpetuate these things (and it’s not like the legislators don’t know what will happen when they do this. So if you’re having this kind of trouble, it’s usually the law-makers who are enabling it.). So, while I was still living there, I was working with a friend who is a contractor. We did work for a local cop whom I’d been friends with in school. Hadn’t seen him in a long time. My friend starts telling the cop about trouble he’s having with his “new” (about 1.5 years) neighbors selling drugs and running a whore house at all hours of the night, while my buddy is raising his kids and renovating his house. And my buddy is no wuss…this is a guy who can lift most people up by their necks with one hand. I’ve seen a guy wanted to fight him in a bar where he beat him in pool, and the other guy throws a punch and my buddy catches the guy’s fist and squeezes the other guy to the ground. He’s not a tough-guy. Just a regular neighborhood guy who is very strong. A guy that will help you out with anything. If you have something that needs to be done, he’s over at your house helping. If someone gives you crap, he’s ready to help with that too. Anyway, the cop says “There’s nothing we can really do, and if they know you complained they’ll probably come after you or the kids.” And I already knew that, but this was for reinforcement I guess. So my buddy says “you’ve got to be shitting me…my kids are already being approached, they throw shit in my yard…beer cans, bottles, dog shit..when I throw it back they make threats” And the cop finally says, “you want my advice? And don’t tell anyone I said this…burn that place down, preferably with them inside of it. Why do you think I moved out of town?” Now, I had told my buddy this a month before that. And when we drove away, I said “You want to? We can think of a plan.” He says “No, I don’t think it’s a good idea.” But my advice for everyone. In most cases, you would think you can talk to your neighbors. If you try it and it doesn’t work, don’t let them know that you’ll retaliate if that’s what you plan on. In fact, rest easy while you think of your plan. Take your time. Like a month or longer to think of something and make sure it will work. This is especially if moving is not an option. Because we can’t let every place become a hell hole. All we want is to live a normal life, and give that to our kids. We have no trouble with the guy who lives across the hall from us, he’s a good neighbour. However, the skank who lives downstairs with her moronic-looking sons is an entirely different matter. The slumlord who owns this pit (inherited it when his 84-year-old mother passed) found the skank and her ex-boyfriend. The slumlord lives in a duplex in the borough next to ours and does everything that his tenant tells him to do, which is how we got these walking, talking turds downstairs — ex-boyfriend was the tenant’s nephew. I live in a middle class neighborhood and we have a diverse group of different people 80 homes.( probaly 25 homes are asian owners) with the exception of two of the homes their yard are not maintained well. The one Asian neighbors has gotton MANY letters fron HOA on hanging clothes outside, yard and he lives in a three bedroom home with 14 people OMG. THIS GROUP IS BRINGING DOWN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. When he loses at the casino downtown or on the video lottery machines in the nearby bars, he screeches into his driveway (doesn’t matter what time of the day or night it is) hops out of his car, slams the door, pounds the car a few times with his fist and wails like a banshee. I mean, the guy really loses it. Tears course down his weather-beaten cheeks. His wife left him a few years ago…I wonder why? Now it’s just the broken down old alkie and his yappy dog. It is important to know whether or not what your neighbors are doing is in violation of any laws. If it is, then you are almost certainly in the right, and involving the authorities will favor your position. You can use the Internet to become familiar with your local laws by searching for a list of legal bylaws in your area. You can also call your local city hall and request help in finding applicable legislation. Right now i’m living in an apartment and we have psycho neighbors living upstairs. They trow beer cans at our children, dump shards of glass, lead, urine & feces, and spit there chewed up bubble gum down on our patio, they harass and terorize our children day and night. They have called the police on us and accused us of throwing acid on there cat. They have failed to prove there case to the police, manager, and the courts. Today they are being given a 72 hour notice to vacate the apartment. Some advice 4 those who live in an apartment and have bad neighbors: If it gets to the point that u have 2 resort to calling the police because the manager is not willing to do anything about it u may want to notify the manager that u called the police. This could either help u or backfire in your face so beware because everytime the police are called they will ask 4 the name of the apartments. This means there reputation is being tarnished. The manager may be more motivated to solving the problem if he knows u are calling the police. But b4 u call the police make sure the manager has caught them doing thing that violate the rental agreement and make sure they have already been given a 30 day notice. And make sure u have a good relationship with the manager and the staff. Make sure u are willing and able to take on a big fight because u also have 2 consider the other neighbors may be there friends and may complain 4 u also. This is what we did the neighbors were given a 30 day notice, then we called the police, then they were given a 13 or 14 day notice, and now they have a 72 hour notice. If they refuse 2 leave in 72 hours then they will be taken 2 court and the judge will make a decision. If the judge decided to uphold the eviction he will give the landlord and the police permision to force there way into the apartment and physically remove them and arrest them 4 trespassing. I believe thats how the eviction process works with the court I’m not 100% sure. Depending on the circumstances, offering a hand might make your neighbors more willing to try and fix the problem. For example, if you are tired of their ill-kept yard you might offer some help with lawn-care. Maybe you have some tools they can borrow to make the job easier. My neighbors don’t listen.They go on my property when I tell them to get off and they curse.Some of my neighbors were aquaintances but they started hanging around my new neighbors and they don’t want to have anything to do with me. This is a copy of a post on Rottenneighbor.com. As you can tell there are issues with this site if the neighbor, knows about the site, and knows there are posts about them, they can block the posting:……. I have posted about 15 different posts, all describing a neighbor, who sued me over 12 inches of land she said was hers. She did not get a survey, she sued me in County Court instead. Guess what, the fence she installed 13 years ago, was not 12 inches off the property line, but was instead 2.4 inches off the fence line(per a survey done 10 months after she sued us, which she did not want to pay her half of this bill). A cedar post 4×4 put into a hole with Concrete, requires about 2.4 inches of space to make sure the concrete does not cross the property line. Yes, this neighbor lost the case. And the court told her in about 5 different ways how she should have handled this in a more “neighborly way”. She continues to harass me, and the neighbor in back of her, as well as the neighbor on the other side of her. We live in a society in india new delhi .we hade a good friendship with one of our nieghbor.but we dont know what happened.one day we saw 2 eggs and some flowers threon in our garden.it continued for 2-3 days.it use to happen at night.we told our neighbor our friend about this.we aslo informed our common watch man of society but sooner we realised that it was our neighbor only who did it.he was strong politicaly.he had some contacts with some bad peaple he had a frnd who is very bad person.1st we avoided him but he dint understood.then somtimes he use 2 cut our phn line wire or somthing but one day we caught him getting near our car and cutting the wire .it was 10:00pm we went 2 his house and asked whats the problem we showed his wife and son the vedio including him .he then called his frnd.we shwed him the vedio 2.we knew that his frnd ids also involved in tha past happenings .but the man said he had not done it .he sweared of his childrens also.but it was all untrue he really sucks. Hello all, I need an advise. My neighbor is becoming a “pain in the rear” I think it all started when my dad ran for her position in the home-owners association. She got to keep her spot but since then we’ve been getting bombarded with “community notifications” Ex if one of the condo owners takes out the trash early (one day earlier) – we all get a notice in the mail, threatening sanctions. We have a two car driveway and a garage, her next move was to call the cops when our third car parks (blocks, as written in the ticket) on the driveway. I need to know how to proceeed and if I have any options. (the ordinance that the ticket was issued under states that from 19:00-22:00 no sidewalk should be blocked) Side walk was not blocked, and there was plenty of space for two ppl walking next to eachother to pass through. My car’s front tires were on the sidewalk… help? My neighbors are undeserving human garbage that rent the house directly to mine. They are the classic trash renters from hell. As such, they fit the profile of having very low personal standards and are a sad waste of skin. If there were some way to have them arrested and evicted I would but unfortunately, renters have way too many rights and that includes their right to trash a community. Since then the second set of neighbours have started such a racket with cars, vans, trucks in the mornings or at night. Where does it all stop? These neighbours aren’t the kind to listen to reason or I would have tried that already. What would you do? I have two sets of neighbours whom I got along with initially but soon after the second set moved into our village the hate and intolerance became quite evident. If you’re fairly certain that your neighbors are breaking the law, and have evidence to this effect, then it might be time to involve the authorities. Contact the city, the local police, or your home owner’s association to address the issues at hand. Thankfully, the skank