A show that’s so much fun, it might be illegal

THE Illegal Eagles fly into the New Victoria Theatre, Woking, for one night only on Friday July 1.

Celebrating 50 years since the formation of the legendary West Coast country rock band The Eagles in 1971, The Illegal Eagles return to Woking on the for another outstanding show promising more of their trademark musical prowess, acute attention to detail and incredible showmanship.

This critically acclaimed show features the very best from the Eagles’ catalogue of classics including Hotel California, Desperado, Take It Easy, New Kid In Town, Life In The Fast Lane and many more.

The latest all-star line-up, produced as ever by Phil Aldridge, features Tony Kiley (The Blow Monkeys) on drums, Bafta Awardwinner Christian Phillips on vocals and guitars, Trevor Newnham (Dr Hook) vocals and bass, Greg Webb vocals and guitars, Mike Baker, vocals and guitars and Garreth Hicklin, vocals and guitars.

They effortlessly capture the vocal style and delivery of Henley, Walsh, Fry, Schmidt and Meisner and are masters of their respective instruments. The power-house rhythm section of Kiley and Newnham has added a dimension that is sensitive to the subtle needs of the Eagles’ songs and kicks hard where necessary.

The Eagles themselves were formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by Glenn Frey and Don Henley. With five number-one singles, six number one albums, six Grammy awards and five American Music awards, they were one of the most successful musical acts in the 1970s and have since gone on to be one of the world’s best-selling bands, selling more than 200 million records.

Their incredible songbook lives on in The Illegal Eagles, in a memorable evening featuring over two hours of classic country rock hits.
