Dreaming of the Big Time

Tickets remain for 10cc’s show at Bendigo’s Ulumbarra Theatre this Saturday, October 31. Apparently the band got their name after UK Records founder Jonathan King had a dream about a successful band with the name 10cc, although there is an alternative theory that I am not going to tell you here. Annoying, right?
Anyway, Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme assumed the name in 1972, though they had written and recorded together prior to that. Regarded as one of the most clever and inventive bands of the 1970s, their hits include ‘I’m Not In Love’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘Donna’, ‘The Wall Street Shuffle’ and ‘The Things We Do For Love’.
