==Biography==
It all started back in 1997 at the intimate 12 Bar Club in London supporting London's best unsigned band Rhatigan on a monthly residency.〔Ant's official Myspace page〕 Antony's first CD, ''Cures For Broken Hearts'' came out in 2000 on Fortune & Glory Records (UK) to positive reviews: "Likeable delicate stuff" said Q Magazine,〔Q Magazine review 2000〕 "An unexpected Joy" said Mojo,〔Mojo magazine review〕 and the CD received airplay on BBC Radio One. He was asked to record a solo session for John Peel during the summer of that year, featuring 4 acoustic versions of songs that would later appear on his debut album.〔Ant's official website〕 The debut album, a collection of London home recordings called ''A Long Way To Blow A Kiss'', was quietly released in 2002 on Fortune and Glory Records. It was also warmly received: "Ant proves a delicate little joy" said Teletext, and "Scruffy, gorgeous notes-to-self" was how Mojo described it. After relocating to Malmo, Sweden, ''Floating On The Breeze'', a mini album of home recordings was released on Italian label Homesleep Records (2003): "Charmed mini album of ringing acoustic pop" said Uncut, "Pleasing bedroom rock" said the NME. Ant's first compilation CD of rarities and b-sides, ''Sad To See It's Morning'', emerged on Fortune & Glory in 2004 to positive words: "Beautiful acoustic nuggets" Mojo, "Sweet, charming, piquant pop gems" Record Collector. The second album, ''Footprints Through the Snow'', was recorded in 8 days one hot summer in Bologna Italy in 2004 and released in 2006 to rave Italian reviews: "Close your eyes and breathe it in" recommended Subba-Cultcha. After a break of some years, another mini album of home recordings, this time aided by friends, entitled ''These Long Dark Country Roads'', came out in 2009 on cult Spanish label Acuarela Discos: "Gorgeous lo-fi, acoustic pop songs" said ''Rock Feedback''.〔Acuarela Discos official website〕 That 'difficult' third album ''The Birds Sing Goodnight To You And Me'', recorded with his old Hefner band mates Darren Hayman, John Morrison and Jack Hayter, seemed to come easily. It was released in March 2012 on Italian label We Were Never Being Boring,〔We Were Never Being Boring official website〕 and was hailed as "the album of the year 2012" by Dandelion Radio's Mark Whitby. It was followed in 2013 by a mini-mini-album of sunny instrumentals entitled ''Only Pipe Dreams in the Pipeline'', once again on the WWNBB collective of Italy, described as "A feast of frothy folk" by Soundsxp.〔WWNBB official website〕
Antony has toured in England, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and China, where he celebrated his 100th solo performance.
His fourth full-length album, ''By The Yellow Sea'', and his first as Antony Harding, set sail in June 2015.〔Ant's official website〕
