On the weekend of 23 & 24 May, 2026, musician and blogger Anthony Toner is visiting north Kent on his way home to Northern Ireland after touring as a special guest of Barbara Dickson and Nick Holland. His friend Maurice Kinkead, known for organising music events in Belfast for Van Morrison and now living in Sturry, has plans to bring Anthony and me together for two unique shows combining music and poetry. Anthony’s music ranges from sweet and thoughtful through funny to a high old time and it’ll be great to see how the two of us blend.

On Saturday 23 May, from 7pm at The Old Curiosity Shop in Harbour Street, Broadstairs – ‘An evening of words and music with Anthony Toner and Rosie Johnston’: event information and ticket details here.

On Sunday 24 May at 2.30 for a 3pm start at The Little Green Book Shop in Herne Bay – ‘An afternoon of words and music with Anthony Toner and Rosie Johnston’: event information and ticket details here.
