Legendary art rock outfit 10cc took to the iconic London music venue the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 10th May 2012 to perform to a sell out crowd eager to hear class tunes the likes of “Dreadlock Holiday”, “Rubber Bullets” and “I’m Not in Love”. First finding success in the early 1970s, the band originates from the Manchester town of Stockport. It was one of their earlier singles, the track “Donna” that had an ironic yet mainstream pop sound to it that had echoes of a Frank Zappa track. The success of this single led to popular Radio DJ Jonathan King handing the band a record deal and with this stamp of approval from the DJ, came of course with it instant airplay. From one DJ’s approval to another, the song was picked up by legendary DJ Tony Blackburn of BBC Radio 1 who championed it as his record of the week and thus helping the track reach number two in the UK charts. Their first number one came in the form of now iconic track “Rubber Bullets”. The track reached number one in the British charts but also performed well Internationally and introduced the band’s music to a wider audience. It was not until 1975 that the band found huge commercial success with them signing a record deal worth $1 million, largely thanks to their now signature tune “I’m Not in Love”, a song that has spawned many cover versions and was regarded as ground breaking for its choral vocal backing in its production. Despite their soaring success, the band cited creative differences between members and as a result band members Lol Creme and Kevin Godley left the group to pursue other musical ventures and projects. With these departures, the band still continued on as a group and it was towards the end of the 1970s that 10cc produced another chart success in the form of the reggae styled “Dreadlock Holiday”. The tune was noted for its catchy melody and the memorable line “I Don’t Like Cricket”; this is all made for another chart topping single with the track hitting the number one spot, the third and final time for the band. The band now comprising of Graham Gouldman, Rick Fenn, Mick Wilson, Keith Hayman and Paul Burgess continue to perform to the millions of fans who fell in love with their music when they first arrived on the scene in the 1970s. Performing at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday 10th May 2012, WinkBall video reporters Daniel and Oliver were down at the venue speaking to fans who had come to see the great 10cc in action and find out what had brought them down to the gig and what they love about 10cc as an artist.
