“The band is sounding fantastic!” says 10cc leader, Graham Gouldman. “Our main strength is the songs. Hit after hit after hit. It’s relentless. We show no mercy.”

With Dreadlock Holiday and it’s instantly recognisable chorus of “I don’t like cricket – I love it” being featured across film and television from The Social Network to The Mighty Boosh, 10cc have dominated radiowaves and pop charts since their formation in 1972.

“Year on year we get busier and busier. It’s great, we love touring and playing together and we get on really well. The audiences these days are very gratifying. You get the people you would expect, who grew up with 10cc, but you also get young kids who know the songs too,” he continues.

“Now whether they’ve discovered 10cc for themselves, via the internet or radio, or just grown up with their parents playing it in the house, I don’t know. But we get a great mix of people from the generations.”

10cc Bring British Smiles and Virtuosic Playing to Australia

10cc’s material is a thrilling blend of music hall, theatre, the beatles, the beach boys and pop-art appropriations akin to richard hamilton. .

The Tivoli, Brisbane 

Ten minutes into the opening night of 10cc’s current Australian tour, Graham Gouldman pulls out one of the most recognisable bass riffs of the 1970’s on “Art for Art’s Sake”. As the tune finishes, Gouldman points skyward and thanks his dad for providing the lyric inspiration, “art for art’s sake / Money for God’s sake” . 

It was Gouldman’s father who spotted a lone milk bottle on the step of a Manchester terrace house in the early 1960’s and suggested to a young Graham that there might be a song in it. There was. The teenager went on to write “No Milk Today” for Herman’s Hermits, “Bus Stop” for the Hollies and “For Your Love” and “Heart Full of Soul” for the Yardbirds. 

As Goldman leans into that riff, you’re struck by the fact that this man – one of Britain’s songwriting greats – has been doing this pretty much since the Beatles dropped “Please Please Me” in 1963. 

When 10cc started in Stockport in 1972, they were a band made up of four distinct musical personalities: Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. Godley & Creme jumped ship in 1976 to work further in music and then video. Stewart stayed partnered with Gouldman, officially, until 1983, followed by a long hiatus and a 1990’s reunion. 

Today Gouldman is the last man standing, fronting a band that includes veteran Paul Burgess (who’s been on 10cc’s drum stool for fifty years), guitarist Rick Fenn (who’s clocked a 46-year tenure in the touring band), Keith Hayman on piano/keys/guitar and percussion and relative newbie Ian Hornal who not only sings Stewart’s parts sublimely, but adds guitar/keys and percussion. 

Before the show starts, I’m reminded of the Ship of Theseus – the thought experiment that challenges the nature of identity and change. It poses the paradox of a ship whose parts are gradually replaced over time, so that none of the original components remain. Is the ship still the same? By the time 10cc are rolling into “Life Is a Minestrone” and “The Wall Street Shuffle”, I no longer care. 

Tonight Gouldman, who gives author credits to past members throughout, shines a light on everything from the hits and album tracks to pieces from the margins. So beautifully unique, the material is a blend of music hall, theatre/satire, the Beatles, the Beach Boys and pop-art appropriations akin to Richard Hamilton. 

Early highlights include “Feel the Benefit”, “I’m Mandy Fly Me” and “Silly Love”. To ears that don’t know the catalogue inside out – like mine – the tunes are a delicious sonic challenge. The playing is virtuosic – Hornal, singing out front, or alongside Gouldman and Fenn, is a gem. 

There are two new songs, Gouldman’s “Floating in Heaven” and Hornal’s “Say the Word”, as well as five or six stone cold classics.

As the set nears its close, there’s the perfect pop sculpture of “The Things We Do for Love”, “I’m Not in Love” and a stunning a capella of the band’s first single, and then doo-wop pastiche, “Donna”. 

The show ends with a thumping “Rubber Bullets”. The audience are on their feet. There’s no fist pumping on stage, just very wide British smiles and the acknowledgement of a job very well done. Brilliant.

10cc are heading out on 'The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour' in Spring 2024.

