Take it easy and go see an Eagles tribute band

Take it easy and go see a band dedicated to the music of 1970s rock legends the Eagles.

The Alter Eagles’ two hour show will feature all of the original band’s biggest hits including Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane.

Singer Sam Confrey says: "There are a couple of big Eagles covers bands in the UK, but they’ve been at it for a while and have started to adapt some of the songs to suit themselves.

"They’re great bands - but they’re not doing a tribute anymore.

"The process can be painstaking but it's always worthwhile.

"There's a real buzz when you crack a particular harmony or when Mike and Jay nail a guitar duet.

"Once that's happened, we just want to get the song out there and start playing it in front of people."