booted the ex-boyfriend out when he was no longer providing an income to help support her darling little sons as well as herself. She has been on welfare for years and once told me (when we did actually speak) that “I’m NEVER going off welfare!” I have a neighbor who is an a**! The house originally was his parents. He has his own house out of town. I woke up one morning to find him peeing in the rose bush next to his back door! How hard is it to go to a bathroom?! He drinks beer 24/7. Cusses and snorts phlegm right outside my bedroom window. Always on his cell, right outside my window. Has scary lookin’ criminals at the house all day. Uses the gap in the fence to dump gas and oil into my yard. Trash from his driveway….butts, beer cans, junk food wrappers wash into my yard through the fence. I was so happy when he started packin’ it up! Until I saw a “for rent” sign in the yard. I had no idea what was coming………..the new renters make the landlord look like a dream neighbor. They had a pit bull grandfathered in. They have a Bull Mastiff. I have never seen people just toss dogs in the back yard and just forget about them. I called animal control about the pit bull. My dogs would no longer come inside after doing their business. The new dogs just stand at our fence and bark the second anyone comes out the back door!! These people don’t ever tell the dogs to stop barking. They don’t train them or even give them attention as far as I can tell. The neighbor behind them called the cops the first week they were there because the psycho pit bull tore her fence down. She said pepper spray didn’t even stop the monster! I was outside messing with trying to put up our fence and those 2 dogs tried to attack me through the chain link fence. Lucky for me the animal control officer was there to see that. Of course when I heard the neighbor lying to animal control, I had to chime in. She tried to say that her dogs are angels and that this behavior was unusual. I said BS they do this all day everyday!! Animal control tried to explain to the bimbo that she cannot allow her untrained dogs to prevent us from using our yard!! After that the animal office said she was having the pit bull declared vicious by the city. The neighbor skipped that trial, and was allowed to keep her dog. How dumb is that?! A vicious animal is to be kept in a pen with a concrete bottom and a top on it with a locked gate. Or on a leash at all times. It wasn’t allowed to run loose in their back yard. But did they care about the law? Of course not! So, I am out with my small dogs and I see that damn pit bull trying to stick it’s head between the fencepost and garage. I knew it wouldn’t be long until it was in my yard. So I ran to gather up my pets. We went inside to call animal control. Thank the lord they impounded that beast!! Now I have to be a witness at a trial to have the monster put to sleep. Only a judge can order the pit bull be put to sleep!! What a waste of the tax payer dollars!! Meanwhile the city is feeding and housing the thing!! Why does the city declare something is vicious and then let it loose again? Now the giant Bull Mastiff is left. This poor dog is so sad and abused. It is left thrown in the yard. No one ever gives it attention. He’s lonely. So, he howls and barks and whines all the time. Every time someone goes outside or one of their millions of “friends” comes over, at all hours….that dog goes crazy trying to get someone to pay him some attention. He is so huge that the barking howling and whining is amplified! Can these people not hear him? They never comfort him or even yell at him to shut up. What’s the point of having a guard dog if you never look to see why it’s barking. I am sick of listening to them abuse their pets!! That psycho slut came to beat my door down and cuss me out because she can follow a simple leash law? Then she has been tossing broken glass over our fence to try and hurt my dogs!! Animal control warned me that I should not leave my pets unattended because she might “do something”. That slut was so irate when they came to impound her vicious dog that the law was called. I wasn’t home but I was told the slut came to my door and was beating on it and screaming cuss words in front of the cops!! I wouldn’t even care about the stupid pit bull if it’s owner wasn’t so rude and inconsiderate. They act like they live in the country and no one else is around. I have heard other neighbors yell outside and tell their little yippers to hush. But these dopes beat all I’ve ever seen!! Now the a-hole landlord is trying to cause a stink because he says the fence is on his property. Well he fenced in his property years ago and my fence isn’t even touching his, so I’m supposed to leave a 2 foot gap in between the fences? I hate to tell him that I am not digging up all that concrete. There would be no fence if he didn’t put such shitty renters in there. So, I can sue him for ruining my quiet enjoyment if he wants to get ugly. Moral of the story….if everyone was doing what they were supposed to, there would be no problems. There’s another neighbor across the street who’s usually pretty quiet except when he works on his car stereo. When he does it’s bad enough I can feel the floor shake. I’m almost ready to get the police involved with him. Due to this, I have posted on this site, as I believe this is exactly what this site is about. This lady even told one of the neighbors, that his leaves were falling off his tree, into her yard, when the wind blows, and she expected him to do something about it ASAP. Here’s some advice for those of you who are simply out of options. Firstly, seriously plan to move. I know how you feel but if that is an option, in the end, you win because they are out of your life. I had really bad neighbors. I tried everything in the correct order. I was stressed to the point that my health suffered as I stayed awake every night with my gun in my hand protecting my family. In the end, I moved away. It took me over a year to get completely over the trauma. Now I am myself again so I can tell you that what you are going through is not worth the pride of staying, trust me. If you can spend the money, put up security cameras so you have evidence to show the police. There some very affordable single camera systems. If you cannot afford security cameras, then take your home video cam and set it up to trap these neighbors in their usual illegal activities. It only takes one time on video to get the cops on your side. If the high road is not working, there are some other options. Hire an investigator to do a full background check. You might be surprised the leverage you can get if you know a lot of personal information(employment, collections, criminal history, relatives, etc.). If moving is not an option and there is just no hope then you must get tough with the situation. Pick the lesser of two evils and throw biker parties a couple times a month or find some other way to get friends that might make your neighbors think twice before harrassing you. Throw fundraisers for the police. Cops will be much more sympathetic to your situation if they know you personally and your neighbors will think twice if they see the police as being your friend. Forget doing bodily harm or causing property damage. That will only make you the bad guy an escalate the situation out of control. Keeping yourself in control is the key. Next door neighbors throw used condoms in our backyard. Light illegal fireworks all year, steal from one another then scream about it, use illegal drugs, siphon gas from cars on street, hang clothes from city power line to property, discard prescription drugs on the street, use black/dirty gutter water to water plants and our planter along the edge of property, allow visitors to sleep in cars or on trampoline in backyard, throw cigarette butts in our planters, scream about shooting police officers in a murder suicide or killing white people or president then claim they are rapping. House is in major disrepair and vermin infested. Several of them are on parole. This has become a city wide destination for vagrants, drunks, and people looking to score drugs. We also suspect prostitution has been taking place. Costa Mesa police dept. says they are aware of drug sales but they don’t sell enough for them to enforce. They also shot our house and cars with a paintball gun. Ran a car repair business from home, Hit our mail box while drunk and parking car. Rent out garage as rental unit. Costa Mesa police and Costa Mesa Code Enforcement seem uninterested in solving these problems. One of the CMCE supervisors told me “we can’t all live in a garden state”. That might be true but if they did their jobs it sure would make for a nicer community. Any suggestions? They thunder around downstairs in street shoes, on hardwood floors all the time, causing our walls to shake. Chasing a mutt that Skanky acquired around Christmas time. Poor creature never gets to see the light of day, either. It has to be relieving itself somewhere. It’s a sooner. It would sooner poop indoors than it would outside.:) Nicole Harding. 4. Recruit Other Neighbors. First there was the dog tied to the garage for 7 years – never removed from chain- always barked. Started barking at 1 – 2 – 3 am – waking me up – tried to go back to sleep to get up at 4:30 for work. Selectmen finally took care of the situation – dog is gone. New dog two houses down – pit mix – oh joy! Wrote letter to selectmen – at least it is not chained and barking all day. Now – cop next door gives grandson an old riding lawnmower to ride all Sun. afternoon. He probably thinks I won’t write a letter about him – but most of you are really green (or becoming really green) and realize a riding lawnmower is one of the worst for pollution – this guy is as dumb as a stump – so he doesn’t know – I am sure of it! Talk about Massholes! We have the worst neighbours and on top of it, they are my hunbands mother and father.Can you believe that? It is very sad,they are such bad peopl. They can not just leave us alone.My husband told them to leave us alone. We put up a fence after 15 years which was this year. Now they put shit uder the fence and build a shed right next to the fence. How will we take care of grass and fence, with the shed there. They also say bad remarks when thye are outside about us. He even called me a b-t– while friends were over. What kind of man is this? How do we get them to stay away from us and leave us alone. All of my posts made on here are being deleted. Or maybe flagged for removal by the rotten neighbor herself. Why, because she does not want anyone to know how rotten she is? If this is not the whole point of this site, to let other potential neighbors know the havoc she may cause to them, then what is it I am missing? 