10cc legend Graham Gouldman had clocked up enough hits for others to put a deposit down for a house before 10cc even started. The Yardbirds ‘For Your Love’, ‘Herman’s Hermits ‘No Milk Today’ and The Hollies ‘Bus Stop’ were Graham Gouldman compositions.

When Graham Gouldman of 10cc wrote ‘Floating in Heaven’ about the James Webb Space Telescope he went to astrophysicist and Queen founder Sir Biran May to help him with it.

In an alternate universe the Graham Gouldman penned The Yardbirds classic ‘For Your Love’ could have been a Beatles song.

Recent tour reviews

Bristol Hippodrome Sunday 17th March 2019. Second time seeing the band. Brilliant musicians playing a great back catalogue. Sound quality perfect and well appreciated by an enthusiastic audience on the last night of the tour.

Report as inappropriate

A brilliant night at Birmingham Symphony Hall. Went as a trip down Memory Lane but WOW - these guys far exceeded expectations. The audience were mesmerised at their musicianship. They were very entertaining too, with a nice smattering of background to the tracks.. Highly recommended - whatever your age!

Awsome! Surreal!

Who would have thought that I'd get the chance to actually SEE the band perform? I could tell that they also enjoyed being on stage in Stockholm, making us happy. They did put on a show that felt genuine and as if it was yesterday the songs were written.

I looked around and thought: What a lot of OLD people here… Then, realizing that they are not OLD at all. We are the same age and still kickin' it! :-) I'd suggest everyone that feel the urge to see them on stage GO DO IT!

Thanks guys, I'm still smiling and singing your songs for my patients!

Gunilla, happy dental hygienist

News: 10cc confirm The Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour for March and April 2022

In recent years, 10cc have toured worldwide, playing in Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, the USA, and across Europe and throughout the UK – including sold out shows to over 60,000 people at British Summer Time (BST) in Hyde Park, and numerous sold out shows at the 5,200-capacity Royal Albert Hall.

Graham Gouldman on the 'Ultimate' 10CC tour

In typical style and with a hint of self-mocking, art pop and rock legends 10cc have announced a major city tour for spring 2024 with the title The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour, following on from their sell-out Ultimate Greatest Hits tour of 2022.

The announcement comes as the band reach the end of a five-week tour across Australia and New Zealand, with rave reviews – the longest tour they have done in the region.

The UK tour which began in Bristol and comprises 18 concerts, including a return to London’s 5,200-seat Royal Albert Hall on March 25.

As an Arts Desk review in the Daily Telegraph confirmed last year said: “Note perfect! 10cc’s songbook, full of fun and love and rage, remains blessedly the same”, while the Daily Mail’s Richard Littlejohn said, “If you want the best of British popular music, beg, steal or borrow a ticket. You won’t see a better show all year.”

Meanwhile in Australia, the band’s concerts have attracted review comments such as, “the tunes are a delicious sonic challenge, the playing is virtuosic”.

Leading the touring band, Graham Gouldman, the only one of the four founding members still performing, says: “In our formative years, it was all about the songs and it’s the same for us now. We play them with love and energy, hit after hit after hit … we show no mercy.”

Having sold over 15 million albums in the UK alone, 10cc have 11 Top 10 hits to their name, including three chart-topping singles – Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday and the ubiquitous I’m Not In Love – along with Donna (No 2), Art For Art’s Sake and Good Morning Judge (both reaching 5), The Things We Do For Love and I’m Mandy Fly Me (6), and The Wall Street Shuffle (10).

The band comprises Gouldman on bass guitars, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals; Rick Fenn – lead guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Paul Burgess – drums, percussion, keyboards (both of whom have been part f the band’s touring line-up since the seventies); Keith Hayman – keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals and Iain Hornal – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards and vocals.

Even though the band makes performing look easy, Gouldman says that there are a few places in the show that are a little stressful.

“The Dean and I is quite complex, especially the backing vocals. But it’s a joy to do,” he says.

“Also,” he continues, “it’s challenging doing the acapella version of Donna. There are some very odd key changes in that one, and there’s one particular spot where we all say a little prayer.”

