Working for the Man

Bolanic Productions Ltd has been formed out of the team that brought the Born To Boogie film back to life and the team behind the 30th Anniversary Celebrations held at Shepherds Bush Empire in September 2007.  Its aim is to act as a focal point for all Marc Bolan related sites and to herald any new projects relating to Marc Bolan and his music. 

The Story so far...
Having been 'Publisher' of Marc’s Wizard Catalogue from the mid 80's, Brian Dunham joined forces with certain Bolanistas in 2002 to try and achieve commercial release of some of the best ‘live’ T. Rex performances ever filmed.  It took 3 years to achieve, but the resulting DVD of “Born to Boogie” is a testament to what Ringo Starr felt at the time, “these guys are bigger than the Beatles!"  Brian and his team managed to put T. Rex back at # 1 in the DVD charts when released in May 2005.

They then worked with Demon Records to compile a collection of TV Shows / clips etc from around the World for release in 2006. Never available in this format before the resulting DVD entitled “T. Rex on TV” was definitely worthy of a place in any Bolan Fan’s collection. This release achieved # 3  in June 2006.

Arising out of a brief conversation with Rolan whilst was in LA in February 2006 – preserving certain tracks that wound up on ‘The Final Cuts’ album – they then got together a ‘united front’ including the Official Marc Bolan Fan Club and with the backing of the PRS Members Fund, pulled together the Shepherds Bush Empire Concert in 2007 – the rest of that story is documented elsewhere on this website.

They also achieved Silver Disc status with “T. Rex Greatest Hits” in 2007 thanks to a TV Marketed package released through Universal.  In the process Brian developed an ambition to build a 'monument to Marc Bolan’ in the form of a Theatrical Show. Maybe also adding a new chapter to the Legend of MARC BOLAN!

Bolanic Productions believe that there is a powerful story in the Life, the Music, the Mischief and the Magic in Marc's own life – so they have written a Book - including figments of his imagination - such as the Wizard!

The goal has been to create a piece of musical theatre based around events in Marc Bolan’s life and featuring mainly songs written by Marc Bolan.

“Keep a little Marc in your heart!”
