Anthony Toner – Some of Prine, some of Mine

Anthony Toner: Some of Prine, some of Mine

Belfast-based songwriter Anthony Toner opened the show for the legendary Barbara Dickson on her last visit to Kinross, and makes a welcome return for the Winter Festival with a unique afternoon concert, mixing his own material with a selection of songs from one of the masters - the late, great John Prine. Anthony’s own work was once memorably described as ‘like James Taylor meets John Prine – in a second hand bookshop’, and he admits that Prine has always been a major influence. Anthony has been growing a devoted audience across Scotland with intimate folk club shows over the last ten years, and winning hearts with superb fingerstyle guitar and a repertoire of songs like ‘Sailortown’, ‘Well Well Well’ and ‘Exit Wounds’. And for this one-off he’s adding a mix of Prine classics like ‘Sam Stone’, ‘Speed of the Sound of Loneliness’, ‘Souvenirs’ and many more. Expect an afternoon of great songs and some entertaining stories from the road.

This concert is part of the Kinross-shire Winter Festival organised by KLEO (Kinross-shire Local Events Organisation). For more events and info go to www.kleo.org.uk
