Anthony Toner

No Alibis Bookstore is very pleased to invite you to an evening of music with Anthony Toner, to celebrate the launch of his new album, MILES & WEATHER on Friday 6th March at 8:00PM. This concert is SOLD OUT.

Anthony Toner has been described as ‘John Prine meets James Taylor – in a second hand book shop’. His single ‘Sailortown’ grabbed the attention of radio listeners in Northern Ireland in 2010, and his music has held public attention ever since. The song was an utterly contemporary, clear-eyed depiction of a doomed teenage romance - set against the backdrop of Belfast’s fabled Sailortown neighbourhood, now undergoing all kinds of transformations.

‘The walls in the city have a lot to say, about the UVF and the IRA,’ its young narrator says, ‘but these walls say nothing about who I am, when I’m singing in the garden at the Rotterdam, doing Brown Eyed Girl and Whiskey In The Jar.’

He’s also developing a strong following in Canada, having performed regularly in Quebec as well as in Toronto and Vancouver. His live performances always feature entertaining stories from the road, peerless guitar playing and thought-provoking songs that stay with you on the way home.
