WELCOME TO TAG^TM CIC's MARC BOLAN'S ROCK SHRINE AND THE BOLAN TREE - HISTORY, INFORMATION & ASSOCIATED INFORMATION

UPDATED  The Newspapers Scan of one Newspaper Headline as the world woke on the morning of the 16th September 1977 to the realisation that Rolan Bolan had lost his proud father, Sid and Phyllis Feld had lost their son, Harry his little brother and fans had lost their 'London Boy'. The only one not to know this was Marc's partner and mother to his son, Gloria Jones who was unconscious in hospital. If you have good quality large images of Newspapers from the 16^th September, 1977 and the subsequent days please Email them to us at TAG@Marc-Bolan.net

UPDATED Marc Bolan - 1977 A Pictoral Review This Gallery of Newspaper & related Articles & Clippings was provided by Michael_T. It contains an astounding record of Newspaper Articles of Marc's Death, Funeral and Posthumous Articles, plus Marc's Last Will, Death Certificate, Birth Certificate (a different version to that already onsite) together with various photos of the Mini some of which you may well not have seen and the 1978 Record Mirror Polls, Interviews with Marc's Parents & Gloria. This Gallery gives a detailed record of Marc's Death & his impact upon so many lives. WARNING: CONTAINS IMAGES OF THE MINI

UPDATED Marc Bolan's Funeral

UPDATED A Parents' Grief Interview with Marc Bolan's dad Sid Feld. It is fortunate that Marc's parents as well as his brother Harry would see Rolan again, but not for some time had passed after this was published.

UPDATED TV VIDEO CLIPS Two Clips - ITV & A Compilation of clips where people including Gloria Jones, B.P. Fallon & others talk about the events leading up to the crash.

UPDATED Vicky Aram talks about the night Marc died - Vicky Aram tells of her childhood in Stanley and mixing with Rock Royalty. Written by Liz Lamb, 18th January, 2012.

UPDATED Marc's Shrine on the 17th September 1977 This photo was taken by a local on the 17th September 1977. It has been animated to illustrate the section of 'The Bolan Tree' which was damaged by the chain-link fence as the Mini 'rode along' this fence until the Mini stopped at the Tree. It is clear to see, in person that the height of the damage is far higher than a Mini would have done, had the chain-link fence (and it's steel-reinforced concrete posts were not there). The top collage of images shows the comparative heights based two photos Fee Warner took in June 1978, one of which shows her Honda CD175. We have also included a photo of Walter Modin on his visit to Marc Bolan's Shrine in July 1979.

UPDATED JOHN & SHAN BRAMLEY Q&A SESSION. After forming TAG Fee Warner was approached by TREX Mailing List founder Alistair Laignel to take over running the Official Marc Bolan Fan Club (OMBFC) owned by John Bramley & Shan Bramley. Fee was very reluctant to get involved with them, because of their reputation within 'The Bolan Scene'. Alistair Laignel, persisted and at their own expense Kevin & Fee Warner drove to John & Shan Bramley's home in Norfolk to meet them face-to-face. Because of their 'reputation' and concerns relating to John & Shan Bramley's management of the fan club and Marc Bolan's music under their stewardship , Alistair Laignel suggested a Q&A Session was set up with the questions being collected and asked by Brian (Zac) Martin, a member of the TREX Mailing List. This took place in December 1999. To be completely impartial, neither Kevin or Fee Warner were involved in collecting questions, asking them, or transcribing the audio tapes. The transcript was published on an independent website not associated with Kevin or Fee Warner, TAG or even on the OMBFC. On the 1^st January 2000 and each Month from then until and including the 1^st May 2000 Fee updated the OMBFC website with numerous Photo Galleries, Article Scans, Songbooks and more. During those months Fee built up the Unique Visitor Numbers to the web site from 300 per month to 3,000 per month, which in early 2000 was an astounding feat! John & Shan Bramley did not pay Fee Warner any money for the literally hundreds of hours of work she put in. In addition, John & Shan Bramley did not refund Kevin & Fee Warner for their costs incurred with uploading the newely created OMBFC website, or the updates. This was when 'dial-up' was the only means of accessing the internet for all but big business. The cost was 1p per minute, 60p per hour and £6.00 for a ten-hour update, In 2024 terms that is equal to £13.13 for each of the dozens of uploading sessions and many ten-hour updates were undertaken to upload all of the web site, plus the updates. Because 'dial-up' used the telephone line, Kevin and Fee Warner were forced to have a second phone line installed at £11.99 per month, otherwise no one could phone them, because the line was constantly engaged uploading updates to the OMBFC website. Therefore the extra telephone line for the time Fee was writing the OMBFC website for the Bramleys cost in 2024 values over £130.00 in line rental. In all Kevin and Fee were out of pocket a good £400.00 to £600.00. If labour was factored in, the real total would go into the thousands. Kevin and Fee received no payment, either in money or in kind from John & Shan Bramley for any of this! Then, over the May 2000 Bank Holiday John Bramley sold the fan club with memorobilia for £20,000.00. Fee was sacked, without any 'Golden Handshake'.

