Foster and Allen in UK Top 30 again

Foster and Allen’s latest release Putting On The Style entered the UK album charts at No.29 during its first week of release. It is another endorsement of the enduring appeal of these evergreen entertainers from Westmeath.

This is Foster and Allen’s 23rd Top 40 UK selling album spanning back 35 years all the back to 1983 when they had their first chart entry with the album Maggie.

The new album features 100 tracks, 50 tracks on 2CDs plus 50 tracks on DVD and includes their most recent single and video Burning Bridges with Nathan Carter, which has had more than 230,000 YouTube views.

This year, Foster and Allen have performed 18 shows in New Zealand and will embark on a further 19 concerts across the UK in October and November to support the release of the album.

They will also be back touring Ireland this Christmas and New Year starting off in the Ard Rí Hotel in Tuam on Thursday, 27 December.

“I’m delighted to release my new radio single There You Are which is taken from my new studio album, Born for the Road. I really love the song and, from the moment I heard it, I could not wait to record it,” says Nathan.
