Toyah Wilcox
Toyah Wilcox is an experienced musician, songwriter, actress and television presenter who is often credited for her contributions to the punk and rock music scenes.

With a career spanning over four decades, Wilcox gained popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a new wave artist whose music blended elements of punk, pop and rock. Her punk influences can be heard in her debut single, "Victims of the Riddle" released in 1979, while her knack for crafting catchy pop-infused tracks can be heard in her hits like "It's a Mystery" and "Thunder in the Mountains," which were chart-topping hits in the UK in the early eighties.

Born in Birmingham, England in 1958, Toyah grew up surrounded by music and was deeply influenced by the sounds of David Bowie, Marc Bolan, and Roxy Music. Throughout the 1970s, she honed her craft as a performer in a series of acting and musical roles, appearing in stage productions such as "The Tempest" and "Caligula," and even appearing in the iconic British film "Quadrophenia.

Robert Fripp
Robert Fripp is a guitarist, composer, and producer best known as the founder and leader of the progressive rock band King Crimson. Born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England, on May 16, 1946, Fripp started playing guitar in his teens and began his career in the late 1960s with the band Giles, Giles & Fripp, which also featured his future King Crimson bandmates Greg Lake and Michael Giles.

In 1969, Fripp formed King Crimson, which quickly became known for their innovative and experimental approach to rock music. The band's first album, "In the Court of the Crimson King," is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential rock albums of all time, and Fripp's guitar work on the album is particularly notable for its use of dissonance and unconventional chord progressions.

Over the years, Fripp has collaborated with a wide range of artists and musicians, including David Bowie, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, and Peter Gabriel.
