T.REXTASY
Congress Theatre, Eastbourne
Friday 23 August 8pm
Dig out the bright colours and bell-bottoms, the Congress Theatre is going back to the good old 1970s for one-night only as T.Rextasy pay tribute to Marc Bolan and his band T.Rex this 23 August.
Marc Bolan 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 T.Rex band had a string of huge hits throughout the 1970s including Love to Boogie, Telegram Sam, Jeepster, Children of the Revolution and 20th Century Boy to name but a few.
T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over 25 years, 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 & 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’.
The skilled musicianship of Danielz (Vocals & 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.
Danielz said “I absolutely love playing the songs of T.Rex. It’s the actual buzz one gets of going on stage and giving the audience a live experience. Fans are coming to have a good time and when I see people smiling and doing just that it makes it really worthwhile.”
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 1970s, this show is for you!