2. Avoid Notes. nothing done about this either. All totaled our damages to our property are honestly close to $15,000. They have hidden razer wire on our property that my mom stumbled over and has permenet scares because of it. On my birthday this year I was walking my dog at 5 am on my property her and her husband came onto out property and engaged me and my husband in a fight were i was injured. Police were called and told us that if she touched me she would go to jail. When they came back from her house they told us that she said nothing happend there was no fight. The police then proceeded to tell my hysband,mother and I that they have seen women that she has fought and that if she hit me I would look alot worse than I did and futher more they belived that my husband hit me even tho he was the one who called them. Do they think that my mother is going to watch my husband hit me and then lie for him ?? 5. Document the Problem. We were cursed with bad, retarded neighbors from out of state three months after we bought our home. Their children are rude and like to harass mine. They like to tease my children because we do not have 4 new cars, even though I happen to know that everything they have is on credit. Their mortgage is twice what we pay to our parents. Our parents bought us our house flat out, so we don’t owe a bank anything. I’m hoping this “perfect” neighbor will finally buy her way into so much debt that she’ll be unable to afford her mortgage and will have to move out. She also called me “white trash,” and yet she has been married 4 times and hasn’t managed to teach any of her children proper decency, manners, or respect and they acutally shake their heads around like they think they’re from some hard ghetto, when in fact they are red necks. Hilarious! If you don’t kill ’em, they’ll probably be back. That was the wild west and that’s why they had to stop the wild west, because it was too peaceful, since everyone knew that people weren’t afraid of anything. Now people are made to be afraid of nuisances. Because if your neighbor is shitty, the police will be more likely to support their side. I once typed her oldest son’s name into a search engine and a porn site came up. He has a different surname than has half brother does as they don’t have the same father, surprise! I scrolled down the intro page a bit and there she was! There was our neighbour, Skanky dressed up in a maid’s uniform with tons of makeup on her hard face. The best advice is to just move somewhere else. I’ve been through talks with the neighbors, cops, court, revenge and when it’s all said and done you have to live beside them forever or move. Then guns started going off and quite near my home from my other neighbours property right across the highway from my home. Hence, I phoned the police and had them talk to my neighbour.He gave the cop a slippery story about people coming onto his property and shooting as they wished. It was him. I saw him come in from work that morning at 6:30AM. His car is all dinged up due to his pounding on it when he has his crying fits. He screams as he cries in some European language that I do not understand. Well now I don’t feel like I’m the only one being harassed by neighbors.I live alone and I’m disabled. My neighbors are friends of my x husband of 30 yrs and he was violent and abusive. Because I got the place and he didn’t he’s using them as his long distance control and he had an affair with a person next door and these people are on meth and pot,they want my place because it has a pond. I get chicken litter thrown onto my porch all the time,ruin the paint and they throw rocks at the light’s and camera. I feel really bad for all of you with rotten neighbors and the people who shot into your home should be in prison.Did you try to call the t.v. stations? Call anyone one who can get the word out about what they are doing to you,the police SEEM to be useless. Oh, and the cops already ordered our families not to speak to one another, yet who do you think does not comply with this order? That’s right, the people two doors down who think they walk on water. Let me ask you, how can my family be much lower than theirs when we both bought in the same neighborhood? If it wasn’t for the housing slump, I doubt either one of our families would have been able to afford to buy in the neighborhood. I have these new neighbors that seem to be nice but are a bunch of wierdo’s. The father does landscaping and the mom stays at home they have four children ages 4 to 11. They called the county animal people about my dog and said that it was too skinny. Well it is a retired greyhound. I got ticketed and when the county agent called me that night he said that he had made a mistake because his supervisor has two dogs like mine and my dog looked fine to him. The agent said to throw the ticket away. Always remnember, when the city or county makes a mistake, NEVER throw it away. This makes the third time such a thing like this has happened becaus of unqualified people. Well, the next thing that happened, they backed into my chain link fence and tore it up. Called the local law enforcement and they said that if I did not see them do it or had video of it, I was up a creek with no paddle. Now she parks her van on their driveway beside the side porch and their guest have no way to get into the rear of the house to park. Now they drive around her van into my front yard and are making ruts. I solved that problem by putting three 5′ lengths of 4″ steel pipe along their drive way. Half the pipe is in the ground and half above. Note: that the driveway is partially on my property. I have installed a hunting scout cam on the flag pole in my back yard to take pics of these idiots. The landlord is a really good guy, in his 60’s and retired he has told them twice about driving in my yard. People really need to mind their own business and respect other peoples property. If your complaints draw their sympathy, they are more likely to listen. Instead of saying “your music is too loud,” try something like “your music is keeping me up past my bedtime.” Approach your neighbors with a problem and be willing to work toward a solution. By doing so, you’ll be more likely to find success than if you simply charge in and demand specific behavior. My neigbors, it turns out, are whores; listed on Backpage, which explains why they have “men” coming and going two and three times per night all night, every night. I watched this man deliberately make friends with all the neighbors and turn them all against me. My health and sanity began to decline considering everything else which had fallen on me just before this event. I was so scared and alone. They kept me awake all night long, yelling, laughing, and partying. They would make sneering noises at me, like children do to each other. I ended up getting 2 pit bulls and one tiny noisy dog and a 12 gauge shot gun. He said he would make my life a living hell as long as I stayed in the neighborhood for leaving him. I was there 14 years before he moved in. I think we need to take action like they did back in the old wild west and don’t tell a soul..hahahahah! Justice! Sweet justice – where are you! We have the worst neighbors ever! For real… they are horrific. The home is in foreclosure, and the owner rented it to a family of 8 (maybe more)… The residents consist of a grandmother (with no teeth, age 60), mother (age 35), and 6 kids (we think) ages 2-12. The have a trampoline in the front yard, and every afternoon 6-20 kids are jumping on it, yelling, etc. The grandma sits in the garage with the door open and says “m f” every other word. I think the f word is her favorite adjective and noun. The mother leaves every night around 10 or 11 and returns home sometimes the following morning around 6. The kids are nasty too. They yell and sweat at the neighborhood kids, and the mother and grandmother defend them! what can we do. I’m already bitter I paid for my condo mere months before the market (and the price tag on my new place) dropped. A lovely set of loud, ignorant neighbors is just salt in the wound. My upstairs neighbors are renters and have no regard for anyone around them. This mother/daughter giantess duo stomp around from 7 AM until 11 PM. Occasionally, the mother’s boyfriend (also a giant and who is too lazy to park in the clearly marked VISITORS stalls and opts to use another owner’s private space instead) shows up and we have yet drum to add to this percussion from hell. Now throw in the little yappy dog who’s waste is left for the rest of us to step on, the overfed caught who runs up and down the hallways and some tacky door decor – voila! You have now met my neighbors. If a bad neighbor shows no sign of changing their behavior, getting some support from the neighborhood is the next logical step. If your neighbors’ behavior is bothering you, then the odds are good that it’s also bothering some of the other local residents. Talk with your neighbors to test the water: see if they are equally bothered and, if they are, whether they would be willing to sign a letter or statement concerning the behavior of the troublesome neighbors. Remember, there’s strength in numbers. Being approached by a group of upset individuals will be much more difficult for the bad neighbors to ignore. I have the worst neighbors also. They would always through their beer cans, beer bottles, and bottle caps. I used to just give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the wind blew it over into our yard. Then one day my children ran outside to get wet (this was during the summer). They ran outside with no shoes on and almost cut their feet on a broken beer glass that was on our side walk that leads right up to our house. I saw the broken glass and was so furious that I threw it back in their driveway so that maybe they could run over it and get a flat or maybe step on it and cut themselves. So after they kept throwing bottles I finally started throwing the bottles in their front yard so people could see that they are the trashy people. One day my neighbor was outside working on his yard and cleaning it up. I thought to myself, this is a perfect opportunity to talk to him and ask that they stop throwing their beer bottles and beer cans in our yard. He seemed fine with it and seemed to have blamed it on his sons which are around 21 and 24. I told him that I was trying to be a b–ch, but just like he was cleaning up his