10cc join Cheltenham Jazz Festival’s 30th anniversary

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:15:52 GMT

10cc have been confirmed for this year’s Cheltenham Jazz Festival, joining the 30th anniversary edition as one of its marquee Big Top headliners.

Cheltenham Jazz Festival, running from Wednesday 29 April to Monday 4 May 2026, has unveiled a star-studded line-up featuring 10cc alongside the likes of Jessie J, Van Morrison, Earth Wind & Fire Experience by Al McKay, Joss Stone and Nigel Kennedy. Marking three decades as one of Europe’s leading celebrations of jazz and contemporary music, the festival will once again centre on its 2,000-capacity Big Top, where 10cc are billed as one of the headline acts.

Formed in the early 1970s, 10cc are hailed as one of the UK’s most innovative and influential bands, with a catalogue that includes era-defining hits such as I’m Not in Love, The Things We Do for Love and Dreadlock Holiday. The group’s current touring incarnation is led by co-founder Graham Gouldman, and their latest run has been promoted with typically tongue‑in‑cheek branding that underlines their reputation for wit and musical invention.

Big Top spotlight for art‑pop pioneers

Festival organisers describe the 2026 programme as a blend of world-class artists, boundary-pushing jazz and genre-crossing innovators, positioning 10cc alongside contemporary stars and jazz heavyweights as part of an eclectic bill. In addition to 10cc, Big Top performances will feature Jessie J, Van Morrison, Earth Wind & Fire Experience by Al McKay, Joss Stone, the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra with special guests, Jack Savoretti, ABC, Jalen Ngonda and James Morrison.

The wider festival line-up spans leading international jazz names such as Joshua Redman, Bill Frisell and Makaya McCraven, plus UK talents including Courtney Pine, Emma-Jean Thackray, Georgia Cécile and Blue Lab Beats, consolidating Cheltenham’s role as a showcase for both established and emerging voices. Alongside the Big Top, expanded spaces like the DEYA Arena and a programme at the Parabola Arts Centre will host adventurous new work, cross‑genre collaborations and rising artists from the UK and beyond.

A milestone year for Cheltenham Jazz Festival

The 30th anniversary edition continues Cheltenham Jazz Festival’s tradition of mixing jazz with soul, pop and crossover acts to attract a broad audience. Organisers emphasise that this year’s programme is designed to celebrate the festival’s legacy while looking ahead, with a strong focus on next‑generation talent and special projects across its multiple stages.[2][3][4]

For 10cc, the Cheltenham appearance adds a prestigious festival date to their ongoing UK touring schedule, offering fans a chance to experience their classic songbook in a large‑scale festival setting. With tickets now on sale and demand expected to be high for the landmark edition, the combination of heritage acts like 10cc and cutting‑edge jazz names positions Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2026 as one of the standout events in this year’s live music calendar.

The upcoming Swedish concerts promise intimate performances that celebrate more than five decades of innovation and artistry. With a dedicated fanbase across Northern Europe, the Finnish show represents a special homecoming moment for both the band and their Nordic supporters.

10cc UK TOUR, MARCH & JULY 2026 – OPENING ARTIST

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 15:23:48 GMT

Andrew Park announced as opening act for 10cc forthcoming tour dates.

Multi-instrumentalist Andrew is the only musician in 10cc’s history to stand-in for two band members – Rick Fen and Iain Hornal - on different occasions. With Iain, it was for the band’s first US tour in more than 30 years, and then through the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2024 and most of 205.

Andrew is also a permanent member of Graham Gouldman’s Heart Full of Songs four-piece semi-acoustic band, which tours the UK again this October.

With Iain back in 10cc from his sojourn with ELO, the band asked Andrew if he would consider doing the opening spot as a soloist.

Aside from his work with 10cc and Heart Full of Songs, Andrew is a key performer with his own The Ultimate Classic Rock Show, where he plays multiple instruments and is one of the lead vocalists.