Musical virtuosity and many memories will be the order of the day when 10cc take to the stage, and they will be bringing their Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits tour to Sheffield City Hall on March 16. https://www.10cc.world/events

10cc – 2022 Australian Tour – Dates to be announced

10cc will be  returning to our shores in 2022.

A night out to remember that will include all their hits that have singled them out as one of the most inventive and influential bands in popular music. Eleven Top 10 Hits including three No. 1’s and have sold 30 million albums around the world.  Hits like  I’m Not in Love,  Dreadlock Holiday, Rubber Bullets, Donna, and many more…….

“Year on year we get busier and busier. It’s great, we love touring and playing together and we get on really well. The audiences these days are very gratifying. You get the people you would expect, who grew up with 10cc, but you also get young kids who know the songs too,” says Gouldman.

10cc Australian Tour - 2020

10cc, London Palladium review - still firing rubber bullets 50 years on | reviews, news & interviews

10cc, london palladium review - still firing rubber bullets 50 years on, graham gouldman is the last man standing in his own excellent tribute band.

What a remarkable band 10cc were. For most of the 1970s they made highly unusual pop that careered without a care between bubblegum and prog. Their ease migrating across style lines from Pythonesque japes to dense seriosity lay in the personnel: four bandleaders who all brought a sensibility to a democratic collective. The wackier half of the band departed in 1976, not long after their most soaring hit, written by the more mainstream half. Godley and Creme, seemingly, were not in love with Stewart and Gouldman, whose next big hit was “The Things We Do For Love”.

Their first hit – a falsetto doo-wop pastiche called “Donna” – was in 1972. Fifty years on the band still exists, and is out on tour playing all the hits and more. To be strictly mathematical it’s really 2.5cc these days. Graham Gouldman, 76 next month, is the last frontman standing. He’s become one of the “old men of rock ‘n’ roll” fondly imagined by 10cc in their twenties in “Old Wild Men”. He does his bit centre stage like an affable professor (retd) on the Caribbean cruise lecture circuit. He performs noodling bass solos, sings his bits in a growling baritone and modestly summons up the good old days.

Not that he’s surrounded by fresh-faced newbies. Paul Burgess on drums and Rick Fenn on lead guitar have been associated with the band since the 1970s - the former wears the luxuriant mane of the period by way of authenticating rubber stamp. (Much of the audience was of a similar vintage.)

The show which reached the London Palladium last night is a moreish oddity. The songs are gorgeous, the musicianship immaculate, the stagecraft polished. Yet there is a nagging sense that 10cc have morphed into their own tribute act, a classic car with an engine full of replacement parts. Other bands have patched holes in an original line-up and carried on regardless – Fleetwood Mac, serially; Queen, flagrantly. The difference with 10cc is everyone’s still alive and, seemingly, on speakers. Kevin Godley, who left with Lol Creme to make videos, even pops up singing “Somewhere in Hollywood” on an arty black and white back projection.

There is no attempt to deny that the departed members left huge shoes to fill. When Iain Hornal, much the youngest member of the current cohort, told a story about the composition of "Life Is a Minestrone", it was like listening to an eager young museum tour guide. He had a busy time of it. As well as playing a lot of instruments (although not as many as Keith Hayman on various keyboards and guitars), Hornal has two jobs in 10cc: tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be Lol Creme and Eric Stewart. With a sweet and soaring voice he pulls off the double mimicry with great skill.

It’s not easy reproducing authentic 10cc. Songs like “Feel the Benefit” and “The Second Sitting for the Last Supper” perform weird and sudden handbrake turns. “Say the Word”, Hornal’s own pastiche of the band composed with Gouldman, ended with an off-brand crashing chord, where the old songs so often concluded elliptically. “I’m Mandy Fly Me”, an elusive enigma of a love song, faded into silence and darkness.

From near the top of a show that contained 20 songs in all, the jagged “Art for Art’s Sake” and the jiving “The Dean and I” came up absolutely box fresh. When “I’m Not In Love” eventually arrived, lushly harmonised, the band were backlit so that the absence of 7.5cc was less of an issue. Instead we had to watch the screen behind featuring two young models in what looked like a slo-mo shampoo ad. Then came “Dreadlock Holiday”, the mock-reggae megahit which has a pub band vibe about it these days. For the encore, “Donna” was rendered a cappella like a barber shop quartet, before a climactic wig-out with “Rubber Bullets”. They're not all there, but 10cc's songbook, full of fun and love and rage, remains blessedly the same.

