Since the start of this millennium, Mick Foster and Tony Allen have sold more than 1 million albums in the UK and with the release of The Ultimate Collection – they are on course to extend their run of success in the UK Artist Albums Chart, which stretches back to 1983 but which was preceded by their first appearance on Top of The Pops in April 1982.

The Ultimate Collection is their first best of for nine years and is a 41-track, 2CD set, featuring all of their best known and loved songs, including “A Bunch Of Thyme”, “Maggie” and “The Fields Of Athenry”. Also featured on the album are twelve new recordings, including an exclusive duet with Daniel O Donnell on “Power To All Our Friends” and a brand new version of Maggie.

Having sold almost 20 million albums worldwide, Foster & Allen have not forgotten their fans, who have enjoyed listening to their music and watching them perform over the last 30 years or so.
