10cc
10cc are an English art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians -- Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme -- who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the "10cc" name in 1972.
Now in 2011, Gouldman leads 10cc through their next 33-date UK headline tour, followed by eight shows in Holland, concerts in Germany and Israel, a host of summer festivals across Europe and a Scandinavian tour in the autumn. Says Gouldman, “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. “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. “Also the band, as it stands now is absolutely fantastic. And of course our main strength and what we’re selling is the songs, nothing else.” It was ever thus. As he adds, “This is as near as you’re ever going to get to hearing the perfect 10cc. Hit after hit after hit. It’s relentless. We show no mercy.”
The live band’s line-up is: Graham Gouldman - bass, guitars, vocals
Rick Fenn - lead guitar, vocals, bass
Paul Burgess - drums, percussion
Mick Wilson - vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboards
Keith Hayman - keyboards, guitar, bass, vocals