Graham Gouldman Announces Heart Full of Songs Tour for 2026

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:00:04 GMT

10cc founding member Graham Gouldman has announced an 18-date UK tour in 2026 for his highly acclaimed semi-acoustic band Heart Full of Songs.

Featuring material from across Gouldman’s catalogue, the set includes 10cc classics I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday, alongside hits such as Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window (The Hollies), ‘For Your Love’ and ‘Heart Full of Soul’ (The Yardbirds), ‘No Milk Today’ (Herman’s Hermits), Bridge To Your Heart (Wax), film soundtracks and songs from Gouldman’s his solo albums.

The tour will begin on 8 October in Stamford and end at London’s Cadogan Hall on 29 October 2026, with tickets are on sale from 10.00am on Friday 28 November, available from the venues and via www.grahamgouldman.info .

What initially started out as a vehicle for Graham to play his songs acoustically, for the pure pleasure of it and occasionally opening for 10cc concerts, quickly evolved into a stand-alone entity. These days Heart Full of Songs is an acoustic/electric four-piece - and with the 2026 tour set to be the biggest yet,

it serves to be a growing appetite by audiences to share the magic of the music with its composer.

“It is extremely gratifying to do what I love, performing the songs I’ve written or co-written over the years, to audiences who really appreciate them in a semi-acoustic format,” says Gouldman. “With Keith Hayman, Andy Park and Ben Stone we have a fantastic band that presents the songs with passion and to the highest musical standards. I couldn’t ask for more.”

Gouldman’s career took off in 1965 following what turned out to be a blessing in disguise, when record company Columbia rejected his first single composition for his band The Mockingbirds, which featured fellow 10cc founder Kevin Godley on drums. The song, For Your Love, became a huge hit for The Yardbirds.

Working by day in a men's outfitters shop and playing by night with his semi-professional band, Gouldman went on to write a string of hits for other artists, before forming 10cc in 1972 with Godley, Eric Stewart and Lol Creme. 10cc enjoyed a string of Top 10 hits, including three No 1s – ‘Rubber Bullets’, I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday – along with Donna (No 2), Art For Art’s Sake and Good Morning Judge (both reaching No 5), The Things We Do For Love and I’m Mandy Fly Me (6), and The Wall Street Shuffle (10), selling more than 30 million albums worldwide.

It’s the enduring popularity of Gouldman’s broad catalogue of work, which includes the hit Bridge To Your Heart from his time in Wax with the late Andrew Gold, and songs from film soundtracks such as Animalympics and Sunburn, that has led to the increasing numbers of people wanting to share enjoyment of the songs with the composer.

Gouldman’s reputation as one of the world’s leading songwriters was further enhanced this year when he was awarded an MBE in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours list for services to music.

Also underpinning his position were the guest contributors on Gouldman’s latest album, I Have Notes, which included Ringo Starr, Brian May, Hank Marvin an Albert Lee.

Paul Burgess steps back

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 14:08:28 GMT

10cc’s long-time drummer Paul Burgess has left the band after more than 50 years of touring worldwide with them.

His last show with 10cc was in Alexandria, Virginia, at the end of a three-week US tour. Prior to that, the band had completed a four-week tour of New Zealand and Australia. His last UK show was at The Brit Festival in Cheshire, in early July.

“When Paul and I started working together in 10cc, we never imagined in our wildest dreams that we would still be doing it even 30 years later, let alone 52,” says 10cc band leader and co-founder Graham Gouldman. “Paul is my longest-running musical associate and it will be strange to turn around and see someone else on drums, but I can fully understand his desire to withdraw from sitting on a plane for 14 hours and then changing hotel each day for several weeks."

Paul says, “Having enjoyed many years with 10cc, I'm sorry to say that for me the rigours of touring have become incommensurate with age, and it's time to put excessive hours spent waiting in airports and sitting on tour buses behind me.

“I have no intention of retiring and will continue to play, but at a more agreeable pace, working with past associates and a new band of like-minded musicians, The Guilty Men.”