yard we like our yard to stay clean also. He said “Yeah, I understand. I’ll make sure they don’t do that anymore.” Which was bullshit because he’s a drunk and he’s the one that throws the beer bottles over here. Well I’m thinking everything is ok. Later that day his wife sees me outside and comes over asking if I told her husband to stop littering in our yard. I told her “Yeah, I sure did. We don’t throw shit in your yard and we ask that you guys have the same respect to not throw shit in ours!” She told me that if I weren’t pregnant she would hit me. (I was wearing a babydoll scrub top that ties right under my breast. I guess it looked like a maternity shirt. I thought it was cute.) Anyways, I told her “B–CH, I’M NOT PREGNANT HIT ME CUZ YOU’RE ON MY PROPERTY B–CH AND I WILL TAKE YOUR FAT A– DOWN.” Now this lady is probably 20 years older than I am and as mad as I was I figured I would put her in a nursing home when I was done with her. Then she started to back up into her yard and she told me, “Come on I’m on my yard just step over here.” I told her “B—CH I WILL DRAG YOUR FAT ASS OVER HERE IN FRONT OF ALL YOUR FAMILY.” At that time my kids came outside to see what was going on. I couldn’t show them that side of me. That fat a– then said “Snobby B–ch” That comment bothered me more than her thinking that I was pregnant. Just because my husband and I keep to ourselves and don’t want to associate with ghetto people like them doesn’t make me snobby. I have never thought I was better than any one. I was so pissed and was worried that they would try to do stuff to our house while we were gone. And that summer my kids stayed home since my oldest was 12 he could watch his brother and sister and I think she tried to call CPS on me and they told her that it would be unlawful if my oldest was under 12. I found this out from a friend that worked at CPS and took the call. How stupid. Anyways, we then have tried talking with thema and it seemed like everything was OK. Well, then the neighbor began parking his work truck on our grass. I was pissed and turned on the water sprinkler to water our grass, then he moved his truck and I was outside playing with my son and he told me, “I hope you don’t think I moved my truck because you turned on your water.” And I told him “Naw, I didn’t think that you did.” Then he said “Well I didn’t.” And I said “I didn’t think that you did.” But I could tell he was pissed. I knew these people were trouble from the time we had our land surveyed. When they surveyed the land a flag was place maybe less than a foot over into his “front” yard. There is a concrete line between our front yards, but our fence would hit directly where that flag was and after we moved in they put up a carport right up to the concrete line. They also park two vehicles under that carport and use our yard to step out of their cars. My husband and I live paycheck to paycheck and have been trying to fix up our house from the inside but I wish I had the money to get our land re-surveyed and have them move their carport and I want to put up a fence between our front yards so I don’t have to see them. 1. Be Polite. 7. Involve the Authorities. Expecting your neighbor to read your mind and know what bothers you is unreasonable. Be clear about your concerns and be ready and willing to compromise. While never hearing their parties again might be of no objection to you, it’s often unreasonable to ask for them to completely change their lifestyle. 3. If you have young college students partying regularly, try to find out what school they attend. Many colleges (at least in the Boston area) have faced increased pressure to house students on campus. For this reason, when neighbors are troubled, they are eager to solve the problem by punishing the students for bad off campus behavior. There are also some colleges that are willing to send their own campus police to reasonably located off campus apartments to break up parties. This is often done faster than calling the town’s police number as again, the university wants to squelch trouble before they get more bad press. The morning after the party is over, see tip number 1. My neighbor calls the cops twenty four seven on all of the people in the nieghborhood.I think he has nothing better to do with his time.Even a neighbor behind him called the fire dept and us also.He cannot be around fire arms so he makes us suffer when we have fires in our wood burners.And even calls the police for my son accidently had his football fall in his yard.I wonder if he would call the cops on a mom and a two year old that accidently walked in his yard.Well one day I looked out his window and looked liek no shirts on in his garagewith his boat.I swear lots of them must have been naked lol but only you can see tops off with the big bright garage light on you couldnt miss it even if yoiu were walking arund the dark street by his house.I think he calls tge cops to keep them from lookng at him doing illegal stuff.We all were here first he moved in and started lots of trouble none of my other neighbors start stuff with each other I wish there was a way to take him to court for harrassement and using the law when they have better emergencies to go to.Please tell me how to get rid of him trust me its pretty quiet down my road.My boyfriend couldnt even play drums in broad day light yes broad day light not even close to being night time 430 pm.He isnt that old but he acts like it.He is the ones with teens in his yard and lots of them parking all over the lawn he had tons of loud parties summer before this where the teens were gonna fight each other etc and raced down the street and he even had well I seen a bail bondsman at his house.Now who do you think is doing criminal activities not us I t hink it keeps the heat off him.Do you think hes seling pot to minors? There are still three stray cats roaming around the old shed in the junkyard. Skanky had a virtual cat farm in there. We live in a decrepit triplex in a deteriorating working-class neighbourhood. The bottom unit is a five or six room rabbit’s warren of a dump, and the upper floor was shoddily turned into two tiny claustrophobic rat holes. If they aren’t aware that some people are civilized and slEEp at night, I, sure as hell am nOt going to be the one to introduce them to that reality or to the reality that their lifestyle is completely unacceptable. 81 Comments. How to Get R > I bought my house 4 years ago, had i knew at the time that their was 4 rental house on the st. i would never bought this house. Since i have moved in we have ganged trashes neighors. They want clean their yards, kids running around all hours of the night. Now whe have a new neighbor that just moved in with 3 kids they have got trash all over the place. I am sick to see what i have to look at everyday. Also i heared that they are pill heads. Just what we need. You would think that the people that rent these house would due checks on these people. I use to work for Southwood Realty, I leased apt. I know what the landlord is to look for and how to handle his resident. But the asshole around here don’t give a shit. I own my house, and i can’t sell it with the way the neighorhood looks now. What in the hell can i do the get rid of the shit i have to look at everyday. What a genius! Now she has an attorney to fight this pit bull thing. I guess her husband’s drug running business is doing well since she seems to never work yet has an endless stream of cash to pay for animal fines and court fees for being a dumba**!! The tip: never give up!! No one has the right to ruin the quiet enjoyment of your property to which you are entitled! And lastly, I have one more neighbor that I recently filed a formal complaint for loud music. The music has been absent since, but him and his ‘fiends’ have pocket bikes that they rev up and run around the park. Again, I’m just one bad day from filing a formal complaint with them again. my nabers are terible the kid threatens people and they stick up there midle finger wen they see someone people hate them so much some guy drove up to them wen they wer in ther yard and said go back to the trailer park. 3. Offer a Hand. Some posters here have complained about neighbourhood brats running amok all over their neighbourhoods screaming and being disruptive. I have the opposite problem. Skanky refuses to let her little monsters outside, she won’t even let them play in the large fenced yard (more like a junkyard) in the back of the dump. The only time they get any fresh air is during recess while they’re at school. We too bought our house at the top of the market before the crash. There is only one rental in the neighborhood and it shares a fence with our backyard. In February they moved in. Everyday their children wake them up at 7 in the morning and they go about picking up their debris from the previous days party and throwing it into the their pit, pour gasoline on it and start it on fire. Making the neighborhood smell like poison. When the garbage runs out they chainsaw limbs off the trees and throw them into the fire. They yell everything all day. Nobody has a job. They drink all day. Let their dogs use any other yard as a toilet or burn the droppings. There are at least 10 adults 6 kids and 4/5 barking pitbulls and breeding more. Their kids and dogs must hate the sound of their own names from hearing it screamed with swearwords all day. Everything is an fing gdam problem for them. I heard them over a block away from the park swearing like it was going out of style. My limit is 6 months I guess. First we talked to them directly, it did in fact make things worse. Next we talked to their landlord, he was a piece of work. I then called the fire department who told them next fire will carry a $10,000 fine. -no more fires. Now the constant noise. There is a house for sale across the street, I called the real estate agent who knew the landlord, called him “difficult” but said she would talk to him. So far so good he’s going to do an inspection of the rental soon and I hope the result makes him evict. Real estate agents can be very resourceful. How to Get Rid of Childish People. This is just a breif account of many years of this. I live in the country on 11 acers very far of the road and corn feilds between us and both our bad neighbors who happen to be friends. My windsheld and a window have been broken out of 2 car. Cops called but even tho it has been docomented that there is issues between us it could not be proved who did it and notthing was done. Mailbox smashed at same time as windsheild with dead fish in it, again nothing I could