If you are a fan of The Eagles, then head to Preston's Guild Hall on November 3 as a top tribute to one of American's favourite exports rolls into town.

The Illegal Eagles, who have played venues as large as the Royal Albert Hall in London, will play at the venue as part of an 18-date tour.

The Best Of The Eagles greatest hits album, including tunes like Hotel California and Take It To The Limit, became the world's biggest selling album, with over 56 million sales.

Now, the Illegal Eagles, made up of Keith Atack, Jeff Green, Phil Aldridge, Ray Brown and Chris Childs, are getting themselves a reputation as a popular band playing a scorching live set as a musical tribute to the Californian band.

The band were set up in 1996 after Aldridge had attended one of the Eagles' last live tours and realised there was a need for someone to continue performing their work.

Almost ten years on and they are doing exactly that with a blockbusting album, The Path Home, and a massive fan base.

Fans are in for a treat as the band will perform some of The Eagles' greatest known hits including Desperado, Tequila Sunrise and James Dean.

The Illegal Eagles play the Guild Hall in Preston on Thursday, November 3. Tickets are £15.50 available from Preston Guildhall, Lancaster Road, Preston, or by telephoning 01772 258858.
