Below is a list of live dates featuring Anthony Toner - a mixture of solo performances, special guest slots with Barbara Dickson and Nick Holland on their dates throughout the UK, performances with the Ronnie Greer Blues Band and also with ‘classic country’ covers trio The Boondocks.

Anthony updates this list himself on a regular basis, so do keep visiting for updates, as more gigs are coming in all the time, for which I am eternally grateful. There are a host of shows to be added for later in the year, most of which are not yet on sale.
