Talon: Best of Eagles

Talon are playing The Stables in Milton Keynes on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November, with both nights starting at 8:00pm. They're a seven-piece band that's spent the last quarter of a century working through the Eagles' back catalogue, and they've built a reputation as one of the most successful theatre touring shows in the UK.

The set leans on the Eagles' best-known songs, and the list of what they cover runs deep. You'll hear 'Hotel California', 'Take It Easy', 'One Of These Nights', 'Take It To The Limit', 'Desperado', 'Lyin' Eyes' and 'Life In The Fast Lane' among them. It's a broad sweep of the Eagles' output, from the country-rock of the early years to the polished West Coast sound that became their trademark.

There's a bit of weight behind the name, too. Eagles hit songwriter Jack Tempchin once said, 'Talon perform the songs of the Eagles with reverence and super talent'. That's a fair bit of praise coming from someone who actually wrote the songs they're playing.

Both nights are in the Jim Marshall Auditorium at The Stables, and tickets are £30, which includes the booking fee. Both dates are now sold out, so if you're looking for a way in, you'll need to keep an eye on the venue's official listings for any returns.
