Tony, Caro & John is a British psychedelic folk trio whose debut album, All on the First Day, was released in 1972. The threesome are said to have taken their inspiration from the Incredible String Band's eclectic strain of psychedelic folk.

Their self-recorded debut album, All on the First Day, was self-pressed in an edition of only 100 copies, each with individually spray-painted covers. Expanding the band line-up with Simon Burrett on lead guitar, Jonny Owen (brother of Caro) on harmonica, and Rod Jones on keyboards, the trio continued on the college circuit for a little while under the name Forever and Ever but the gigging stopped in the late seventies. In 2001, a limited vinyl re-release of their debut album was made from the original master, and at the same time, released on CD. The release included five bonus tracks recorded around the time of All on the First Day. In 2012, the trio made their first major label release with the album "Blue Clouds" on the Chicago-based record label, Drag City. This album, a joint release with Gaarden and Galactic Zoo, was made up of rare unreleased and live tracks from the "All On The First Day" era. Tony and Caro, with accompanying musicians, toured Germany and the UK in early 2018 to promote a furt
