MICKEY FINN'S T-REX
Kev and I have had a spiffing day in Margate (well just outside) at the 70's Extravoganza held at 'Quex Park', in the grounds of what was a Stately Home and is now a Museum. Big Open Air Stage. Stalls, Fun Fair up the top end, bouncy castles and all sorts of things. Gates opened at 2:00 pm and then the music started at 5:30 pm with Graham Oliver and Paul Fenton playing a 'Jim Hendrix-syle' version of the National Anthem. We left before the end of Suzi Q's set so we could beat the rush as 1,500 plus people all try to get out of one car park (actually a field) and get out of the country lanes which take you to the main roads. The whole event was in aid of Cancer Care & other local charities. There are a couple of photos of Suzi Q plus 1 Video too. If you were in the crowd check out the photos and videos to see if you were 'captured'.

MICKEY FINN'S
T-REX
As many of you will know from elsewhere on the internet 'T-Rex - A Celebration of Marc 'n' Mickey' have reverted back to the name 'Mickey Finn's T-Rex'. This is with the blessing of Mickey's family.

Obviously there will be a delay before promoters, record companies etc can 'rebrand' things with the updated name!
We'll be off to SEE THEM LIVE at QUEX PARK, BIRCHINGTON (19th July - 2 pm - 11 pm) in aid of CANCER CARE & other local charities

GLASTONBURY PRAISE FOR MARC
On Friday Jun 06, 2008 Club Member Roy reported on the Club Forums: "There was a small pic off Marc to-day on page 49 of the sun newspaper, i think they had asked Michael Eavis the guy who owns Glastonbury what his fav moments were. And he said 'There are so many, but Marc Bolan and his band T.Rex must be mentioned first The whole gig was amazing that night in 1970-its what started it all off. Gave my heart a wee lift that did. Roy" Many Tanx for letting us know Roy :-)
In our last update we reported this and we're pleased to say that Club Member John Brooks has sent us a scan of the article - Many Tanx :-) See the Scan Here

MANY TANX
To everyone for their thoughts & kind wishes while I've been ill (including the couple of really nasty infections I picked up probably as a result of a depressed immune system. Anyhow, its wonderful to be so appreciated. But as Kev said it really was time I pressed on with some more updates.
Laser Love to All, Fee

THE SUPERSIZERS GO SEVENTIES
On Tuesday June 10, 2008 Club Member Trisha reported on the Club Forums: "Hi All, Did anyone see this programme on BBC2 earlier this evening? Anyway T Rex were well represented as background music, I missed the first 10 minutes so they may have also been on then, but Get It On came on, then 20th Century Boy, then Jeepster, Get It On again, then finally at the very end, One Inch Rock (the first time I've heard that one as background). They were only played for a few seconds, but its still nice to hear them, especially to hear them suddenly when they weren't expected! " This prog is bound to be repeated (It is part of a series of 'Supersizers Go ...' programmes so keep an eye out for it! Many Tanx Trisha :-)
