Sailing from Dover on the 21st June 2012, for three nights, and taking in the sights of Antwerp and Amsterdam, Talon have exclusive use of Fred Olsen’s beautiful Black Watch to celebrate 15 years. With still over five months to go before we set sail we are down to the last few cabins available! Those of you who attended our 10th Anniversary celebrations at Alvaston Hall will know only to well that to top that amazing weekend was never going to be easy. However, we believe that we have come up with the perfect way to celebrate fifteen years of Talon. Hope to see you there.

Happy new year to you all and we hope you had a fantastic Christmas. Issue #28 of Talon Talk will be going out soon and the boys are currently hard at work in the recording studio putting the finishing touches to the brand new forthcoming 15th Anniversary Album. The spring tour opens with our new Best Of Eagles show on the 10th February at the beautiful Buxton Opera House, with Acoustic Collection gigs to look forward to in the early part of the year beginning with the Banbury Mill on the 3rd February. Phase 1 of the new Best Of Eagles show then continues on the 16th March at the Palace Theatre, Newark and goes right through to the end of June with the climax of the 15th Anniversary Cruise. As you know, we change the show content at the beginning of every year and songs currently being discussed for a comeback are ‘The Last Resort’, ‘Long Road Out Of Eden’, ‘Sad Cafe’, ‘How Long’, ‘Witchy Woman’ and ‘Seven Bridges Road’. 2011 was our re-launch year and we honestly feel that we have now moved Talon to another level and it is so rewarding to know that all the hard work is reaping its rewards and we are so very aware of just how lucky we are. Following the success of the Horn Section in 2011 we can look forward to seeing more of them this year and last years investment into the upgraded PA system plus the arrival of new sound engineer Charlie Thorley were massive factors in our big leap forward. The summer will once again see Talon play several open air venues including the now annual event and eagerly anticipated Conkers Amphitheatre in South Derbyshire on the 18th August and this year Talon will be supported by ‘And Finally…Phil Collins’. Some of you will be aware that this new production has been taken under the wing of Talon Music Ltd and we are confident that with the Talon work ethic and a fair wind it will both evolve and flourish. Phase 2 of the 15th Anniversary Tour opens with a welcome return to the superb Coventry Belgrade Theatre on the 2nd October and this year, with only a short break for the Christmas holidays, the autumn tour will go right through to the end of January 2013 to celebrate fifteen years since the very first Talon gig. The 15th Anniversary Show has been confirmed for Saturday 26th January 2013 at the prestigious Birmingham Town Hall and details of this special evening will be announced shortly. Well that’s our overall plan for the next twelve months and we hope to see old friends and new on the road somewhere soon as we embark on the latest chapter of our amazing adventure. |
