The DANDY'S RETURN
After the peak of glam, Marc evolves into a deeper, funkier sound. From Tanx to the magnificent Dandy in the Underworld — still brilliant, still magical until the very end.
THE BIRTH OF GLAM ROCK
Marc Bolan ignited the Glam Rock revolution when he performed “Hot Love” on Top of the Pops in 1971, famously appearing with glitter beneath his eyes and changing the face of rock ‘n’ roll forever
STARS ON THEIR BROWS
The mystical folk-psych era. With Steve Peregrin Took, Marc created a unique woodland sound — acoustic bongos, poetic lyrics, and pure enchantment. From My People Were Fair… to A Beard of Stars.
MIDSUMMER
NIGHT’S SCENE
In 1967 Marc joined the wild mod band John’s Children. Explosive gigs, banned singles like “Desdemona”, and the psychedelic masterpiece “Midsummer Night’s Scene” — pure chaotic energy.
THE WIZARD AWAKENS
Before the fame, before the glitter — there was young Mark Feld, a mystical poet dreaming of stardom. In 1965 he released his first solo single “The Wizard”, laying the foundation for everything to come.
