The following evening, on Friday 18th November, Eagles tribute band Talon will be revisiting the Eagles back catalogue of hits, from their early roots right through to their acclaimed tunes, including successes such as ‘Hotel California.’
Singer/songwriter Julia Fordham is next up, on Saturday 19th November with her ‘Live by Request’ show. In a display of audience interaction, all songs will be chosen in advance by Fordham’s fans.
Closing the weekend of live music will be Andrew Roachford, of Roachford fame. The singer, who scored success in the 80s with ‘Cuddly Toy’ will be performing songs from his latest album on Sunday 20th November.