Paul’s replacement in 10cc is drummer, percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Ben Stone, whose CV includes working with Mike + The Mechanics, Bonnie Tyler, Tom Jones, Semino Rossi and Helene Fischer. Ben, who has previously deputised for Paul in 10cc, joins the band for their 10-date, sell-out tour of Holland in November, followed by a UK tour of major cities in March.

Graham adds, “ We wish Paul all the very best for the future and it’s good to know he’ll still be playing.”

Paul’s message to 10cc fans, “Thank you for your loyal support and kind words over the years, and it's been a pleasure to meet and talk with many of you on numerous occasions.”

10CC ANNOUNCE 2026 TOUR

ART-ROCK PIONEERS ANNOUNCE 2026 UK TOUR.

10cc Website PRE-SALE AVAILABLE NOW!

AND ANOTHER BLOODY GREATEST HITS TOUR

One of the UK’s most innovative and influential bands, 10cc have announced their return to the UK concert scene in 2026 with the typically tongue-in-cheek ‘And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour’ — celebrating a genre-defying repertoire that continues to captivate audiences across the world.

Kicking-off in March, the 22-date tour will hit major cities nationwide, culminating in a return to London’s 5,200-seat Royal Albert Hall in July.

Fronted by co-founder Graham Gouldman, 10cc have undergone a remarkable renaissance in recent years, evolving from cult status into a mainstream concert draw that sells-out top venues from Stockholm to San Francisco and Amsterdam to Auckland and Sydney.

Expect a hit-packed setlist including era-defining anthems like ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘Donna’, ‘Art for Art’s Sake’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, and, of course, the eternal ‘I’m Not In Love’ — recently revisited by Gouldman and fellow co-founder Kevin Godley in a moving BBC Radio 2 Piano Room session, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra to mark the 50th anniversary of their classic album ‘The Original Soundtrack’.

“The tour title is not an expression of exasperation, but a humorous nod to the fact we’re out doing it again,” says Gouldman. “We’ve had the Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour, then the Ultimate Ultimate tour and couldn’t add a third. Our audiences know what to expect – hit after hit after hit, with a few variations.”

Earlier this year, Gouldman made headlines by attending his first-ever cricket match — a decades-in-the-making moment given he wrote the ultimate theme tune for the sport, “Dreadlock Holiday” (“I don’t like cricket — I love it!”). The story was picked up by the BBC and national newspapers, delighting fans worldwide.

A few weeks later, it was announced that Gouldman had been awarded an MBE for services to music in the King’s Birthday Honours List.

The band line-up comprises:

Graham Gouldman - bass guitars, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals

Rick Fenn -lead electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals

Paul Burgess - drums, percussion, keyboards

Keith Hayman -keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals

Iain Hornal -electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, vocals

10cc continues their Ultimate Ultimate Greatest hits tour beginning august 27 in Napa, California, USA

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 16:42:54 GMT

CELEBRATING THE 50 ^th ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR ICONIC HIT “I’M NOT IN LOVE”

LOS ANGELES (CA) April 15, 2025 - One of the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc will be returning to the US to continue The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour, kicking off August 27 in Napa, California.

Following a highly successful run of shows last summer, the band will take The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour to another 17 cities. After the LA concert last year, music industry critic and analyst Bob Lefsetz said, “The show was over and I wanted to see it again. I wanted to concentrate on what I missed, I wanted to luxuriate in this music once more, I wanted the high to continue.”

With more than 30 million albums sold, one of the few bands to achieve commercial, critical and creative success, will perform a set of almost two hours, featuring timeless hits such as “I’m Not In Love” – celebrating its 50 ^th anniversary this year, “The Things We Do For Love” and “Rubbert Bullets”.

Written by Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart and released in 1975, “I’m Not In Love” was 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.

“After not having toured the US for more than three decades, last year’s tour was a remarkable experience,” says Gouldman. “We’re used to our regular audiences across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, but the reaction of the American audiences took us completely by surprise – it was incredible. We are really looking forward to our return and playing new venues this year.”

