|
Hi Dom, Pennywell eh! Hope all is well up there. Sorry about your Dad making you listen to us! Nothing planned for a Sunderland show as yet, anything will be announced on the Tour Dates list. 14! wow, exactly the age I began playing guitar! 7 years ago! Olga | |
I'm Klaudio from Rome and i'd ask you if the Toy dolls have in program to play in Rome for their last tour.Many people would see you playing for the first time!!!! because your music rocks (yeahhh!). I hope to see you soon and i wait for an answer. Bye bye Klaudio and all the many people that want you here, in Rome!!!. |
|
Rome! a place we really wanna go, we will get there, I am sure! Take care Olga | |
THANK YOU for a really wonderful show in Lillehammer, and for the autograph & photo afterwards. Well worth the three-hour drive from Oslo with a rented car, thanks for being so friendly :-) Hope you`ll do more shows in Norway! All the best, Ellen |
|
Ellen Hi! Thank you for coming to the Lillehammer show! We are in Norway on 17th August! plesae check the tour dates! Hope to see you there. Cheers olga | |
Hi Olga, I meant to ask you this in my last email but forgot so here goes. Was your line in " Smiling through the tears " written by you, or for you or is it just a coincidence that the " please leave your wives at home" bit, is a sentiment echoed in many of your songs? Bloody criminal that it aint the official world cup song, its so much better than some of the other crap on offer. " Come on England " by Dexys midnight runners for example, It must have taken them seconds to come up with that eh? Cheers, Dom. |
|
Hello Dom! Actually, it was written by Peter test Tube! but does sound like I wrote it! Shame nothing happened with the song, twas a good one, yeah i agree with you about the Dexys song! take care olga | |
Greetings, Olga & THE
TOY DOLLS! My name is Alex from Russia, Saint-Petersburg. 2 june was
at your concert. |
|
Hi there Alex! Saint Petersburg was a blast indeed. Thank you! we will be back! and with different songs! Cheers olga |
|
hello there olga just wanted to ask two question i've always wanted to ask 1. why do you wear shades in shows and videos and stuff? 2. have they ever fallen off in a live show? |
|
Hello! 1. I wear shades coz I am too nervous to see the audience! truth! 2. no chance of falling off, always held on with elastic! cheers olga | |
Hey Olga ... since there's very little chance I'm getting to Europe in the near future, how about you head downunder for a gig or two?Ê You can stay at my place if you like (the kids won't mind sharing).Ê Saw you once long ago in Rotterdam - spent 80 dollars on an Taxi getting to the gig from The Hague - worth every penny! So how about it? A quick trip to the land of Aus ... there's a vegemite sandwich with your name on it just waiting. Keep going ... we need more Barry the Roofer! Catchya later, loki |
|
loki Hi Yeah, still hoping for shows down under! You enjoyed the Rotterdam show? I thought we sucked that night!, but thats just my opinion! Hope to see ya soon! Olga | |
Dear Olga (?), My husband is a HUGE fan as are our children now (ages 15,10 and 9) . We live in a SMALL town of Elizabeth, Colorado in the USA. My question, more of a request, is this: My husband said if you come the USA he is going to take the children to go see you live. That means I will have the house to myself for at least three days. Alone. By myself. Please come to tour the USA. I am begging you! |
|
Yeah, we will get there, sit tight! plans underway! olga | |
I was just curious, what
do you think of England's chances for World Cup victory this summer?
Hope to see you in the States later this year! Cheers! Scott |
|
Scott, really, I think England will go quite far, not sure about actually winning the cup, but would be nice! been some time! Olga | |
alright quick question. i lost my shades they looked almost exactly like your white and black ones, but mine were all black.... so the question is where did you find your glasses? i really need to find a new pair ive been lookin for like a month now |
|
I lost mine also! about 22 years ago! I got them from my mate Neil, I aint seen him for years, will have to make a date to meet up, see if he has another pair. olga | |
hi olga. (sorry for my english i'm french) - I recently heard 3seconds of "nellie the elephant" in a french advertising for a mineral water. Did you get money with these 3 seconds? I didn't know the band before, and since this advertising, i find you on the web, and I got "fat bob's feet" really fantastic album. When do you come back in paris? bye thomas | |
Thomas hi We will be back in Paris on the next European tour, when the next album is released, not sure when mind ya! No money for the advertising I am afraid, not even a free bottle o water! Pleased you like Fat bobs feet, not the best album! Cheers olga | |
Hi, Olga! Greatest gig
in Apelsin club in Moscow!!! Thanks a lot!!! My question: why did it
took you so long to come back to Russia? It has been so long since that
last 1997 gig in DK Gorbunova, (by the way the most great and legendary
hall for rock perfomances in Moscow). Maybe you didn't like something
there at that time? |
|
Sergei Hi! Thanks! we really enjoyed the Apelsin show. Not sure why it took so long to get back to russia! will ask our management! Wont be so long next time though! The DK Gorbunova is a much better venue for sure, we loved that place. Cheers for the Yul info! see ya next time! Olga | |
