Anthony Toner Live at the Linen Hall

11th December – 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

£15.00

Belfast-based singer songwriter Anthony Toner makes his first solo appearance at The Linen Hall with an intimate acoustic show, featuring a selection of songs from his extensive back catalogue and some readings. Patrons can expect some peerless guitar playing on a repertoire that includes old favourites like ‘Sailortown’, ‘East of Louise’ and ‘Well Well Well’, as well as selections like ‘An Alphabet’ and ‘The Protection of the King’, from his more recent albums.

Along the way, Anthony will throw in some well-chosen cover versions, some blues, inevitably some Christmas songs, given the season – and of course a number of stories from the road and background on the songs. He may even read a few of his favourite poems. One audience member at a recent show commented that the evening was ‘like watching a series of beautiful short films’.

Treat yourself to a magical night of music in the historic setting of The Linen Hall this December. A limited bar will be available.

About Anthony Toner

Anthony Toner is a singer songwriter based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He’s currently celebrating the release of his 14th album, Ghost Notes Vol 2, a collection of cover versions of songs from artists as diverse as King Crimson and Elvis Presley, and will be playing dates across Northern Ireland, Scotland and England throughout 2024.

Famed for his engaging between-songs patter and his accomplished guitar playing, he is one of Northern Ireland’s most popular live acts, chalking up dozens of live shows a year as a solo acoustic artist, ‘In the Round’ with friends, and also on electric guitar, playing slide blues in the Ronnie Greer Blues Band. In each setting, his command of the instrument and his voice are pressed into service to deliver some of the finest lyrics you’ll hear in contemporary roots music.

He’s been described as ‘James Taylor meets John Prine in a second-hand book shop’, and that about captures his style – literate, warm, insightful and connected.
