Two hours of totally live and amazing Glam Rock

-

T.REXTASY have been performing all over the world for 25 years, a career that ironically outlives Marc Bolan’s own T. Rex.

In 2017, the band return to venues across the UK to transport audiences back to the ’70s for the Marc Bolan 40th anniversar­y commemorat­ive tour.

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 throughout the 1970s including Telegram Sam and Jeepster, he was able to obtain what would be yet another top 20 record in 1976 that has since become one of the most memorable and everlastin­g signature tunes, I Love To Boogie.

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 exmembers of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management – T.Rextasy have been described by many as ‘‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’’.

The skilled musiciansh­ip of Danielz (vocals and lead guitar), Neil Cross (rhythm guitars, backing vocals), Rob Butterfiel­d (bass guitar, backing vocals) and John Skelton (drums) lets the timeless music and legacy of Marc Bolan and T.Rex live on, performing everything from 20th Century Boy to Children Of The Revolution and Telegraph Sam to Hot Love with superb authentici­ty.

Sweeney Entertainm­ents, co-founded by Julie and Peter Sweeney, has been providing a wide repertoire of top quality touring shows for theatre and corporate events for over 15 years both in the UK and internatio­nally.

Julie said: “T.Rextasy is a rock ’n’ roll show with a generous mix of the popular hits, a 15-minute acoustic slot, play b-sides and album tracks – this is two hours of amazing completely live Glam Rock.”

This concert showcases all of the hits and more, with both electric and acoustic performanc­es, faithfully recreating the energy and performanc­e of Marc Bolan and T.Rex. Bringing audiences to their feet across the globe, the whole family will enjoy the experience of being transporte­d back to the ’70s to live the experience of attending a Marc Bolan concert live.

T.Rextasy play Southport Theatre on Friday, September 22 at 7.30pm.