UPDATED 2011 - 11th September 'HEAT' Magazine article: You will notice that TAG^TMCIC is listed as the Marc Bolan Fan Club. Updated in 2024. TAG^TM CIC has held the lease on Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine since 1999 with ownership of 'The Bolan Tree' because the terms of the lease read, "Felling and disposal of The Bolan Tree falls to TAG". An unfortunate turn-of-phrase, perhaps. Therefore since 2015 when TAG^TM was forced on Health and Safety grounds to fell 'The Bolan Tree' TAG^TM has it safely in storage. Please Note: TAG^TM CIC is NOT associated with the Marc Bolan fan club or the people who run it, although between January and May 2000 TAG^TM founder Mrs. Fee Warner did run the Marc Bolan Fan Club for John Bramley until it was sold, to the first of a plethera of owners.

UPDATED 2014 - 14^th February - The Fatal Attack on the 'Bolan Tree' at Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine. What a day to discover this! The Bolan Tree was attacked and hollowed out by a person or persons unknown. TAG has a jolly good idea of why did this and why. Sadly we don't have the evidence. TAG had bought a 'wildlife' camera which was mounted high up in a nearby tree. TAG needed a ladder to install it, but guess what? A person or persons unknown stole it and therefore took away the memory chip in the camera. Over £100 of TAG funds wasted. The 'Bolan Tree' had to be as felled on Health and Safety grounds. Well Done person or persons unknown. We have included two versions of this discovery: Video 1 contains the comments of shocked TAG Founder Fee Warner upon her discovery of this 'vandalism' which successfully murdered the 'Bolan Tree'. Video 2 is edited with the song Whatever Happened to the Teenage Dream' overlaid.

UPDATED 2018 - 13th September Photo Gallery and Video. This is why TAG is now reluctant to announce the date of 'work details' to Marc's Shrine. In 2018 TAG announced that we would be doing our main 'Work Detail' on the 13^th September ready for Marc's Anniversary on the 16^th September 2018. The very 'pointed message' from the use of this blue glitter acrylic paint is that it might be water-soluable when when, it contains plastics which make it waterproof as it sets. It does take a lot of water to wash it off. There is no water supply at Marc's Shrine making tasks like this more difficult. As you can see from the Video and the Photo Gallery, the blue glitter acrylic paint was still (generally) wet so it was removable ... for a few hours at least. Had TAG been late, or postponed the trip by 24 hours this blue glitter acrylic paint would have set and would have been impossible to remove. Therefore logic dictates that this was a 'message' to TAG which would cause as as much work as possible, and as long as we arrived in time, it would (simply) at several hours to our already busy day!

UPDATED - A NEW AND ONGOING PAGE - THE PROBLEM WITH MARC BOLAN'S ROCK SHRINE'S LOCATION - A look at the problems TAG CIC face - especially when felled trees are put across the entrance to Marc's Shrine in Gipsy Lane as they were in March 2022 making it difficult to safely access the site. The Photo Gallery from the 23rd March 2022 and Videos (both below) show how we found the site on the 23rd March 2022. TAG members cleared as much as possible to make it slightly safer, but why we are now frustratingly waiting for things to be done.

UPDATED 2022 - 23rd March 2022 Work Detail Photo Gallery
This is how we found the site and later photos show the site after we had cleaned, tidied and polished. Once again we were surprised to find Marc's Shrine, not as we expected it to be! The unprecedented high winds of up to 120 mph had brought down two trees. One of the main trunks of the conifer in the front garden of #10 Gipsy Lane and a large diseased Horse Chestnut tree next to the shrine, opposite #11 Gipsy Lane. The Horse Chestnut tree had been felled due to Health & Safety but both felled trees had been left across the access to Marc's Shrine. We cleared away as much as possible. We have contacted the authorities to find out when this will be removed. We were able to remove quite a large amount of the smaller branches from #10 Gipsy Lane's conifer, but the main trunk of the Horse Chestnut tree was impossible to do anything with!!!