The tour begins in Liverpool on March 25 and includes a show at the famous London Palladium.

Published on

Legendary art rockers 10cc have announced a new UK tour for March 2022, the ‘Greatest Hits’ tour, which will begin in Liverpool on March 25, and take in York, Nottingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Bath, Southend, the iconic London Palladium, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Guildford, Glasgow and Gateshead.

“It’s difficult to express just how much we have missed playing live and how much we want to be back playing concerts for you,” says funding member and band leader Graham Gouldman. “We look forward to seeing you all again in 2022.”

The current 10cc line-up features Gouldman (bass, guitar, vocals), Rick Fenn (lead guitar, bass, vocals), Paul Burgess (drums, percussion) – both of whom have been with the band since the early years – Keith Hayman (keyboards, guitars, bass, vocals) and Iain Hornal (vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboards).

From 1972 to 1978, 10cc had five consecutive UK top-ten albums : Sheet Music, The Original Soundtrack (1975), How Dare You! (1976), Deceptive Bends (1977) and Bloody Tourists (1978). They also had twelve singles reach the UK Top 40, three of which were the chart-toppers “Rubber Bullets” (1973), “I’m Not in Love” (1975) and “Dreadlock Holiday” (1978). “I’m Not in Love” was their breakthrough worldwide hit and is known for its innovative backing track.

Kevin Godley and Lol Creme quit the band in 1976 due to artistic disagreements and became a duo act. Eric Stewart left the band in 1995. Since 1999, Gouldman has led a touring version of 10cc.

In recent years, 10cc have toured worldwide, playing in Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, the USA, and across Europe and throughout the UK – including sold out shows to over 60,000 people at British Summer Time (BST) in Hyde Park, and numerous sold out shows at the 5,200-capacity Royal Albert Hall.

10cc’s ‘Greatest Hits’ UK tour includes the following 2022 dates:

March 25: Liverpool Philharmonic Hall March 26: York Barbican March 27: Nottingham Royal Concert Hall March 28: Manchester Bridgewater Hall March 30: Cardiff St David’s Hall March 31: Bath Forum April 1: Southend Cliffs Pavilion April 3: London Palladium April 4: Bournemouth Pavilion April 5: Birmingham Symphony Hall April 6: Guildford G Live April 8: Glasgow Royal Concert Hall April 9 : Gateshead Sage.

USA TOUR ANNOUNCED!

10cc announces the ultimate, ultimate greatest hits tour in the usa, first us tour in over three decades beginning july 24, 2024..

LOS ANGELES (CA) March 11, 2024 - One of the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc has announced a North American tour, The Ultimate, Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour - the band’s first in over three decades – kicking off July 24 at the Welmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey.

One of the few bands to achieve commercial, critical, and creative success, 10cc will bring their timeless music to the masses this summer with a 20-date coast to coast tour.

With more than 30 million albums sold, 10cc’s energies were not centered on image or celebrity-status, but on creating highly sophisticated rock masterworks with mainstream appeal.

“I’m Not In Love,” written by Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart and released in 1975, had a second life after being prominently featured in the soundtrack to the 2014 blockbuster film, Guardians of the Galaxy, spawning a number one soundtrack album.  Similarly, 10cc’s 1978 hit, “Dreadlock Holiday,” was a key element of the soundtrack to 2010’s The Social Network.

Founding member Gouldman attributes 10cc’s lasting appeal to the quality and individuality of the band’s songs. “They don’t seem to date. We never followed any trend we simply wrote for our own pleasure. The fact that the songs are being played as often on the radio as they ever were shows how true that is.”

The 2024 live band line-up features Graham Gouldman – bass guitars, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Rick Fenn – lead electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Paul Burgess – drums, percussion, keyboards; Iain Hornal – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, vocals; Keith Hayman – keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals.

M&G packages and VIP tickets which include premium seats and exclusive merchandise will be available during pre-sale.
