Foster & Allen are an Irish folk music duo whose career has spanned over four decades. Comprising Mick Foster and Tony Allen, the pair began playing music together in the 1970s. Foster, born in County Kildare, met Allen, hailing from County Westmeath, at a local music gig, and they decided to pursue a collaborative career in the music industry. Their musical style is best described as easy-listening and their songs often encompass a mix of traditional Irish music, country and pop, imbued with a nostalgic and endearing quality that has appealed to a broad audience.

The duo achieved considerable success both in Ireland and internationally, with a notable following in the UK, Australia, and Canada. They are known for their melodic tunes, engaging live performances, and their skill in crafting songs that resonate with themes of love, loss, and Irish heritage. Over the years, Foster & Allen have released a plethora of albums, with more recent titles such as "We'll Meet Again" and "Gold & Silver Days" continuing to add to their extensive catalog. Their enduring career has not only marked them as stalwarts in the Irish folk scene but also as beloved entertainers whose music crosses generational boundaries and celebrates the timeless quality of traditional melodies.