do. There dogs have killed seriously killed about 100 chickens after about 5 calls to police and animal control they finely fined them and told them to contain there dogs. However no compensation has been given to us for our loss. There dogs still run, so we just gave up the chickens. There horses have damaged our property several seperate times ( fences and septic ) unwantedly impregnated our female horse, and damaged our rabbit hutches. Police were called this time as well with the end result being they simply had to come get there horse but again nothing for the damage. They have went as far as stoping friends and family that were coming out of our driveway to gossip and cause problems.We have seen them hiding in our bushes in the summer time in hopes of hearing our conversations.My home has 20 bullet holes from a .22 gun were somebody shot it, police were called and they said that it was criminal indangerment but that it could not be proved who did it. My mother lives on the same property but in a diffrent home, her house was also shot but with a 12 gage shotgun. The bullet went thru her lining room and into her kitchen. Relevant laws might include the following: trespassing, destruction of property, reasonable enjoyment of property, noise violations, barking laws, and laws concerning property maintenance. How to Get Rid of Your Family Doctor. I’m worried about a friend who has been complaining about her neighbor for a couple of months now. Everytime I speak with her, she always tells something different about the neighbor. I want to help her and let her know what she can do to have her be at peace and feel secure at her own home. There is no verbal abuse or any physical violence between them. Only confrontation. My friend did tell the female neighbor of how she felt and if she had any conflicts against her that she should know about and that can be solved by communicating their differenced. Neighbor denies her obviouse actions. Where can and to whom can she talk to for help. please respond. She has a 15 year old daughter and the situation is getting a little complicated. Not only that it is a female neigbor but now theirs a male. its getting a little scary because he stands outside and just watches her place. And runs in when my friend comes out of her house. Thank you. Claudia. Anyway, it’s a constant battle where I’m at. The only course with people like these (or from everyones stories) is court action, or at least a serious threat of it. So don’t let the disturbed, chemically imbalanced, testostorone filled, inconsiderate, imature @$$ holes rule the day. Call the cops and file complaints. Visit the local police station and talk to someone higher up. Call the media even…they love this stuff. Set the boundries early. Don’t be bothered if you make them mad…they’ve already made you/us mad. I live in an apartment complex and the person that lives next to me has some recliner chairs set up against his wall which when he or the people he invites over gets up or sits down, their chair bangs against my wall. I have shadow boxes and other things on my wall to decorate it, everytime their chair hits against the wall things fall off. I’ve already had a few things broken and I’ve gone over and nicely and explained what’s happening and asked him nicely if he could move his chairs so they wouldnt hit the wall anymore. He said ok, few days pass and it started all over again. Second time I went over there, I went over there with evidence to show what had just fallen off my wall and broke apart. I went over there and I was verbally attacked by one of his frends so we said a few words and I told him I’d set up a video camera to prove to them that I’m not just some crazy psycho person. And from there on end they have just been doing things JUST to tick me off. The banging on the walls have gotten alot harder, the people that used to just visit are NOW living with the guy thats mainly supposed to be JUST him living there and no one else. They have a dog living with them which we are NOT supposed to have ANY pets. I’ve talked to the landlord and he said he’d talk with them. He went and talked to everyone else that lives in our “circle area” of the apartments before talking to me and he said everyone else said the guy that’s making all the trouble is a “Nice guy” and that they have no problems with him. Okay… well now I’M looking like the bad guy which i am not. I’m the kind of person who RARELY complains about anything. When him and his friends were playing his new drum set all day long until 10:00 at night I never said anything. He invites his friends over and they park in my drive way like it’s not a big deal, they walk around in my yard like they just own everything. I’m sick of it and I dont want to move because I’ve been living here for three years and in those three years before them I have NEVER had issues with my neighbors EVER! I’ve gotten along with EVERYONE before these people moved in. What the heck should I do? my boyfriend’s neighbors complain about everything! they complained about our friend spitting in the middle of the PUBLIC ROAD, shoot our dog with their water hose and then call the cops because the dog is barking at them, complain about us remodeling the house because the workers are strangers to them and they said they feel uncomfortable and then a week later they remodel their own house and brought strangers over. The lady that lives there peeks through the crack of the bricks and starts harassing the dog and starts barking at her. Her husband doesn’t do anything. They also call the cops on the kids playing basketball at three in the afternoon. (They said they are making too much noise) And get this…. Our other neighbor across the street recently lost a loved one so they asked us to be quiet, so when the neighbors across the street were having a small get together after the funeral, they called the cops on them and said that they were not allowed to have a party after 6 pm. They are crazy.They lady also yells at my boyfriends mom and told her that she is going to build bricks on OUR wall. Why they hell would you build on property that isn’t even yours. She’s mental or something! How to Get Rid of Slackers. I’m looking forward to the day we can sell, and move out to the country, where there’s a little room, and a few normal folks. call the cops, like i do. try to set boundaries. i have had issues with a mental person who forces herself on me. she calls me a bitch for minding my own business then says, i like you i want to be your friend. i have enough issues to deal with i don’t need a crazy person making my life hell when i have a cancer scare to deal with, high blood pressure and anxiety. i have told mary i do not have to talk to her or anything. it all started october of 2007 when i was mourning the 1 year anniversary of my grandma’s death i was minding my own business taking trash out and she got in my face called me a bitch and i hadnt done anything to her except ignore her like i have been told to do. another neighbor came to me begging for coffee and i was nice enough to give her some then 2 months laer she’s back at my door bothering me for money for ciggarettes and she says she works. why should i pay for her filthy habit when i don’t smoke, i have asthma and i told her no but she wouldnt go away after i said no she kept begging. other tenants have asked me for things and never came back why do these 2 keep getting in my face? now the second woman assumes i’m moving out whenever i get rid of stuff and it’s none of her dang business . i keep to myself and look what i get. pushy,rude, crazy, annoying people. grrrrr. my landlord is an idiot she says they have the right to bother me if they want and i know better. I told the cops what she says and they call her an idiot. lol and they r right. His house is up for sale, has been for over two years but the guy is asking almost half a million bucks for his place. It’s a nice enough house, but it’s worth perhaps $250,000 tops. The street he lives on is the pits, too, because it’s full of ugly lookalike duplexes. UGLY! He lives directly off to the left of my back garden, which is how I hear his outbursts of agony after he’s lost yet again at gambling. I don’t have a problem with people who work in the adult sex industry, but I have a problem with those like Skanky who look down upon everyone else, glaring. The only humans she’s friendly to are employed men. Married or not, it doesn’t matter to her as long as they have a steady income so they can buy her things. WOW. This is a lot of angst with horrible neighbors. We have overcrowded townhome on one side with heavy smokers and drug users/dealers that like to “stoop sit” and hold their cigarettes up to our door so it draws the smoke in, which both of us are allergic to & have asthma. These people moved in and were horribly intrusive, trying to peer into our front windows & door. Had 128 attempted break ins in first 2 years after they arrived. Plenty more to tell but it would take too much time. Tried mediation & that failed within 1 week. I have the worst neighbors ever. They are illegal mexican immigrants that wants one thing… my money. Now it is sleepless nights next to the pistol and the pump-action shot. These idiots got burnt in 1980 when they poured a foundation to their backyard “house” without consulting the planning commission. Thus, my family called the REAL planning commission AND STOPPED their construction dead in their tracks. This is when the bulls**t started. Then it got worse when they hoped over OUR fence line and stole at least $5,000 of my property. This is why I have zero tolerance to any trespassing from here on out. I have a neighbour who is not only an alcoholic but he’s a compulsive gambler. This guy started controlling me and knocking me around, yelling at me, ignoring me when it was important for him not to, it was a painful, confusing and frightening relationship. So, I took measures to leave it too as embarassing as it all was. I will never date anyone anywhere in the vicinity of where I live or work now.. I am severely traumatized. 