T.Rextasy

T.Rextasy play Victoria Hall on Friday 26 March, their tribute to Marc Bolan and T. Rex. It's a rock-a-boogie set drawn from the catalogue that defined the band's 1970s hits, and you'll hear the ones that most people know: 'Get it On', 'Telegram Sam', 'Jeepster' and '20th Century Boy'. The show commemorates Bolan's death in 1977, so it's as much about the man as the music.

There's a bit of weight behind the name, too. T.Rextasy bills itself as the world's only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan and T. Rex, endorsed and approved by Bolan's family and estate, his catalogue management and original T. Rex members, including June Bolan, Gloria Jones, Rolan Bolan, Mickey Finn and producer Tony Visconti. That's a long list of names from Bolan's own circle giving it the nod.

Fronting the group is Danielz, a lead singer and lead guitarist who's a dead ringer for Bolan. He's been at this for more than 25 years, touring worldwide and playing venues like the Ariake Coliseum in Japan and Wembley Arena in London. Along the way, the band has shared stages with Wizzard, Cockney Rebel, Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople and Slade, so they've spent a good deal of time in the company of the same era of glam rock.

They describe the show as a rock'n'roll concert for all ages rather than a strict tribute, and they've earned a reputation in their own right. It starts at 7:30pm, and tickets are from £22.88.
