Концертный тур Фостера и Аллена по Шотландии и Северной Англии

Foster & Allen poster
Видео: Фостер и Аллен с участием Шэйн Уорд - Голуэй

Foster & Allen отправятся в турне по Шотландии и Северной Англии с 13 по 30 марта 2019 года. Ирландский дуэт народной музыки - звезды по всему миру, имеющие 30 альбомов с новым релизом за 40-летнюю карьеру, единственный акт в мире, который можно сделать так.

История Foster & Allen началась еще в семидесятых, когда они играли в кантри-группах по всей Ирландии. В 1975 году они собрали небольшую группу и поехали в Великобританию, чтобы поработать на ирландских музыкальных площадках в коротком туре.

В конце 1978 года они выпустили в Ирландии сингл A Bunch of Thyme, который вошел в ирландские чарты и стал их первым самым продаваемым синглом № 1. Он оставался в ирландских чартах в течение 40 недель подряд, возвращаясь в течение еще 13 недель.

На сегодняшний день Foster & Allen достигли продаж альбомов и видео более 20 миллионов по всему миру. Стиль Foster & Allen и легкий звук для прослушивания остаются популярными, особенно живые концерты
