Foster & Allen – Lost in Music review: A lovely series full of warmth ... (Independent.ie)

A couple of other old dogs who might disagree with that erroneous received wisdom are musical duo Mick Foster and Tony Allen. After almost 50 years together, 30 ...

Then it’s on to Doolin in Clare to meet Steo Wall, a Dubliner who relocated there and describes his music, which often addresses his half-Traveller heritage, as “contemporary urban folk”. Brian Reddin’s wonderful two-parter follows Foster and Allen as they set out to try something different by collaborating with a new breed of young Irish music-makers. It’s not entirely new territory for the 24-year-old Dubliner. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, goes the centuries-old saying. You’d be wrong. Well, my particular old dog would beg to differ.

Still doing something right - The Irish World (The Irish World Newspaper)

Foster and Allen told us about their new album, how they started in Kilburn and collaborating with young stars like Shayne Ward and Nathan Carter.

“Back then the pubs in London and the pubs in Ireland were absolutely flying. “He stayed in Dublin, he just wanted to walk down the street and I am not joking. What was it like to play on Top of the Pops? “It was great craic. “I loved Top of the Pops. “We knew it was a great song because even as kids we would have heard it, you know? Mick says: “We actually started in London, would you believe? “So she was off the road as well. “The actual playing is nothing. The song had a long stay in the Irish charts and although it was not until years later, it was also their breakthrough song in the UK. We’ll definitely be back out and we’ll meet everybody somewhere along the line’. Established in 1975, the duo started playing cabaret venues in Ireland and the UK before their big break came in 1978 with A Bunch of Thyme.
