Chris Lloyd: Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Keyboards & Lead vocals
Chris, or the "Silver Fox" as he is affectionately known, has taken on the challenge of recreating Don Henley's high vocal range with a style that is very much his own. Being classically trained from the age of 14 his vocal coach washed his hands of him when he announced that Opera was out and Rock 'n' Roll was in. Expression, intonation, range and diction are all evident in the ballads and his raw power gives the rock songs the edge. When not singing lead, his voice can be heard providing the high natural vocal lines in the block harmonies. Although singing is his first love, being an ex-county tennis player has meant that sport has always been a major passion in his life. A 400 metre runner, goalkeeper (soccer), winger (rugby union) and opening batsman (cricket), plus snooker and golf. These days, however, he prefers to direct his competitive instincts into locating the country's finest curry houses.
Peter Anderson: Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Piano, Keyboards & Lead Vocals
Have you ever wondered who's hitting those low bass notes in Seven Bridges Road? That's Peter, and with his bass baritone he takes care of all the low harmony parts in the band. His rich warm tone lends itself perfectly to all the country flavoured Glenn Frey tunes. His sense of humour comes out every now and then on stage and together with Chris, the non suspecting audience can find themselves transferred to a regular Morecambe & Wise routine. Observe the pain that will shadow across the rest of the guy's faces when this happens! Off stage, Peter finds it difficult to leave anything that can be taken apart alone. His garage is an Aladdin's Cave where a BMW project has been waiting for the last 10 years. A keen golfer and winner of the Henry Cooper Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament. That he is a member of MENSA might be the reason for his immaculate guitar playing. Or maybe not!
Jonny Miller: Bass Guitar, Piano & Lead vocals
Born to make music, Jon is a rare and prodigious talent. Although he is best known as Talon's bass player he is actually a classically trained pianist. Sometimes before sound check, he entertains the crew with some Mozart or Beethoven. He also possesses an angelic voice and with his high falsetto takes care of the top harmony parts. He sings the lead on all the Timothy B Schmit and a couple of Don Henley songs. In his spare time he can be found in his workshop working on his kit car. He is blessed with a pure natural ability and the only thing that makes him human, according to Chris, is that he is completely useless at sports. He is a sight to behold on the football pitch. There is justice after all. And yes girls, he's gorgeous!
Tony Vegas: Electric & Slide Guitars & Lead Vocals
Tony sets out to impress, soaring up to the top notes with his natural voice covering both the Randy Meisner and Joe Walsh lead vocals. A formidable task indeed. A guitarist of great stature, he recreates the country style of Bernie Leadon, the jazz influence of Don Felder and the rock licks of Joe Walsh with equal portions of passion and feel. In the block harmony vocals he demonstrates his adaptability and range by covering from the bottom line to the high falsetto depending on who's singing the lead. Always game for a laugh, his wicked sense of humour keeps the crew and his fellow musicians constantly on their toes. As the self appointed fashion guru in the band you will find him roaming the shops in his spare time searching for the latest designer label bargain.