The 2025 live band line-up features Gouldman – bass guitars, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Rick Fenn – lead electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Paul Burgess – drums, percussion, keyboards; Keith Hayman – keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals; and Andy Park – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, vocals.

10cc – The “Best” band in the world! New Article!

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 13:13:50 GMT

New article about 10cc from Gary Frenay

Gary is a singer/songwriter and founding member of the Syracuse, NY-based bands The Flashcubes, Screen Test, The Neverly Brothers and The FabCats. I am also a freelance writer with a degree in magazine journalism from the Newhouse School of Journalism at Syracuse University.

The years tick away and so many of the artists I’ve followed and loved throughout my life are either gone (David Crosby, Christine McVie, Mike Nesmith, Emitt Rhodes, David Bowie, Burt Bacharach, the list grows longer by the day) or are now retiring from live performance (Brian Wilson, Rod Argent, Peter Frampton, Jeff Lynne, to name just a few).

It is with that in mind that I make the effort to travel – sometimes at great distances – to see artists I’ve never seen before (and to see some select favorites one last time). That brings me to 10cc. ...

GRAHAM GOULDMAN ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM ‘I HAVE NOTES’ RELEASED 5th JULY ON LOJINX

ac@lojinx.com — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:35:12 GMT

ALBUM FEATURES COLLABORATIONS WITH BRIAN MAY, RINGO STARR, HANK MARVIN, ALBERT LEE & MORE.

LISTEN TO FIRST SINGLE ‘WE’RE ALIVE’ USING THE LINK BELOW.

ANNOUNCES ALBUM LAUNCH SHOWS, LONDON 1 & 2 JULY!

TICKETS AVAILABLE BELOW.

Not many musicians can call upon Britain's all-time greatest guitar players and the world's best known drummer to contribute to their side-gig solo album.

But legendary singer, songwriter and keeper of the 10cc flame Graham Gouldman has made a few pioneering friends over the course of his 60 year career. Brian May, Hank Marvin, Albert Lee and Ringo Starr, among others, have all contributed to Gouldman's forthcoming 6th solo album, ‘I Have Notes’, released 5th July on British independent record label Lojinx.

Graham has also announced two special one-off album launch shows on 1st and 2nd July at Pizza Express Live in Holborn, which will see him debut songs from ‘I Have Notes’, along with favourites from across his incredible career. Tickets available HERE

First single ‘We’re Alive’, which is out now and available to listen to HERE, displays an Americana tone, co-written with Nashville-based singer/songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman (Bette Midler, Trisha Yearwood, Neil Diamond) and songwriter/guitarist Gordon Kennedy (Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Garth Brooks).

"I wrote this song in Nashville last year with Beth Nielsen Chapman and Gordon Kennedy. Both of whom I’ve worked with before. I just started playing this opening riff, there's some nodding going on, it sounded quite exuberant and so the theme had to be something life affirming. Beth came up with the "We're Alive" title, and then we finished off the song really quickly together.

There are certain references, which I love, that are kind of interesting. "Pull back the sofa, wind up the gramophone". You know who's got a gramophone? Nobody!

It's always a real joy to work with Beth and Gordon and I think it shows in the song because it's full of life." says Gouldman.

The song was tracked with the writers between London and Nashville, with Dan Needham (Michael McDonald, Billy Preston, Amy Grant) on drums, and produced by Graham Gouldman and Graeme Pleeth.

‘I Have Notes’ has a broad palette of musical styles and textures, reflecting the diverse nature of Gouldman’s catalogue. From the “I’m Not In Love” choral opening of literal space-ballad ‘Floating In Heaven’ (with Brian May), through the endearing romantic waltz of ‘When You Find Love’ (featuring Hank Marvin). The album also features the exuberant childish joy of ‘Play Me’, the cheeky festive swing of ‘Christmas Affair’ (featuring Beth Nielsen Chapman) to the Side A closer, the unashamed Beatle-inspired ‘Couldn’t Love You More’ (featuring Ringo Starr).

