Toyah and Robert Fripp make triumphant return to Sunday Lunch action
Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp have released a new instalment of their Sunday Lunch performance series, only the third fresh video shared in 2026 amid a run of archive repeats. The couple's latest offering sees them perform a characteristically irreverent cover of the Rolling Stones' 1968 hit Jumpin' Jack Flash from their kitchen, continuing the lighthearted format that has earned the pair a devoted online following.
Alongside the video, Toyah announced she will be awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Worcester next month, describing it as a career highlight after 50 years in show business. Separately, King Crimson, the band led by Fripp, have made 11 live shows recorded in Japan in 2000 during their promotion of the album The ConstruKction of Light available to download via streaming platform nugs, having previously been released through the band's DGM Live website in 2016.

Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp are a married couple who've built a large online following through their Sunday Lunch series, a run of informal, comic music videos filmed at home in which they cover well-known songs. Willcox is a singer and actress who rose to fame in the late 1970s and 1980s, while Fripp is a guitarist best known as the founder of the progressive rock band King Crimson.
The Sunday Lunch format began during the Covid-19 lockdowns as a way to keep performing and connecting with fans, and it has continued on and off since, mixing new videos with reposts of older ones. It matters chiefly to fans of the pair and of the wider progressive rock scene, as it reflects both Willcox and Fripp's long-running careers and their enduring public partnership.
King Crimson, though not fronted by Toyah, is relevant background because Fripp has led and reshaped the band across several decades, and its archived live recordings continue to be reissued for longtime followers of the group.
