The original drummer from the band T-Rex will be coming to Ulverston’s Roxy cinema next month for a special screening of a new British film.

Alongside its director and writer Ian Puleston-Davies, Paul Fenton will attend an evening on September 20 showing new film Bolan's Shoes.

Marc Bolan was an English guitarist, singer-songwriter and poet. He was a pioneer of the glam rock movement in the early 1970s with his band T. Rex.

As described on movie database website IMDb: "The film, starring Timothy Spall, Leanne Best and Mark Lewis Jones, takes us on a tumultuous journey through the height of T. Rex mania in the 1970s Liverpool.

"It captures the heady exhilaration of glam rock mania through the experiences of a group of over-excited kids from a local children’s home before a devastating road accident changes their lives forever.

"Years later, and still clinging to the adoration of her childhood idol, survivor Penny takes her best friend and fellow Marc Bolan fan, Steffan, to visit his shrine in London, but a chance encounter there catapults her back to the horror she had tried so hard to forget.

"Light-hearted comedy and supernatural chills about in this inspirational story that explore the enduring legacy of childhood trauma and the life-affirming power of music."
