FANS will tell you that Talon is the best Eagles tribute band on the national perch.

Over the last twenty years Talon has risen from humble beginnings to become one of the most successful theatre touring shows in the UK, and now they're winging their way to The Swan, in Worcester, for not one but two performances.

A spokesman said: "Who would have thought back in September 1997, when Peter Anderson and Chris Lloyd first began the process of forming Talon, that the band would end up where it is today?

"Now in their 20th year, Talon has launched a nationwide 20th Anniversary Tour, which opened on 22nd April at Birmingham Town Hall and closes on January 27 in London’s West End at the prestigious Cadogan Hall – but not before stopping off for two nights at Worcester’s Swan Theatre this July."

The spokesman added: "The band has experienced some exhilarating highs as well as some devastating lows over the years, but their hard work over the last two decades has consistently paid off, and last summer the band was nominated in no less than seven different categories by the Agents’ Association of Great Britain at the National Tribute Music Awards, winning Official UK No. 1 (Eagles tribute show), Marketing & PR Award, Lifetime Achievement Award and the big one, Best Band (across all categories).

Talon has always taken its mission statement seriously, so much so it’s more a mantra: “Faithfully re-create the music of the Eagles with honesty, respect and reverence”.

The shows will take place on Friday, July 7 and Saturday July 8, at 7.30pm.