4. I once lived in an apartment where a neighbor would cook the most disgusting smelling food starting after midnight. The smells would permeate the building for hours. I tried speaking to the neighbor to no avail. The neighbor explained he couldn’t sleep and liked to experiment in the kitchen to help make himself tired. He also admitted to cooking among other things road kill, and if I didn’t like it I could F#ck off! (This was in an urban city setting mind you, not the back woods!) After one final night of unspeakable smells, I purchased a stink bomb, let it off directly in front of his door, removed the evidence, and then called the building manager and police to investigate a possible dead body. Needless to say, the now sleeping neighbor was awakened by quite the scene. He was then arrested by the police for animal cruelty for having squirrel remains in his apartment and had no way to prove it wasn’t “road kill”. When he returned to the apartment, there was already an eviction notice on his door! I think I might have you guys all beat with our neighbors in springfield, IL. similarites in the not working, dogs running loose, drinking all day, and all out general dirt bag behavior. Our exception is we have lived here since ’06 in our home they moved back into the dwelling after at least a 7 month stint in rehab after we bought the place. had we been told the truth about the trailer next to us not being condemned we would have never bought our house. The general description of it is the trailer from hell. before they lost their utilites (running water, electricity, and gas) they generally stayed away from us playing their stero as loud as they could oddly enough the sterotypical “lynard skynard”. this was back in the winter months. as soon as it thawed all hell broke loose. they are constantly a pain in our asses. we cant even go outside with out them bothering or begging. they have a kiddie pool this 40something lady plays in in the summertime with her dogs. the boyfriend is a loser who bothers us night and day. they try to come over and “talk” to you they make you gag and cringe they havent bathed in months. the garbage in unfathomable, they have a fire pit in the back yard they use for heat and cooking like they are camping. now if the uninhabitable dwelling lifestyle isnt enough, my husband and 8 year old son witnessed the lady over in her yard in plain sight not hiding anything in BROAD DAYLIGHT take a crap in the yard! police and public officials will NOT do anything about it, EPA and health dept CANNOT do anything about it there have been over 20 complaints from different people in our neighborhood and NOTHING is being done. we’ve decided to buy surveillance equipment because we fear they are stealing our utilities or might get the balls to break in. They are renters and we have found out who owns the property thru tax records but they are unreachable as to no address and no phone number or contact person. if all else fails im contacting the media this insanity must stop! I needed read no further when I read your suggestion that the neigbors “may not be aware” that their loud music and drunken behavior, until the wee hours daily, was disturbing and that I should give them the benefit of the doubt. With that said, went to court, restraining orders filed, numerous police reports for harassment and I got no justice, just beaten down by society for being a woman, divorced and alone.. Sucks! I gave up, shut down and became the quiet reclusive lady on the block. I keep it all to myself, because he has established himself well. Got a new wife and baby and confidently prances around and attends block parties like he is the most popular thing to hit the neighborhood and the neighbors follow this guy like a bunch of lambs. My personal experience involves a couple that moved in next door. They both were very rude from the very first interactions we had. After moving in, they kept their incessantly barking dog outdoors 24/7 so it wouldn’t mess up their floors. The dog proceeded to wake us up every night and bark throughout the day at everything it saw or heard. We tried everything with these selfish buffoons. We had our HOA send them letters, we called and talked to them, texting, had the HOA president talk to them and finally called the sheriff out a few times..every attempt was not only ignored, but retaliated against us where we received some form of harassment. This went on for 3 years! We finally hired an attorney (expensive btw), however he forced our HOA to have a hearing on the matter which he also attended and they were forced to attend. I am like one of the other posters here where I retreated and stopped attending neighborhood functions because I can’t be in the same room as people that have lied, bullied and harassed us as well as cause people pain and suffering. Long story short…no more barking dog. The attorney was able to get us respect by proving that the matter was to be taken seriously. For those that cannot afford this, I would definately recommend just moving away from problematic people as soon as possible. It’s really not worth wasting a minute of your life or your sanity. Our neighbors are still a**holes and always will be, and we will be moving on, however it was worth the cost to get some peace and quiet for the remainder of time we have to live here. An attorney can also just write and send a letter which would cost less and might work. However, never retailiate! Just try to ignore and be as diplomatic as possible with these types and move away! Leaving a letter that is not postmarked in someone’s mailbox (as suggested in the 8th paragraph), is a federal offense. It’s called mail tampering and can be construed as a form of harrassment. I don’t recommend it. 6. Know the Law. I wish I was only renting. We made the mistake of buying a home in a neighborhood where people not only value what they have a little too much, but they like to be rude about it, and rub it in your face. Instead of just being happy, as you’d think “rich” people would be, most of these folks are just plain miserable. It seems no matter what I do these people keep comming. Any ideas besides my local authoritys.? All you need to do is knock on your neighbors’ door and introduce yourself. Take the time to explain the issue to your neighbor in person. Remember to be courteous and specific. Let them know exactly what they are doing that is driving you crazy, without seeming rude or aggressive. You don’t want to turn the situation around and have them viewing you as the bad neighbor. I feel sorry for everyone with a bad neighbor. Mine howver, are worse, they clearly break covenant rules that benefit them, and when they are called on it, they blame everyone else and do not accept responsibility. They physically and verbally assault other particular neighbors, and act completely sweet and kind to others. I think they are bipolar or insane. These people can not be trusted, as they use everyone they come in contact with for their own personal gain. Creepy creepy nasty people. They are convinced they are the alpha dog hip peole who everyone wants to know. YUCK…don’t look now because we are all laughing at your shallow debt ridden lives. Good luck keeping up or lifestyle in this economy. Phone 911 report him immediately maybe he’s in the country illegally,some people live in some countries underground the authorities should straightened him out.make your case if it does not work still talk to your landlord or call immigration yourself & denounce him at once.do not let others step over you,stand up,& if he ever gets physical with you he’ll be deported should he hit you as criminals are immediately kick out of any problem or put in jail.good luck & assert yourself.don’t just take it & live in fear grow some character but first phone the cops & explain correctly your problem they will help you,& will warn the trouble maker,if he persist well he’ll have the book thrown at him.again good luck. I think not. So as it goes she beat me up and cops did nothing. The straw that broke my back was this summer when 4 goats and a llama of ours turned up dead in the same night and one month later my 8 year ols sons mini horse and more goats came up dead also. They were all posioned and even with history and motive cops said could not prove it and again did nothing.This goes on and on and on not to mention the fact that both there propertys are total eye sores. Trash EVERYWHERE in there yards then into mine in the ditches and roads. They burn ALL there trash instead of paying for trash pick up. On the on property there is a bright blue house a 1950 something trailes 3 sheds and a building made out of plywood and 2×4 ( no concret sidding ) up on stilts that are all lived in. New neighbors from hell moved in 5 yrs. ago. Seemed nice at first until he was not reappointed to the local county police force, meaning he has now been unemployed for the last 2 years. We live out in the country without covenants or HOA, as we do not live in a subdivision. First, we as well as many of the other neighbors burn our paper trash in metal burn barrels. He first confronted my husband with this, demanding we not burn out trash and then me at which time he threatened legal action. So we stopped burning our trash. Mind you he burns anytime he wants. then their dogs and our dogs were sniffing each other thru our back fences. He went balistic and threatened to shot my dogs. I tried to talk to his wife about the situation but that got me nowhere. Then he started shooting his pistols, rifles and shotguns at targets up next to our house for hours each day, making our dogs bark and become nervous. Again I call4ed his wife and try to talk to her. She tells me all he has is an air rifle. I tell her this is not true and that he would not to wear ear protection to shoot a air rifle…she hangs up on me. Next he lures one of my dogs onto his property by whistling and calling her by name…next day i get sited by animal control. We can not enjoy our yard which consists of Lmost 1.5 acres. as he is constantly peeping and watching every move wemake. We don’t even ask friends or relatives to visit because he will stand in his yard, arms crossed watching. We are now constructing a tall privacy fence and I still cannot go out without him shooting loud snide remarks about this fence. I have become very nervous and am afraid to even go outside to even get in my car to go to work. These neighbors are not renters but owner. What can I do ? Suggestions please ! We are senior citizens with no children if this is any help. I was beaten and harassed by my ex boyfriend neighbor. I dated him after my 10 year marriage failed. My husband left me for a younger wealthier woman and at the same time my dad was dying of cancer. I was not in my right mind, and met 2 men both who lived on my block. The second one did not live there yet, but the first one nearly strangled me to death. He rented a room down the street. Long story short got rid of him. Are bad neighbors driving you to the brink of madness? Maybe your neighbors’ dog is barking at all hours of the night. Or maybe a pile of