“On Friday, November 12 Alter Eagles will present the Eagles Tribute Show performing the whole repertoire of Eagles tracks, from tasteful country rock, complete with full harmonies, through to hard rocking numbers, showcasing the Eagles’ trademark duelling electric guitars. The Alter Eagles, an experienced, authentic Eagles tribute band formed in 2003, will perform material from 35 years of Eagles’ performances, up to and including 2007’s Long Road Out Of Eden.

“On Saturday, November 13 it’s the turn of Money For Nothing with a Dire Straits tribute show.
