In the autumn of 1997 Mickey Finn and Paul Fenton were invited to appear at a specially organised show at the Cambridge corn exchange. This was the culmination of a week of events witch had started with the unveiling of a memorial by the performing rights society to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Marc Bolan's untimely death. The show featured many musicians that had worked with Mark over the years, but when Mickey , Paul and Marc's son: Roland, appeared together the audience went wild. A decision to reform the T-Rex band was inevitable. Rehearsals were arranged and four new members were carefully chosen to complete the line up. The new band will feature all of their hits form the seventies and will recreate the unmistakable T-Rex sound.

T-Rex members: Mickey Finn, Paul Fenton, Alan Silson, Rob Benson, Dave Major and Tony Allday.

The band was originally known as Mickey Finn's T-Rex but changed their name to T.Rex (A Celebration of Marc and Mickey) in 2003 after the death of founding member Mickey Finn. In July 2008, after some British fans made a petition for them to stop using this name, the band decided to revert their name back to Mickey Finn's T-Rex, with the blessing from Mickey's family for using his name.

T. Rex (A Celebration of Marc and Mickey) is a T. Rex tribute band formed in 1997 by former T. Rex member Mickey Finn. The band was originally known as Mickey Finn's T. Rex but changed their name in 2003 after the death of founding member Mickey Finn.

In September 1997 Mickey Finn and Paul Fenton were invited to perform, along with Rolan Bolan, at the Cambridge Corn Exchange to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Marc Bolan's death. While Fenton was never an official member of T. Rex during the 1970s he did contribute drumming on many of their albums. Finn and Fenton were overwhelmed with the support for the rock band at that gig, so they decided to reform T. Rex. The original line-up of the band was Mickey Finn (Congas), Paul Fenton " Christie" (Drums) Alan Silson " Smokie" (Guitar), Dave Major (Keyboards), Tony Allday (Bass) and Rob Benson (lead vocals).

Early Touring and albums. The band's first gig was at the Martin Schleyer Halle in March 1999. Shortly afterwards they embarked on a full scale tour of Japan. In 2002 the band released an album called Renaissance and a live DVD titled Back In Business.

Mickey Finn died in January, 2003. The band decided to continue on without him and changed their name to T. Rex (A Celebration of Marc and Mickey). They also hired Graham Oliver as a second guitarist.The band continues to tour today, playing all of the classic T. Rex songs from the 1970s. The only member that had any connection to T. Rex is Paul Fenton, although he was never really an official member of the group in the '70s. Teri Sullivan joined the band on August 1 as a background vocalist.
