A TALENTED duo who have performed together for more than 40 years have postponed their show in Clacton.

Foster and Allen were due to be playing at Clacton’s West Cliff theatre tomorrow.

But the venue has announced that the show will now be postponed.

A spokesman said: “We regret to inform you that the Foster and Allen Show on Saturday has been postponed.

“The promoters of the show have taken this precautionary decision to protect the health and welfare of the band and their fans.

“The box office team will be in touch shortly to arrange transfer of your tickets to the new date where possible.

“If this is not suitable, a credit note or full refund will be offered.

“Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this has caused, but unfortunately due to the current situation with the coronavirus outbreak this decision has been made with the very best of intentions.”

The popular band had promised a fresh and exciting show alongside their easy listening sound which remains as fresh and exciting as ever.

They said they really enjoy the business they are in, especially the live concerts.

The duo added: “We hope you enjoy our new recordings and we look forward to hopefully meeting you at one of our concerts.”

Mick and Tony were due to return to the theatre with their special edition new release, called Timeless Memories.

The album features 182 tracks from ten of their most popular and favourite albums, many of which have not been reissued in the UK for years.

“The promoters of the show have taken this precautionary decision to protect the health and welfare of the band and their fans."

These include chart topper Maggie, After All These Years, Reminiscing, Reflections, Remember You’re Mine, Souvenirs, Memories, Heart Strings, By Request, Songs We Love To Sing along with other popular hits.

The story of Foster and Allen began back in the seventies when Mick and Tony were playing in country music bands around Ireland.

They had the idea of working together as a duo, playing “easy listening” music with a touch of traditional Irish instrumentals.
