Talon - 'Better Than Before' at Aspull Civic Hall

After eight years, more than one thousand theatre performances and a following of over twenty thousand fans, Talon will soon be touring their long awaited original album ‘Better Than Before’. In a one spot format, supported by their special guest artiste, they will be performing their original songs plus a few surprises at Aspull Civic Hall on Friday 9th September.

Talon, known for their top Eagles tribute shows, released their debut Country-Rock single ‘Town Called Heartbreak’, in March 2004 to critical acclaim. This initial success was the catalyst for the completion of the album and subsequent UK tour. The album features twelve self-penned tracks that cross the musical spectrum of rock, pop and country, creating the unique sound that is Talon.

“Talon’s previous shows in Wigan have proved to be very popular with audiences. It is no surprise they have moved on from performing as the Eagles to showcase their own original material. Anyone who has ever seen them perform before will tell you they are excellent musicians”, enthused Brian Yates, Leisure Venues Manager for Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust.

For those not familiar with their previous work, you can expect rich vocal harmonies and soaring guitars, resulting in a popular blend of world class musicianship and laid back humour in one truly memorable evening.

Tickets for the show cost £8.50 and are available from Wigan Tourist Information Centre (located opposite Wigan North Western Train Station) Tel. 01942 825677.
