The (Illegal) Eagles soared over Buxton

Tonight’s (Friday) Illegal Eagles gig at Buxton Opera House will go down as possibly the greatest live band gig I’ve witnessed in more years than I can remember.

A packed Opera House were treated to an absolutely sensational evening of simply brilliant, highly-accomplished musicianship and just tremendous vocal harmonies – and man did the audience respond.

The band contrived to Take it to the Limit covering virtually everyone’s favourite Eagle’s numbers – and several lesser well-known ones – all of which simply blew the audience away. And the more excited the audience became the better the band seemed to get. I don’t ever recall seeing the Opera House rock so hard.

They’re returning to Buxton next February – I’d seriously suggest you book your tickets now because on the strength of tonight’s performance they’ll be sold out in a flash.

This really was One of Those Nights I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
