                                    extraordinarily like Elvis. He sings like Elvis, but most importantly, he
                                    seems to capture the very soul of Elvis. His charisma, his gestures – hell

                       Sunday 1st September
                       Marc Bolan with his band T. Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and
                       charismatic stars of the original glam rock era. With Bolan’s special
                       ingredient of rock-a-boogie songs, the band had a string of huge
                       hits throughout the 1970’s including Love to Boogie, Telegram Sam,
                       Jeepster and 20th Century Boy. T. Rextasy have now been performing
                       around the world for over 20 years in a career that ironically out lives
                       Marc’s very own T. Rex. The band is now accepted as the world’s only
                       official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan and T. Rex and the
                       only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate,
                       original ex-members of T. Rex and Bolan’s catalogue management. The
                       band has been described by many as ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’.
                       Truly a rock ‘n’ roll concert for all ages. If you would like to know exactly
                       what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970’s, this show is for you...
