Legendary art-pop band 10cc has announced a special Oxford date on 27th October at the Oxford New Theatre. Fans can expect all 10cc’s biggest hits such as “Dreadlock Holiday”, “The Things We Do For Love”, “Rubber Bullets” and of course “I’m Not In Love” to name just a few.
The new Autumn dates follow their Spring shows which garnered exceptional reviews – “Note perfect!” proclaimed the Daily Telegraph; the Arts Desk confirming that “10cc’s songbook, full of fun and love and rage, remains blessedly the same”.
The Daily Mail’s Richard Littlejoihn told readers, “If you want the best of British popular music, beg, steal or borrow a ticket … you won’t see a better band all year.”
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).
“After the past two years, it is wonderful to be playing to packed houses and reengaging with our audiences again,” says 10cc co-founder Graham Gouldman. “We are especially looking forward to the autumn dates and covering more of the country.”
Led by Gouldman, the live band comprises Rick Fenn (lead guitar, bass, vocals), Paul Burgess (drums, percussion) – both of whom have been with 10cc since the early years – Keith Hayman (keyboards, guitars, bass, vocals) and Iain Hornal (vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboards).
The tour follows the release of a 46-track compilation album – The Things We Do For Live – 10cc, The Ultimate Hits and Beyond, which includes the classic hits, live tracks, Godley & Crème hits, a previously unreleased song and hits Gouldman wrote for other artists such as the Hollies, the Yardbirds and Herman’s Hermits, performed by his four-piece Heart Full of Songs band.
10cc have a busy schedule ahead, with tours across Europe and Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand, as well as summer festival appearances in the UK.
