Jack Shepherd fronts the world-renowned Ed Sheeran tribute show, playing all over the world since 2015. Jack recreates every song completely live using a replica loop pedal to that of the man himself. The show will be the full 'Ed Sheeran Experience' including a live band.

“On Saturday 20 May, the sounds of Marc Bolan and T-Rex will be recreated at a T-Rex Tribute Show with Telegram Sam. The song list includes Metal Guru, Hot Love, 20th Century Boy, Get It On and many more. Telegram Sam delivers an exciting show, fronted by Noel Ashton, with the whole band bringing their vast experience of performing all the hits of Marc Bolan and T-Rex.