Hello my dear, i don't really have any questions, but i want to say that i have been a fan from early years,and still are. i have brain washed my kids by playing The Toy dolls and sex pistols at home in many years,so now my doughter is taking over an spreding the word...you are great and we have the same idol in mr.lydon... he must be the most honest person in the world... but yet i still sing toy dolls when i wipe the floor. thank you for making my life funny,and for being weird in public :))) if i have to ask a question it would be....why havent you guys been to my barbeque yet? i have been waiting for about 20 years...and we are almost out of pork..have a splendid life...kisses *irene* from norway |
|
Hi Irene The BBQ idea sounds splendid! Cheers! We are in Norway in august actually! Take care olga |
|

|
Cheers mate, thank you! I will never forget the Old 29 for sure. We may keep going, a little longer! Olga |
|
hi olga two simple questions, why chant were geordies after kids in tyne & wear when youre a mackem, secondly when can we se you at home in sunderland? remember no groove diggers at le metro? |
|
Hi! I lived in Sunderland most of me life, but I was born in South Shields, what does that make me!? Yeah, I remember putting No groovediggers on Le Metro door! No Sunderland gigs planned just yet. Take care olga | |
Just a quick request. Next time your ordering some Toy Dolls T shirts, any chance of getting a few in kiddie sizes? I expect quite a few of your fans are parents ( after all you've been around a while and there's never anything on the TV, so these things happen! ) and would love a T shirt for they're kids. I know my two boys would wear them with pride. Also, wasn't there some talk a while backÊof merchandise being available soon through the website? Is this still the plan? Because my T shirts wont last forever. Cheers Dom. |
|
Dom Hi! I will have a word with the company that do our merchandise! still thinking on the website merchandise. I know the girlie shirts have been doing very well, maybe these will fit the kids? olga | |

|
We hope to see you too, soon! thank you. Olga | |
I have been reading all the questions sent to you and one in particular bothers me, namely the one concerning u.k gigs. Im sorry but i have never heard such rubbish. How can you say that you are not good enough to do u.k gigs yet you play everywhere else in the world?. People dont care if its not musically perfect,all they care about is being able to show their appreciation of a great band. (And buy a T-Shirt) Come to England and play for us.We need it. thank you. Rod. |
|
Rod Hi Cheers for your mail, we wont be musically perfect when we play UK, or anywhere! thats for sure! Twould be nice for us to be the great band you mention though! Hope to see ya soon. Olga | |
All reet Olga - I got your
book From Fulwell To Fukuoka from the advert on this site. It's brilliant
but instead of using the word "crap" so often you could have
said "masterpiece". ( I tried to order it out of a bookshop
in sunderland - It was fun saying Fukuoka to the female assistant -
they could get but there was a 2 week wait) |
|
John Hi Will stop you if I get back to Sunderland yeah! cant believe the Ashbrooke launderette is still there! Enjoy the book! Olga | |
Hello Olga I'm Kornel from Liechtenstein. I wanted to know, whether the ''Toy Dolls'' could come to the Sziget Festival (9.-15. August) or to the Rock Am See Festival (2. August, www.rock-am-see.de). I'd find it really cool, if you could play on one of these festivals because i've never seen you life before (just on videos) and I'm a big fan of your band. You could also write me, if you're going to play in Switzerland or in Liechtenstein =). I know that you're a very busy man, but I would be really happy if you could write me back. Greets, Kornel |
|
Hi Kornel, we wont be at the Sziget festival this year, maybe next, we are doing the half szijet festival however, please check the tour dates. Hopefully there will be more shows inSwitzerland, we love it there! Olga | |
Ello Olga! I looked at
the tours you've been having, and it seems like you're very busy. I
just discovered The Toy Dolls, (yeah, it's kinda sad, I wish I could
have discovered you earlier.) Speaking of tour dates, i was wondering
if you've ever been to America. Don't worry, I'm not asking if you're
coming or anything, but it seems like you're going all over Europe.
Must be pretty there....... I'd really love to go. Anyway, I hope this
last part of the question doesn't seem obnoxious, but what is your birth
date? I always look up a new artists birthday, it's an old habit. :)
Well, have fun on hopefully your "not last tour", Spazee McGee |
|
Spazee McGee hey! Yeah, we have done a few American tours, really enjoyed it! my birthdate is 21st September, cant remember what year though! 81? 82? Olga | |
Olga, how did you get to be such a hot ladies man? Cheers, Sonya |
|
Charm, cuteness, manly body, eh, ? this is a trick question, right!? xx olga | |
Hi Olga, I'm 17 and i live in Florida and just started listening to the toy dolls and i was wondering where do you draw your inspiration from? chris | |
hi Chris, most of my inspiration comes from everday life, shopkeepers, girlfriends, people we know, true stories, and soap operas Olga | |
I received a tape from
a friend a long time ago and |
|
Gypsy Hey sosrecords.us They will hep ya for sure. Good luck Olga. |
