Introducing '50 At 50': A Special Collection including DVD
2025 is Foster & Allen’s 50th Anniversary and to celebrate the milestone, a new collection, “50 At 50”, serves up a selection of their best loved recordings, as well as 14 NEW tracks.
Of the new recordings there are several duets, including Singer/Songwriter Derek Ryan, with the lead single from this collection ‘In The Good Old Days’ and the Dancezone Stage School Choir but the most noticeable and touching song on the album is the duet ‘Flying Without Wings’, with Martin Finn, who has severe non-verbal autism. The remarkable Martin, despite being unable to speak, can read lyrics and sing them back entirely in tune!
This Deluxe Limited Edition package, also includes a DVD which features 20 official music videos and live performances, including the videos filmed for the lead singles ‘In The Good Old Days’ and ‘Flying Without Wings’.
Constantly touring and off the back of a successful sold-out Autumn 2024 Ireland and UK Tour, Mick and Tony show no signs of slowing down, with a raft of dates set through to April 2025, prove how popular they remain for their fans who like to hear them at home and see them in a live experience.
50 At 50: Double CD Option
For those of you who prefer the CD only option, join us in commemorating Foster & Allen’s incredible journey with the exclusive ’50 At 50′ collection. Don’t miss the chance to experience their timeless hits and new duets, including the heartwarming ‘Flying Without Wings’.
In The Good Old Days
The first single from the album was released on Friday 13th December 2024 which is an original song written by Derek Ryan “In The Good Old Days” and also featuring Derek. A video of the single was filmed on location at Kilbeggan Distillery Visitor Centre in County Westmeath. It is the World’s Oldest Whiskey Distillery, established in 1757 and still makes one of Ireland’s finest whiskeys.
Very familiar to Mick and Tony as they recorded one of their very first videos “The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill” at the Distillery back in 1983.
Flying Without Wings
The most noticeable and touching song, is the second single from the album, a duet ‘Flying Without Wings’, with Martin Finn, who has severe non-verbal autism. The remarkable Martin, despite being unable to speak, can read lyrics and sing them back entirely in tune and captivate the audience!
There is also a video of Mick, Tony & Martin available on YouTube of the single which was captured in studio when Martin came over to Ireland to record the track.
