Since the start of this millennium, Mick Foster and Tony Allen have sold almost 1.5 MILLION albums in the UK and with the release of "Gold & Silver Days" - 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. "Gold & Silver Days" is Foster & Allen's first all new album for a decade, featuring 20 new recordings.
Also featured on the album are two duets with THE LONDON IRISH PENSIONERS CHOIR; 'Gold & Silver Days' and the Rita MacNeil classic, 'Working Man'. The London Irish Pensioners Choir was founded in 2005 by Sally Mulready, a member of the Irish Council of State. Backed by a fully comprehensive national PR campaign, "Gold & Silver Days" will be an essential gift purchase.
As a British 83 year of age senior citizen I am forever going to remember Foster and Allen will stories in song which bring back memories for many fond and sometimes sad and help shed tears of joy instead of tears of sorrow.
My father was a miner, born in 1901, being the eldest, he had to go down the mines to help support the family at the age of 13 years! At the age of 47 years, he had to leave with the dreaded pneumoconiosis and suffered for the rest of his life. I was born in 1934 in a family of 3, and always so proud of him. This song brings back my childhood in a mining family, of which I am proud.

God bless
My grandfather has been deceased since 2011 and he was a coal miner in Yorkshire, UK. I'd like to thank him for all the hard work he did for me and for everyone by being a miner. R.I.P Grandad this song is dedicated to you.
My father was a coal miner in the Yorkshire pits in the 50ths and 60s and worked on the face on his hands and knees. thank God I never had to go down the mines,brilliant lyrics with meaning and song very good by foster and Allen
I could listen to these two all night and I do since I lost my wife 5 weeks ago an I keep looking for more of the songs they sing love it ❤
Sad to hear i send you a big hearth❤
Bless you luv. Just enter Foster and Alan into you tube search. I did that and I found quite a few. Take care n Godbless. Lucy.xx
Bless you my dear. Keep the faith.
Fantastic version sung by two real Irish gentlemen and an awesome support group
For anyone who's family we're connected to the coalmines, this song really tugs at the emotions. My two Grandfather's were killed down the mines and my father worked in them from 14yrs of age. When he retired early at 60, he had aged before his time. There was little he could after retiring, the pits had took all his strength.
My grandad worked down the mines he got and died from lung disease miss him so much 😢
😭😭😭😭 I miss you dad, this was your favourite song
These lads may never have worked "under ground" but they seem to have a certain affinity to what they're singing about!!!!
This song fits my grandad perfectly as he worked down the mine at a young age along with his uncle and cousin ❤️, his cousin and uncle sadly died down in the mines that they worked in 🙏😢💐
My eldest brother worked in the mines here in New Zealand. I think this song is special no matter where in the world our menfolk go down underground. Beautiful from Foster and Allen.
Good Lord! Can't be more beautiful than this!!!💖💖💖
Love anything that thay sing Teddy from Wales
Love them both xxx
Very beautiful song and voice
A brilliant rendition of Rita MacNeil's classic song. Foster and Allen are magnificent musicians.
I don't think Rita wrote the song. She just sings it well.
@@allanryan8441 I'm sorry my friend. She did write it.
She wrote it with Men of the Deep, who were miners in Nova Scotia.
WOW and WOW. Amazing duo and beautiful voices from these two great men. 👍
Beautiful song sung by A&F ,very close to my heart,love to listen at any time and any number of times
En vakker og sterk sang! Jeg har arbeidet i snart 50 år som anleggs og transportarbeider. Har hatt et innholdsrikt liv. Men bøyer meg i støvet for de som for 100 år siden har fulgt samme yrkesvalg som meg! Min dypeste respekt for anleggsfolk og gruvearbeider over hele verden!
These two are great - I love to listen to them
I so love this song... true to life god bless our miners who lived and died to provide fuel to keep us warm.foster and allen are legends and rita's voice fits this song to a tee.
A credit to foster and Allen and background choir. Lovely song beautifully sung " as usual with foster & Allen god bless.
Love this version. They do it justice
These too guys are just brilliant. Paddy from Belfast. North of Ireland.
Beautiful song. They sing it well....Love it
I love this song it brings back memories and my friends that was in the mine
Wasn't aware that F&A had done a version of this. First time I've ever heard it and I genuinely love it. But then the song is an all time favourite of mine anyway.
This is a song written by the late Rita MacNeil of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Cape Breton has had coal mines since it was French colony n the 1700's. The mines are gone now for the most part but they are part of the culture and there have always been many miners choruses.
Absolutly beautiful song my late uncle and grandad used too sing it all the time ,💔 xx
Love these singers they are brilliant.
foster and Allen, brilliant as usual!Choir very good.
It never ages this song 💙💙💙🏴🏴
Written by our beloved Rita Macneil from Nova Scotia, Canada. RIP Rita
This is a good version of a lovely song but Rita's was the best.
Love this
My heart aches listening to this song, such a sad day when Rita left us. First heard her songs on the Terry Wogan show, am I happy I did x
What's with a song about men working underground being sung in the first person by a woman?
I'm not trying to be a dick, I just don't understand a song that's written from a male's viewpoint being sung by a woman.
The words are spot on,I went underground at Shilbottle Colliery and you had to grow up fast.
What a wonderful song....sung with such tenderness. Deeply moving for all who've been "its been a working man."
This my dads song this who no longer with I cry when I hear it xxxx
Can't be more beautiful than this! Love it💟
Wow what a fantastic version of this great song. Only Foster and Allen could do it. Many thanks for sharing. Jim
Rita MacNeil was one of the greats, Thank you Foster & Allen... Wonderful job of her song..
+Mark Lewis You made Cape Breton, Nova Scotia proud... Enjoy our song world it's meant the world to us for all these years.. Look for Rita and the Miners (Men of The Deeps) singing it as well.
+Mark Lewis
Yes --------------- but NO ONE will ever surpass Rita for the outpouring of emotion that was so evident in her rendition.