garbage has been sitting in their driveway for weeks. Whatever your neighbors are doing to draw your anger can be a frustrating situation to resolve. Searching for an effective and non-aggressive way to deal with your bad neighbors is best. After all, your neighborhood is a shared living space that each of its members has the right to enjoy. Few of things I’ve tried, but often work best in conjunction of cooperation of other “good” neighbors so you don’t get complaints against you… 2. When one of my neighbors in an apartment got a pit bull who he never kept on leash, and use to literally chase other tenants around the lobby, I reported him to building management, animal control, and the local police via certified letter stating fear which I also got several neighbors to co-sign. Dog was gone within a week, and apartment now has rule requiring all dogs be pre-approved by building management, and follow leash laws, or face eviction. I’ve seen garbage burning come up in the comments. Burning garbage is federally illeagal due to the Clean Air Act. Local fire departments do not always enforce this. Your local clean air agency does. In Western Washington this agency is called O.R.C.A.A. Burning Garbage carries a $15,000 fine. You can file a complaint on line. Here are seven simple tips that can help you resolve your neighbor-related issues! I have another neighbor who moved in last year…a young couple who partied everyother weeekend with loud music, booming cars, and leaving trash in my yard. After many many months of calling the police I finally threatened them with court action through the police and they’ve been quiet for about 6 months. Now they have a friend who comes over a lot who booms his car stereo. I’ll have to involve the police again. That link doesn’t exist anymore, but I investigated further and found lots more photos of Skanky, most nekkid, and many engaging in various activities related to this particular ‘business’. I even downloaded a movie she made that was so cheap anyone can download it free of charge. When she first moved to the dump, she was slim and didn’t look all that bad but I the few past years of munching away due to her weed intake has caused her to put on several pounds of weight. Her gut and butt are now very big and round. Since she hit 30, her metabolism obviously slowed down and now she’s really packing on the pounds. DH says she’ll only be good for a couple more years regarding her ‘films’. If leaving a note is necessary, pay careful attention to its tone. Read the note over to make sure that no part of it can be confused or is likely to upset the recipient. If you aren’t careful, a note can be turned against you if the dispute ever draws the attention of others, like the police or the rest of the neighborhood. MY CRAZY NEIGHBOR! :: RUNS WILD IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. Before attempting anything extreme, start by politely asking your troublesome neighbor to consider the issue. It could very well be that your neighbor is completely unaware of your frustrations. If this is true, your neighbors are not being intentionally rude and would likely work with you if they were given the opportunity. I wish I had a “tip” but all I can do is vent. Thank you, howtogetridofstuff.com for letting me expel my penned up anger. Bless me and my fist which is turning purple from uselessly pounding on the ceiling. I live in Indiana and in my opinion I have the worst neighbors ever. I have called the law several times but clearly my neighbors are also the best lires also. Please someone give me some input. He was doing construction on his home and while the walls were still a bit open he would have loud sex with other women in an attempt to make me feel crazy, but I just kept to myself as composed as possible. It was hard and let me tell you (hard) is an understatement, and has taken it’s toll. Now I do not date anymore…Happily Single and drama free. I moved into a trailer park a little less than 5 years ago and I’m regretting it every day. I’ve lived in other parks with no problems what so ever until this one. Most of it is loud music from neighbor car stereos or music eminating from thier trailers. I have one neighbor that I battled with when I first moved in who’d play his music so loud from his trailer I could hear it across the street in my trailer. After continues calls to the police he got the idea. I tried exchanging pleasantries and casually reminding them that our building is 30 years old and I hear every – and I mean EVERY – step they take. Unfortunately, this woman simply nodded her head, said “no problem!” and then deleted our conversation from her memory. THUD! THUD! THUD! My home is gated completely and we have people in our neighborhood who let have little to no respect for others. I’ll wake up to find 2 German Shepherds in my backyard at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning attacking my mini dachshund (when he is in a completed fenced area). I’ll look out my kitchen window to see children running after my cats and antagonizing them in my own yard. When you try to speak to the children nicely, they ignore you and walk away with your animal. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to be queen bitch. lol. Leaving written notes to address concerns with someone’s behavior is ill advised. Notes are too easy to ignore and their meaning can be misinterpreted. Though it might be hard to summon the courage, facing your neighbors in person is more likely to yield results. My neighbor calls the cops on my family and the guy who lives on the other side of her all the time. She’s a really big racist, and hates Al [the guy on the other side of her house] because he’s black, and I think she hates my family because she thinks we’re Arab, but we’re Sicilian… I don’t know how you can mess that up; maybe its the dark hair, I don’t know… Anyways, since we’ve built our house 24 years ago she has given us nothing but crap. She ALWAYS says my dad is doing something wrong. One time it was that he was cutting down a 100 year old tree on our own property. Not only was the tree not 100 years old, but it was on our property, and the cops said that we didn’t do anything wrong. When I was little and would wait for the bus at the end of my driveway, she would drive by and throw her cigarettes at me. One time my dog slipped her collar off, and was chasing a squirrel in the road [we don’t usually allow our dogs to roam free, mostly because its illegal and dangerous] and our dog got hit by a car and ran in the woods [which happened to be her property] and when we were getting our dog out to bring her to the dog hospital [she had a shaddered pelvis] the lady drove right up to us got out and waddled over to my dad and started yelling at him saying things like “NO HUNTING ON MY PROPERTY!! THIS IS MY PROPERTY” It was obvious we had a dog in the bed of our truck, not a deer or anything else. So my dad got right in her face [he was sooo mad that she tried to prevent us from getting our hurt dog] and he started screaming at her. I’ve never seen him so mad. Then she waddled back to her truck and drove off, I’m assuming to the police station. I don’t know there’s been sooo many more things that shes done over the years. Just these recent years shes been doing things too. Shes been saying that Al has been on her property shoving animal poo in her horses faces… uhh, yeah. Al works all day, and comes home to a complaint that hes been doing something absolutely absurd. She also got really dangerous too becuase she was driving her truck and doing cookies in everyone’s driveways in the middle of the night. She would even take her .22 riffle and shoot it off at our house. [I swear to god if she ever shot my dogs or anyone in my family I would probably be in jail right now for murder] So we called the cops on her [we don’t usually, cause we don’t like to start crap, but that was going too far.] She did it for like 5 days in a row, and one night the cops finally stayed the night in our driveway, and caught her in the act. She went to court and was told that she can either leave the state of New Hampshire, or surrender all of her weapons. What she did was sold the house to her girlfriend so that it wasn’t in her name anymore and isn’t suppose to be living there. She still has her weapons. Then today we get an Environmental Officer or w/e at our house and he said there was a complaint against my father and Al saying we were spraying her property with pesticides this weekend. My dad just laughed and was “All I have for pesticide is this can of Raid that’s like 5 years old” [Also, my father was camping this weekend and wasn’t even here.] So my dad walked up to Nancy’s house and showed the officer all this stuff that Nancy has on her property that shes not suppose to or w/e. She dumps cow menuer in the river, that goes under the road and on our property, shes been stealing the dirt from the road to fix her driveway, and every night for like 2 weeks at about midnight when I get home from my boyfriends house has been doing something outside and using her truck lights to see into the woods. Obviously something that she can’t do during the day. The officer said that this same complaint was filed last year on us, but nobody did anything because everyone knows shes crazy. He said he just wanted to check it out. My dad said the gov’t is welcome to check anything they want. Oh yeah when my dad had the officer up there Nancy was hiding behind a tree, and my dad goes “I can see you…” and she took off running. [One time she was hiding behind a tree [she does that a lot] and my dad picked up a rock, and pretended it was a camera and was “taking pictures of her” and she took off running too] As I’m writing this I’m waiting for the police to show up, because I know she called them on us for taking pictures of all the things on her property that are not suppose to be there [we didn’t cross the property line though] I have a voice recorder to record all conversations, and I have my sneakers on so I can run when she breaks out her .22 that she didn’t get rid of because her girlfriend is still allowed to have weapons. I don’t know if anyone else has neighbors like mine, but if you do just be careful. Some people are just not right in the head. About the author. I have a crazy neighbour with whom I require some assistance. He from the very get-go has been an in-your-face kinda guy, telling you how to plan your yard, digging up my fence post in the middle of the night because he didn’t like the type I used, building a fence right beside our fence, spying into our