Meet The Band
Steve McOuan
Lead/Backing Vocals - Guitars
Steve started singing from a young age and was performing in musical theatre from the age of 13. He has been performing in a successful cover band for over 20 years and has played all over the UK and even enjoyed a stint as the resident band for the Edinburgh Playhouse.
Steve is a keen songwriter and has enjoyed success with his solo project which has saw him being recognised for his contribution to music in the local scene when he won the Dunfermline Press Community Award for Music 2019. He also reached the finals to play the Pilton Stage at Glastonbury in 2020
Steve is an avid Dunfermline FC supporter and back in 2006 In the light of the clubs financial issues, he penned a new Pars song. This was the first official club song since the Eastenders themed single back in 1984. The song featured the full squad, Jim Leishman and Scottish music royalty Big Country.
Steve has loved The Eagles for as long as he can remember and was lucky enough to see the band live in 2019. A massive fan of Glenn Frey's songwriting and vocal style has encouraged Steve to take on some of those big songs. Expect to hear Steve signing big belters like Lyin' Eyes, Take it Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling to name a few.

Jamie Adamson

Bonafide lead guitarist and song writer from local Scottish hero’s Moonlight Zoo. Jamie Adamson has wasted no time building a certain reputation for himself over the last few years.

co-produced his first record for singer songwriter Cameron Barnes which had great success in the country charts reaching number 1.
Jamie was asked to join ranks with The Desperado’s Gang and you can hear his insane falsetto voice come across on such hits like ‘Take It To The Limit’ and instantly recognisable playing style on ‘One Of The Nights’

Lewis Moncur
Lead Guitars - Lead/Backing Vocals
Born and bred in Dunfermline, Lewis has played guitar since starting High School whilst trying to get involved in as many gig opportunities and lessons through school as possible until finally breaking into Dunfermline's music scene.
Playing guitar and fronting multiple bands looking to reach out as far as possible. From playing school gigs to playing all over Scotland. After a lot of hard work, gigging and recording became the dream with local acclaimed band Between the Lines. Between The Lines gigged tirelessly every week and were soon playing all across Scotland and supported upcoming bands of many backgrounds and styles, whist trying to build their own following.
A love and interest for the Eagles has always been there for Lewis and he was very keen to join the Desperados fray.

John Muir Jr.
Bass Guitars
When you talk about about an accomplished musician, then you think of someone like John. An incredible guitar player in his own right with a love of all guitars including Bass.
After graduation from his Sound Engineering course John had an aspiration of playing in a band. Once he got the nod from local legends Moonlight Zoo to fill the departing Bass players shoes, he jumped at the chance.
John has an incredible eclectic music taste and loves the Eagles. A huge fan of both Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmit. Be sure to listen out for John's exceptional playing in tunes like One of These Nights.
