What's Gloria Jones song got to do with celebrating Marc Bolan's life. It should of been all about Marc not Gloria, she is hungry for the attention again.
It's great to hear about the other proformers who sang the T.Rex songs and thank you for telling us that went on because sadly not all Bolan fans could make it.

i was at the gig and have to say it was mind blowing, i would never have missed this for all the world. marc almond stole the show he was ace, t-rextasy were brill as all the other stars. and i have to disagree with the writer david sinclair. you must have been half asleep or maybe not a bolan fan if you didnt enjoy this once in a life time concert to one of the greatest muscians of all time. you are the only one who has gave a negative report on this event. i am a member of the fan club and on another club and everyone has raved about this show.lets not forget yes this was a memorial concert to marc bolan but it was also a charity event for the performing rights society and the nordoff robins charity.

I thought the evening was about the best tribute that could have been wished for by any true Marc Bolan fan.
T Rextasy did everything you would expect from a profesional rock band with a true love for the music of Marc Bolan.
To see T Rextasy with Tony Visconti conducting the Dirty Pretty Strings was a sight to behold for any Bolan fan I watched the show and at the point when Cosmic Dancer was being performed I thought this was pure Bolan perfection and I along with countless other fans including some from the USA this moment was very special and one that I wont forget ever.
As the review stated Marc Almond was a bright star on the stage but a mention to the fantastic voice of Linda Lewis would not go a-miss her vocals on Children of the Revolution were so powerful and suited the song to perfection.
There were lots of highlights for a true Bolan fan but just being there to witness the evening on such a special night for Marc and his family was ftruly amazing

after an excellent performance from t-rextasy, marc almond ,shakin stevens and linda lewis the rest left a lot to be desired, a bit of a shambles for something that should have been a celebration of a great mans life. we went to the rectory pub on the following day before going to the crematorium for the service of marc bolan, there was no t-rex music playing although this was meant to be an organized place to meet, good job the fans give the place a bit of emotional atmosphere. the weekend could and should have been a height of emotional pleasure as we celebrated the life of the main man, who loved to boogie, and gave us such joy.am left slightly disapointed...............the tree was mint.. well done to those who tend to marc bolans shrine.....dreamy lady

I don't see anyone claiming that Gloria wroteTainted Love.

Decent review. I agree with most of it but no metion of Shakin' Stevens. I'm no Shaky fan but his performance of Chrome Sitar with the backing singer was faultless. Yes Almond stole the show, I'm not afan of his either but he made Teenage Dream his own. T.Rextasy were slightly below par, a shame but they can do better. Maybe the occasion got the better of them? Wonderful to see Gloria Jones on satge, just a pity her son Rolan Bolan couldn't make it due to passport trouble.

The gig was fantastic. T.Rextasy are a wonderful tribute band and the perfect "house band" to the guests appearing at the show. Dr Robert was excellent. His version of "Sitting Here" was stunning. Marc Almond was fabulous, and did one of my fave Bolan songs, "Dandy In The Underworld". Clem Burke played some stomping drums, and Visconti looked fab conducting the "Dirty Pretty Strings" quartet. It was good to hear Howie Casey, who was the sax player on the original "20th Century Boy" single, amongst otheres. Andy Ellison from John's Children (Marc Bolan's first band) was his usual crazy self, and added an element of fun to the evening. My fave performer of the night was Linda Lewis, whose voice is bewitching. Her version of "Children of the Revolution" just blew me away. It was touching to see Gloria Jones come on stage and thank everyone for being there. Top marks to whoever got her to perform "Tainted Love" with Marc Almond. Gloria first covered the song in the mid 1960's.