windows, watching the neighbourhood kids out his windows ALL THE TIME, rumaging around in our yard late at night (we had to lock our gate), going through our home while it was being built (he had access to a builders key cause he built with the same company), calling the city on us for bylaw issues (which turned out false), calling my daughter a crazy bitch and last but not least, his son runs around telling people he wants to die or kill himself and dicusses very sexual fantasies that he has regarding himself and other girls – the son is 10. What do you do with this? my entire neighborhood is like friggin wisteria lane. we moved in about 3 years ago and from day one the guy next door has had it out for us, we wer right in the middle of moving in, cars and people EVERYWHERE and we here BANG,BANG, the front door flies open and in walks the neighbor and says “cable guy, move your f’in truck” turns around and walks back out, WELL WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. (mind you the cable guys truck was about 4 inches into his driveway. ) things have just gone from bad to worse, there are 5 of us and we are constantly feuding right now its the guy at the top of the hill who refused to trim his shrubs so the kids could use the sidewalk to get the bus so I had to call the town, hes ALWAYS using sarcasm with my kids and dropping little comments here and there that he knows just floor me……I really have taken the high road here and ignored pretty much all of their crap but im not sure how much longer this jerk is going to be able to push my buttons before i push back, mess with me thats fine but now hes messing with my kids. I truly do hate this neighborhood and think their should be some sort of crappy neighbor clause when you buy a house, LOL!! Bad neighbors can leave you feeling stuck and frustrated. After all, you can pack up and move away from your neighborhood, but this is an expensive and annoying solution if the only reason you are doing so is to escape someone that is bothering you. A house is a big investment, and a bad neighbor can affect your ability to enjoy it. By using these tips, you can overcome problems with troublesome neighbors. With some luck, you’ll soon be enjoying a little peace and quiet. Trucks, vans, cars, bicycles and anybody else this second set of neighbours could get to engage in the noise they did. All hours of the day or night they would rev up in front of my house. Sooooo I drove the car out one morning around 3:00AM and blew them out of bed. Next morning her ladyship hightailed it back to the big city where they came from.The night noise didn’t happen for quite awhile after that. My husband and I have been living in our home for 4 1/2 years; we actually sold our last because we had a paranoid schizophrenic living next door to us who threatened us verbally and his parents protected him (he is now in his last 30’s). Long story short, we had had enough after living there for only 4 years(of course the police couldn’t really do anything, as it appeared that the law protects mentally disturbed people). Anyway, my husband and I moved in to our new home 4 1/2 years ago and have been dealing with a similar-type loser living in his mother’s garage across the street. He is also in his 30’s and has a long-standing record with the police (including drug posession and breaking and entering/theft). He has been in out of jail for several years, does not drive or have a job and is a general pain-in-the-ass in the neighborhood. He stays up all night (in the garage) swearing and talking to himself, drinking and urinating on the side of the garage in plain-view of all the neighbors. Again, my husband and I (and several of the other neighbors) have called the police and they go over there and do absolutely NOTHING. And of course, the mother enables his deplorable behavior by allowing him on her property. But the one thing that my husband & I have been able to do is get the town building inspector involoved; they have gone to the house twice and told the mother that her son has 30 days to vacate the property (in NY State it is illegal to live in a garage-or-other dwelling that is un-inhabitable); if the son did not leave, the mother (and son) would be arrested and fined severly. The son recently came back (after spending almost a year in jail) and is back in the garage, but we sent another letter to the building inspector-now the mother is really in deep trouble because according to the inspector, this would be her third and FINAL warning. I hope this suggestion helps somebody else who may be dealing with a similar issue. Good luck!! This dreadful family had been given their marching orders from the landlady where they previously lived because she couldn’t deal with their noise. So we got them! My neighbor is a nasty,arrogant woman that has had it in for me ever since I complained about her daycare client using my front yard as a parking space. We moved to this hellhole town about two and a half years ago because my husband got a job in this area. At first the neighbor across the street was friendly and pleasant. Boy,did that change! You see, she runs a daycare business out of her home and every morning and evening people are stopping by to drop off/pick up their kids. I had no problem with anybody parking in front of my house as long as they didn’t block the driveway. However,she had one client that thought my front yard was her personal parking space! Everyday she would drive up over the curb and park her car on my sidewalk,several times actually on the grass in my front yard. One day I had finally had enough and I went across the street to speak to my neighbor, the daycare owner,about her client. Even though she was sitting right in her living room where I could see her,she refused to come to the door and sent her relative/employee out instead that lied to my face and told me she “wasn’t there.” I told her that I would appreciate it if they would tell the client to stop or I would call the cops,however I didn’t want it to get that far. The client did stop,however my neighbor has been hateful,rude and nasty to me ever since. Her sons glare at my husband or me everytime they see us and she chidishly rolls her eyes at me or whispers to whomever she is with if I come out of my house or walk by. It’s so ridiculous! The only person in her house that doesn’t act like a jerk toward us is her husband that usually says hello and seems to be a decent guy. Can you believe all of this started because I didn’t want some woman using my front yard as a parking space? I guess if I had said,”sure,come on and abuse my property all you want” there would have been no problem. People are just bizarre. You may also like. And, if yoU think that it is reasonable that they may be unaware of such ideas, I am not listening to your advice either. How to Get Rid of Scammers. The shed/feral cat sanctuary: To add insult to injury; these idiots are a bunch of tweakers. I just hope they don’t try to run up on this house for money. I will stand my ground; no matter the cost. These neighbors better not forget what side of the fence they live on… LET IT BE KNOWN!! I have no problem with shoving my loaded gun in the face of any trespassers in my backyard! Let it be known! STAY TO F**K OUT! Our neighbors are fucking self-righteous bastards, who think they own the whole fucking neighborhood. They’re always nosing around and watching everyone pass by and everything else that goes on. Yet, if someone happens to stare at their house, they shout “Mind your own business.” Gawd. They even have other busybody friends in other houses in the neighborhood, and they go around trash talking all the people of other races. They have grudges against everyone, when they’re the ones causing all the problems. On the fourth of July, their fireworks go into our yard and everyone elses’, except for their own. And they don’t clean it up. Their fucking pets shit on other people’s yards all the time, but they don’t take responsibility for it. And they say everyone else is an animal-hater. They’re the ones who hate animals- not even taking care of their own and letting their pets shit on other people’s properties. My neighbors are RENTERS and have been harrassing my brother and sister. They claim that my Rottweiler went after thier pitbull which are illegal in my city. They threatened to “throw their dog over my fence and see who came out” I do not condone dog fighting of any kind. I fixed thier chain link by putting up tarps so the dogs couldn’t see each other to try to elliminate conflict. But this asshole wants nothing but conflict. I purchased my home a year ago having no problems with my neighbors until these people moved in 3 months ago. Since then they act like they own the whole block and tried to tell me when I could put my dog out (he’s an outside dog) so I told the guy to get the f off my property. How can I deal with this asshole? How to Get Rid of a Third Wheel. Sign us STUCK in HOA HELL. Avoid offering money or hiring help. Many people resent the idea that they can’t afford to fix their problems. How to Get Rid of Tenants. I live in a townhome complex where you’re separated by a wall next to your neighbor, and, my next door neighbors came from hell! I live next to a bunch of hoosier-trash white folks, and just recently, some new over 40-year old black guy’s moved in, and, he’s so unpleasant! He throws trash everywhere, makes noise all night and day, blasts tacky old-school rap music outside of his car, and slams doors and cabinets, throws things in the bathrooom just to disturb me. The entire city of Bridgeton, Missouri where I live’s an eyesore. The mayor doesn’t care, the cops don’t care, it’s ridiculous. No one in the complex talks to each other, everyone along the street has something stuck up their ass–it’s like science fiotion or something, and, if it’s not the black guy and the hoosiers he’s with causing problems, it’s the Mexicans and their loud Mexican music blasting that no one wants to hear, tons of them stacked into one unit..I don’t even think their kids even go to school legally..the Mexicans care nothing about our laws, our rules, our social norms, so, why are they here? I’ve seen cops handcuff them, and, they act like it’s nothing. The landlord here’s some old, potty-mouthed macabre-looking fool that half-asses repairs (if he even shows up at all)..he can’t get a staff to help him because he treats them like crap. I don’t understand why St. Louis County tolerates this, I really feel sorry for the children in my neighborhood that can’t sleep because of these unpleasant, noisy neighbors!
