10cc will be rolling out the hits for their fans in the Midlands
THE band 10cc are set to perform in the Midlands this month as part of their UK tour, performing the hits that have singled them out as one of the most inventive and influential bands in the history of popular music.
Led by co-founder Graham Gouldman, the art-pop band are heralded in equal measure for their ability to craft ingenious songs that also resonated commercially, with 11 Top 10 hits, and more than 15 million albums sold in the UK alone.
Last summer, Gouldman joined Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band for a series of shows across Europe and North America.
The band have achieved three No 1 singles – Rubber Bullets, Dreadlock Holiday and of course, I’m Not In Love, which features prominently in the soundtrack to the film Guardians of the Galaxy, which spawned a No 1 album in the United States.
The 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 mid-70s – Keith Hayman (keyboards, guitars, bass, vocals) and Paul Canning (vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboards).
Since the most recent live version of the band has been established, 10cc have toured worldwide, including in Australia, Ireland Japan, New Zealand, across the UK and Europe, at London’s 65,000-capacity British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park, and selling out the Royal Albert Hall.
2019 is set to be another sensational year as the band take their live show back on the road, performing their timeless hits and more, and always with a surprise or two.
The band will perform at Leicester De Montfort Hall on Tuesday, April 30, and tickets are available from Ticketline.co.uk or via the box office by calling 0116 233 3111.
