Anthony Toner is a singer songwriter based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Anthony caused something of a stir in
Crail when supporting Barbara Dickson and Rab Noakes at the folk club last September, so due to public
demand he returns.
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.

As BBC Radio DJ Mike Harding said recently, “No-one else writes or sounds like Jez Lowe”, and chances are, even if you’ve never heard the man himself, you’ll have heard his songs, sung at festivals, club-gigs, open-mikes or on CD, by the great and good, the professional and the enthusiast, the young and not-so-young. What higher accolade could a songwriter hope for?

Boo and Heidi have recorded and toured together extensively going all the way back to Heidi’s first solo tour of the UK in 2005. Born in Ireland, Heidi became a folk star in the USA as a member of the Irish American band Cherish the Ladies, and now lives in Edinburgh. With a background like that, it's hardly surprising she should develop a style that switches easily between Celtic and Americana, but subtlety is Talbot’s magic ingredient.

Her tour with Boo, one of England's most celebrated singer-songwriters celebrates their long-standing musical relationship spanning over 18 years.