Like all foster & allan songs this is truely great one song beautiful.
Next to The Dubliners, this is my favourite rendition...
My Granddad worked "Down Underground" from the age of 13 till his late 50s, when he took early retirement.
He started out as a 'Hooker' down Howbridge Pit (Lancashire) and ended as Pit Area Manager, for t'North Wales Coal Board, at Gresford (North East Wales).
Good version but I prefer Mary duff singing this
The best version of this great song is by the woman who wrote it and sang it. Rita MacNeil from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Canada is this singer-songwriter. It is especially magnificent when she sings it with the Men of the Deep, a male choir made up of actual miner's. An incredible rendition of this wonderful song. Very emotional, very powerful.
@@delby66 I agree. Rita's version is the first I heard and remains the best in my opinion but there are many other good versions of this song including this one.
Great Tony, I love this. Stuff this Corona Virus, I hope and pray that it will vanish and we will get back to seeing Foster and Allen on the road again!!! God Bless you both. Nr. Ireland.
Love foster and Allen seem to only listen to irsh music these days X xxxx Diane 🇨🇮👍💚🐸
I love country music 🎶
I was a Miner. It’s one of my songs I sing when I go to my local Karaoke Pubs. 😂😄👍🙏🍺🍺.
Men of the Deep RIP Rita MacNeil
My daddy was a coal miner in West Virginia. It killed his ability to work but he carried us through. I miss them so.
I think its a really lovely song. It sounds very calming to the soul
Absolutely beautiful. Just gorgeous.
Saw these 2 fine men sing live beautiful this song will always be my favourite my ancestors all worked underground many years Cornwall UK blessed be .
fantastic song
Absolutely fantastic .
74 should work in a mine for a week to how gruelling & dangerous mining is. Deep respect to all miners.

@@valeriebrown7184 Sorry Val. its canadian..Rita Macneil from Cape Breton Can.
@@ralphellison8962 Hi, this a Canadian song, written by the late, great Rita MacNeil, from Big Pond, Cape Breton, Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. She was a well-known Canadian singer, who was famous for the beautiful, dark voice, her song-writing skills and her warm personality. She passed from this life far too early, but we, in her home province, will never forget how she made us feel.
Great Rita McNeil (Nova Scotia) song.
Very Nice Well Done---Been A Cape Bretoner --Love Rita Mac Neil

CountrynIrish game jenter
Michael judge 🇮🇪
Fabulous !!!
Great song.
God bless you from thee.irish.poet we met many years.ago
Beautiful……This song almost makes me cry. The miners who worked on their bellies to hew out the coal were to me and many others real hero’s of their time. They lived in miners cottages near to the pit tiny they were, their wives would boil water and then they bathed in front on the fire in the tin bath when they came off shift. Now I believe that most of our coal is imported. So sad.
My grandad died in a Standish mine, my dad lost his dad at 14, it’s effected my dad, so this song means something.
My Grandad was 12 and he worked in the mines in England to support his sister and parents he died with the lung condition sad.
😍beautiful🤩🌹
Beautiful song written by a Canadian Woman !!!!!
If you ever get the chance lynda, look for Rita NcNeil singing this with The Men of the Deep, they're ex miners who have tremendous voices. It's quite emotional and beautiful.
Stephen Lisson it’s one of my favourite TH-cam clips. I have all Rita mc Neil’s songs .As the wife of a retired coal miner I can. Really relate to the emotion she puts into this song
Lovely song so true reminds me what happen in New z I think of those men that died sad working man Foster and Allen I also heard Eddie Low sing was FAb,they both sing it great
to all british and irish coal miners, thankyou lads!
this song does em proud*****
Brian Kiernan Smith A great moving song for those of any nation who go underground (S Africa)
Ken 8Margo
How beautifully said my friend my dad gave his life for the pit. Love him so much and proud
Nice words appreciated
I LIKE THIS SONG....iT GIVES ME AND AN UNKNOWN FEELINGS...
fantastic story to brave men
+Ke Km Can't imagine what it would take to be a coal miner! So much respect for these men who did what they had to!
+Sharon MacDougall if only they knew what life would be like in 20 to 30 yrs for their health would they still have done it? answer is probably yes, that was life and their income!
what a lovely ssong
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVELY MUSIC
I I had a student in my class of a retired miner from Limbourg province. Her name was Lizette,
I have special memories on her
I find it somebody telling the real feeling of a working man....
