Legendary Irish music duo Foster & Allen are bringing their new album to Christchurch as part of their We’ll Meet Again tour.

Since the start of 2000, Mick Foster and Tony Allen have racked up music sales of almost one and a half million and 40 years on from their first appearance on Top Of The Pops with A Bunch Of Thyme, they’re back with a new album, also called We’ll Meet Again, which features 14 tracks – and an air of poignancy, apparently.

With touring and performing curtailed for all artists for more than two years, they come with a spring in their steps, no doubt due to the album’s anticipated release and the accompanying 22-date UK tour, including at the Regent Centre.
From the opening title track, the evergreen staple, We’ll Meet Again, to their take on popular classics such as Cotton Fields Back Home, traditional songs and recently-recorded popular songs including Derek Ryan’s Hold Onto Your Hat, Foster & Allen are back in their stride and not showing any signs of slowing down.
And their continued recording and touring underline just how popular they remain to their devoted fans who never tire of seeing them live.

We’ll Meet Again is out now.
