Belfast-based songwriter Anthony Toner celebrates the release of his seventh album - Ink finds him in top form on a series of stripped back, acoustic-based songs dealing with the big themes of love, loss and happiness – and lyrics that cover subjects as diverse as politicians, 70s television, loaded guns and Alzheimer’s Disease. The album started with basic guitar tracks recorded by Anthony at home, with subsequent overdubs from John McCullough at The Piano Shack - and drums, vocals and bass overdubbed at No Sweat Studios in Coleraine, where longtime collaborator Clive Culbertson produced, mixed and mastered the album. It’s been almost a decade since Anthony sprang onto the Northern Ireland music scene with his much-loved song ‘Sailortown’, and since then he has continued to move forward, playing live constantly and releasing a string of albums packed with radio-friendly, insightful songs such as ‘East of Louise’, ‘Well Well Well’, ‘The Road to Fivemiletown’, ‘The Duke of Oklahoma’ and many more.
