about this event
The Alter Eagles are delighted to be coming back to the Cranleigh Arts Centre for a very special show, featuring their friends the Spectre Quartet. The addition of a string quartet allows the band to perform faithful renditions of some of the Eagles' most memorable ballads like Wasted Time, and The Last Resort – along with powerful solo numbers like New York Minute. They've also re-worked some Eagles' classics to incorporate a string section as a way of celebrating their 21st year of touring. Since their debut gig in 2003, the Alter Eagles have established themselves as one of the country's top tribute acts, headlining at theatres all over the country, playing a mix of old and new Eagles' songs. Expect all the classics – including Hotel California, Take It Easy, One Of These Nights, Take It To The Limit, Desperado, Lyin' Eyes and Life In The Fast Lane – as well as Henley, Frey and Walsh solo numbers like Boys of Summer, The Heat is On and Rocky Mountain Way, along with some deep cuts and plenty of sweet country harmonies and rocking twin guitars.
The band members are Steve McCormack (vocals, guitars) Alan Tomkins (keyboards, guitars, vocals) Rob Beattie (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals) Mike Bradley (guitars, vocals) and Ollie Green (drums and percussion). Find out more by visiting the band's website atwww.altereagles.co.uk.
The Spectre Quartet are Caroline Stead, Dalma Gebe, Annie Pullar and Jenny Maslin. Quartet leader Caroline says: "We've played with the Alter Eagles several times and it's always a pleasure to bring the sound of real strings to these great songs."