Side B kicks off with the overtly poppy ‘It’s Time For Me To Go’, followed by the country-tinged ‘Don’t Tell Lies’. The long-lost 10cc-era confessional ‘I’m Lazy’ leads into the instrumental palette cleanse of ‘Celestial Light’, followed by a return to country twang with ‘Say You Love Me Tonight (featuring Albert Lee). The album closes with a rocking live performance of ‘Heart Full Of Soul’, featuring an all-star band - Brian May & Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal on guitar, Derek Sherinian on keyboards, Ric Fierabracci on bass and Simon Phillips on drums.

Having worked with the late Storm Thorgerson, of Hypnosis, for many 10cc covers over the years, Gouldman has continued the collaboration through Peter Curzon at StormStudios for the ‘I Have Notes’ cover:

“The cover art works beautifully, I think”, enthuses Gouldman. “You may understand it, you may not. But you know something interesting is happening.”

From his early 1960s songwriting hits (‘Bus Stop’, ‘For Your Love’, ‘Heart Full of Soul’) to global success with 10cc's classics (‘I'm Not in Love’, ‘The Things We Do for Love’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’) the enduring popularity of Graham's songs reflect his significant contributions to the history of pop music. Graham’s songwriting status was acknowledged in 2014 with his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Graham’s work with 10cc continues to endure in the build up to next year’s 50th anniversary of the band’s iconic album ‘The Original Soundtrack’, having recently completed a UK wide tour, which included a sold out Royal Albert Hall show (The Mail on Sunday commented ‘It feels as if their time has come again’ in their 5* review). 10cc have also announced a further Autumn UK tour; and announced their first major US tour in over three decades.

Graham Gouldman's new album ‘I Have Notes’ will be released on vinyl LP, CD & digital on 5th July 2024 on British indie label Lojinx.

10cc ANNOUNCE THE ULTIMATE ULTIMATE GREATEST HITS TOUR CONTINUED

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 11:21:12 GMT

Tickets on-sale: Friday 22 ^nd March at ticketline.co.uk and venue box offices

Art pop and rock icons 10cc, have announced the addition of a further 25 concerts to their The Ultimate Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour for Autumn 2024.

Considered one of the UK’s premier live touring bands, the extra shows come off the back of the band’s most successful UK tour to date, with 18 concerts through March, including an advance sell-out at London’s 5,200-seat Royal Albert Hall.

Having also recently announced an extensive US tour, their first in more than three decades, playing venues such as the Majestic Theater in Dallas, Theater at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles and Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, 10cc’s classic ballad I’m Not In Love, which reached No 2 in the Billboard charts, being included in the soundtrack for Disney’s blockbuster film Guardians of the Galaxy has certainly help raise interest there.

Known for their impeccable live performances, their catalogue of hits sees the band seamlessly transition from art-pop to mock-reggae and impressively harmonised ballads, to prog rock epics Somewhere In Hollywood and Feel The Benefit.

Three of their 11 UK Top 10 hits reached No 1– Rubber Bullets, I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday – and made the charts worldwide, which explains the band’s extensive touring schedule which has taken them Australia and New Zealand, Japan, Iceland, Latvia and from Scandinavia down through mainland Europe.

At the helm is 10cc founding co-member Graham Gouldman, who says,

“What is particularly satisfying is seeing our audience demographic changing with more and more younger people coming to our gigs. The shows in March have been our most successful in the UK and that is very gratifying, as we are only doing what we love – playing the music of 10cc.”

The band line-up 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; Keith Hayman - keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals and Andy Park - electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, vocals.

USA TOUR ANNOUNCED!

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 15:05:57 GMT

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.

10cc MARCH TOUR - VENUE CLOSURES

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 12:25:23 GMT

RAAC concerns close venues!

Unfortunately, concerns over the reliability of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), which made headlines when a number of schools closed or faced resulted use, have spread to theatres and concert venues.

As a result, several have closed while remedial works are undertaken. Events have been cancelled, ticket money refunded and at least one venue expects to be closed for a year.

Our March 2024 tour has so far had the concert at Carlisle’s Sands Centre replaced by the Easterbrook Hall in Dumfries, while we have yet to find a venue to replace the concert lost by the closure of St David’s Hall in Cardiff.

We feel for all those of you who have had enforced refunds and hope you can find another concert on the tour that suits. For Cardiff ticket holders, there are still a few tickets left at the Swansea and Bristol shows, if you want to make the journey.

Let’s hope these are the only ones affected.

Pop icons announce tour, including a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 14:51:40 GMT

Tickets on sale NOW! from ticketmaster.co.uk

In typical style and with a hint of self-mocking, art pop and rock legends 10cc announce 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 begins in Bristol on 7 March and comprises 18 concerts, including a return to London’s 5,200-seat Royal Albert Hall on 25 March.

As a Daily Telegraph confirmed last year, “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 eleven Top 10 hits to their name, including three No 1 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; Keith Hayman - keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals and Iain Hornal - electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards and vocals.

Before the UK tour in Spring, 10cc will head to Europe this Autumn for a 17-date tour across Holland, Belgium and Germany.

When 10cc played Sweden’s prestigious Konserthuset in Stockholm earlier this year, they met ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaerus. He was in the audience and came backstage after the show to congratulate the band. As a result, Gouldman has agreed to join Ulvaerus on stage to talk about song-writing at a festival he runs in Sweden in July.

It was Andrew Campbell, the boss of Graham's record label Lojinx, who suggested sending a new song, Floating In Heaven, to Brian May of Queen.

Graham had written it at a crucial time in the history of space exploration and was inspired by what the latest breakthrough was about to reveal.

Brian, who has a passion for astronomy and a PhD in astrophysics, immediately saw the relevance of the song and the pair worked together to release Floating In Heaven as a single to mark the unveiling to the world of the first astonishing images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on 12 July.

The song was used as the backing track for a video if images released by The Space Telescope Science Institute and Graham and Brian performed it live with an orchestra at the sixth Starmus convention, held on 5-10 September 2922 in Yerevan, Armenia, along with several of Graham's established hit songs.

10cc PARTNER WITH ON AIR TO STREAM THEIR ‘ULTIMATE GREATEST HITS TOUR 2022’

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 15:09:04 GMT

Filmed at The New Theatre, Oxford, the show is available to stream from 1st December

Among the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music, 10cc are one of the very few acts to have achieved commercial, critical, and creative success in equal measure.

Throughout September and October 2022 10cc toured the ‘Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour’ to sold out audiences across the UK. On Thursday 27th October On Air were in attendance at The New Theatre, Oxford to capture the full 19 song set, filled with hits from across their 50 year career.

Recorded in 4K UHD Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos technologies, the show will be available to watch from 7pm on December 1st, after which it will be available to re-watch an unlimited number of times On Demand for 2 years. Tickets are available now – https://onair.events/10cc-the-ultimate-greatest-hits-tour

With 11 top-10 singles, including 3 no.1’s – ‘I’m Not In Love’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ & ‘Rubber Bullets’ – and more than 30 million albums sold around the world, 10cc can count a generation straddling array of fellow artists, from Axl Rose to Sophie Ellis Bextor and Chrissie Hynde to The Feeling’s Dan Gillespie among their millions of fans.

Talking about the show, founding member Graham explains “There could not be a better time to film the band, it’s been a fantastic tour, sold out theatres and we have never sounded better. We show no mercy, hit after hit after hit, plus a couple of new tracks, video contributions from Kevin Godley and a special version of 10cc’s first single Donna as an encore. Whether or not you got to see us on tour, sit down, turn-up the volume and enjoy.”

Lead by Graham Gouldman, ‘The Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour’ live band featured 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) and Keith Hayman (keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals). Paul has worked with 10cc from the very beginning, and Rick joined the live band in the mid-1970s.

As part of their ongoing partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit charity on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees, On Air will be planting one tree for every ticket purchased from their website for the 10cc ‘The Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour’ show.

Scandinavia, February 2023

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:49:30 GMT

The band’s four arena concerts – two in Sweden and two in Denmark – with Toto last August, arranged by Pernille Pedersen at All Things Live, 10cc’s new national promoter in Denmark – certainly helped boost ticket sales for the concerts in February.

In Copenhagen, where 10cc played the 7.500-capacity Royal Arena with Toto, tickets for the show at DR Koncertsalen (15 Feb) – the most prestigious venue the band has headlined in the city – sold out so quickly that a second Copenhagen date had to be added, at Amager Bio (20 Feb).

In Sweden – where the band also played the 50,000-capacity Sweden Rock Festival in June – a second night had to be added at Lorensbergsteatern (7-8 Feb) in Gothenburg, another beneficiary of the arena dates with Toto.

Another headlining first, the band will be playing the prestigious Konserthuset (12 Feb) in Stockholm, promoted by Johan Karisson at Live Nation Sweden.

The Scandinavian tour starts with a concert at Norway’s Oslo Konserthus, the second time 10cc has played the venue, each time promoted by Rune Lem at Live Nation Norway.

Australia, June-July 2023

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 12:00:16 GMT

More than doubling in size from the February-March 2020 tour, our new national promoter David Williams or David Roy Williams Presents has also significantly upgraded many of the concerts, with one of the highlights being the 2,50-seat Darling Harbour Theatre in Sydney.

David says, “My love for 10cc really started with The Original Soundtrack album. 10cc had everything - brilliant melodies, smart lyrics, fabulous harmonies, surreal diversions… so much crammed into every song - music that was totally fearless.

“I bought How Dare You on the day of release and had my mind blown even further into the stratosphere. Art For Art’s Sake, I’m Mandy Fly Me, Rock n Roll Lullaby, Iceberg, Don’t Hang Up … I was hooked.

“So when the opportunity to work with the band arose I leapt forward without taking a second to think about it.

“These really will be The Ultimate Greatest Hits concerts – chock full of classic 10cc songs.”

Highpoints in 2022

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 11:42:37 GMT

10cc had another good year of touring with increasing ticket sales, alongside special events.

The Spring and Autumn UK tours were our best yet and return dates are already being planned for 2024.

Among other highlights were welcome returns to three of our favourite festivals – Sweden Rock, and the UK’s Wickham Festival in Hampshire and Weyfest in Surrey, along with the four arena dates with Toto in Denmark and Sweden. The summer came to an end with four sold-out concerts in Ireland, the second Dublin one being added after the first quickly sold-out.

Gouldman, Stewart, Goodley and Creme. Four Manc lads who came together and created one of the greatest rock bands the world has ever seen. They birthed Strawberry Studios in Stockport, where massive songs including Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart were recorded. 10cc ruled the 70s from their debut album in ‘73, with three of its four singles getting into the top 10. To their critically acclaimed album The Orginal Soundtrack which features their (and ours) top hit, I’m Not In Love.

When Graham joined Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band

Sun, 17 Dec 2017 20:40:00 GMT

in 2018 Graham Gouldman accepted an invitation to join Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band for a tour of Europe in the summer.

Ringo has kept the same band line-up for several years, but wanted a change for the next tour and approached Graham with the idea of him joining.

The All Starr Band also features Steve Lukather of Toto, Gregg Rolie of Santana, Men At Work’s Colin Hay, Warren Ham (whose credits include working with Toto, Donna Summer and Olivia Newton-John) and Gregg Bissonette (Santana, Toto and ELO).

“I didn’t need to think about it,” says Graham. “As I’ve said before, without the Beatles there wouldn’t have been a 10cc, so to be asked to join Ringo’s band was a huge honour and very exciting. It was also a great pleasure to play alongside such esteemed musicians as Steve, Warren and the others.”

The 21-date tour ttook the band to Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Israel and Italy.
