Greetings!

Meet Mama Tokus - an entertaining and edifying, funky and funny singer, hostess and poetess who writes and sings nu soul, blues and R&B tunes (old, proper Ray Charles-style R&B, that is), nu-music-hall ditties and humorous (but always groovy) tunes – memorable originals and interpretations.

What the people say:

“Like Dr John in a three-way with Shirley Bassey and Eartha Kitt”

Gift economies, Miss Ovulator and harmonious geezers


Am back from performing at the Burning Man party Decom, where I shared billing with Miss Ovulator (who gave up one of her eggs live on stage)  – swiftly followed up by my own song (Too Busy To) Reproduce. Now THERE’S a programming gift...


Did I say gift? Of course, the Burning Man Festival is a gift economy and as such is one of the alternative payment systems espoused in my current reading: The Future of Money

Not a maths gal meself, but even this low-grade adder-upper can see that the current system’s struggling under the weight of cruelty, unfairness and cold-hearted capitalism.

Which is why it’s time to be uplifted! If you’re local to St Mary’s Church, Totnes – enjoy this harmonious lot along with Mama: Sakhioba, a Georgian men’s choir.

I’ll be at the front of the church. Praying for redemption.
