[citation needed] At the age of nine, she won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, and gave a concert at the Wigmore Hall in the same year.
She appeared as a solo artist on tracks such as "Doctor Foster Tours The World", "Running, Stretching, Racing", "Why Does The Winkle Always Turn to the Right?"
She also performed many ensemble songs with Brian Cant, while Jonathan Cohen, Spike Heatley and Alan Rushton (who had all played at Ronnie Scott's) formed a tight band.
Brian and Toni weave a "night on the town" narrative in and out of the songs about Music Hall, coffee bars and gambling.
In 2003, Arthur directed A Very Naughty Boy by Adrian Poynton, based on the life of Graham Chapman.
