Lyin’ Eyes. One of These Nights. New Kid in Town. Take It to the Limit. Tequila Sunrise. Life in the Fast Lane. Peaceful Easy Feeling.

Quite a list, really.

The excellent Bootleg Eagles bring these and plenty more to Redhills, Durham - one of the North East’s most remarkable rooms - on Friday 12 February.

Five great musicians. Harmonies to die for. And one of the best songbooks in popular music.
