A TRIBUTE to an iconic rock band from the 70s and beyond is coming to Witham for what promises to be a great night of classic hits.

The Alter Eagles, an experienced and authentic tribute to The Eagles, will be at the town’s Public Hall on Friday.

The hugely popular rock band from LA was one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s.

During their time, the band has achieved five number-one singles, six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards and five American Music Awards,

The Eagles today includes Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmit, Deacon Frey and Vince Gill.

The Alter Eagles were formed in 2003 and perform the whole repertoire of Eagles tracks, from tasteful country rock - complete with full harmonies - through to hard rocking numbers, showcasing the Eagles' trademark duelling electric guitars.

The current set comprises material from 35 years of Eagles' performances, up to and including 2007's Long Road Out of Eden.

Lauded for their accuracy, the Alter Eagles treat music-lovers to a typical two-hour set playing many of the band's greatest hits.

The group is made up of Steve McCormack, Alan Tomkins, Mike Bradley, Ollie Green and Rob Beattie.

A spokesman for the Witham Public Hall said: “The Alter Eagles are delighted to bring their celebration of one of the best-loved bands of all time to Witham Public Hall for the very first time.

“Now in their 21st anniversary year, the band has established themselves as one of the country's top tribute acts, headlining at theatres all over the UK.”

Attendees can expect a mix of old and new Eagles songs, including classics such as Hotel California, Take it Easy, One of These Nights, Take it to the Limit, Desperado, Lyin' Eyes and Life in the Fast Lane.

The Alter Eagles will be at the Witham Public Hall on Friday, May 31 at 7.30pm.
