December 16

Season’s greetings from the staff of the Official 10cc Fan Club Website…

 

We bring you three more demo/backing tracks deep from within the 10cc vaults… from back when 10cc was just a four piece with “added Paul “ for the tours. Yes it’s time to bring you Voodoo Boogie, recorded just before the split. Three offering again, one for each of the front page strawberries. Enjoy them and we’ll see you all in 2008.

December 12

We have been asked to publish the following message from Eric Stewart…

 

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the guys, and the girls of course, involved in the 10cc fan Club, especially Roy and Dave, for their help in promoting the history of 10cc this year.

 

I am now watching incredible videos on YouTube that I have never seen and didn't even know existed. Please keep 'em coming if you have any more! It has given me a big kick to re-live some of the more important moments in our past and it confirms our belief that the original 10cc were a really serious influence on the Rock market.

 

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my new studio in France, and I plan to have my next studio project finished and released in 2008.

Gilly and I are still trying to figure the best way to get the album to the people out there, CDs, Internet Downloads...........We'll see !!

Thank you, and have a great 2008. 

Eric. France December 2007.

 

 

December 2

Just to let you know that from today, for the next seven days, we are bringing you another three parts of “24 Hours” on the front page strawberries.

 

A little information about the next offering, which will be in two weeks time… it started life as a track featuring Eric, Lol, Kevin and Graham with a working title of “Voodoo Boogie”. It was recorded not too long before Kevin and Lol decided that they were going to leave 10cc to go and record their “Consequences” triple album.

So… Eric and Graham carried on as 10cc, and released the “Deceptive Bends” LP, which featured a different version of “Voodoo Boogie”, but this time it was called… “People In Love” (coming soon to a fan-club front page near you on the 16th of December)

 

November 25

The front page recordings available from today are only small files, so that’s why there are three of them. EACH STRAWBERRY will give you a separate part of a single taken from the Windows In The Jungle album. Yes folks, we’re talking “24 Hours”. There will be another three parts following on from these next weekend.

 

Do please email Roy and Dave your comments on these tracks we’ve been bringing you, we’d love to hear what you think of them.

 

And yes, we do have “a lot more goodies in the pipeline

November 21

The next archive offering is once again a backing track. This time it’s “Only Child” which was the B-side to ”One Two Five”. Once again, just click on the strawberries on the front page.

Don’t worry if you missed “I’m So Laid Back, I’m Laid Out” first time around, it may well get a summer airing next year.

November 18

In a world exclusive, the Strawberry Studio archives have been opened up to us here at the10ccfanclub.com. With full permission from Eric and Graham, we are making some very rare backing tracks and demo recordings available to you, the fans, for a very limited period.

The very first offering is “I’m So Laid Back, I’m Laid Out”, the B-side to ”People In Love Just click on the strawberries on the front page.

She has videos from as early on as 1974 including really rare stuff such as the vid’s for “We’ve Heard It All Before” and “It Doesn’t Matter At All”. As well as bringing you songs from various concerts through the decades, there is even the chance to see Eric and Graham wearing shorts while appearing on a Saturday morning kids show on the BBC.

Music Legends Godley and Gouldman

Release New Song For Download

GG06 Featuring Legendary 10cc Members Record New Track – Barry's Shoes


10/24/07 - London – 10cc/Godley & Creme legends Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman, under the guise of GG06, have recorded and released their sixth new track “Barry's Shoes” now available for download from the duo's official website www.gg06.co.uk. In 2006, for the first time in over three decades original 10cc members Godley and Gouldman reunited to record new music. Best known for such classic 10cc hits as "Rubber Bullets", "I'm Not In Love" and "Things We Do For Love", as well as Godley and Creme's mega-hit "Cry", last year Godley and Gouldman recorded five new download-only songs which have garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike worldwide!

Kevin Godley, former half of the pioneering duo Godley and Creme, who has also directed and produced some of the most successful music videos in rock and roll for such artists as Duran Duran, U2, Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock, Rod Stewart, Keane, Paul McCartney and The Police to name just a few, graces all six tracks with his tremendous voice - arguably one of the great vocalists in music today. "I always figured Kevin had the best voice in the band", complements Gouldman, "ironic that he never sang lead on a 10cc single… Even I managed that. Now justice has been done. Kevin's voice and razor sharp lyrics take us places we haven't visited before… Always a good place to start!"

Graham Gouldman, a prolific songwriter since 1965 before joining 10cc penned such classic songs as "For Your Love", "Heart Full Of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You" for The Yardbirds, as well as "Look Through Any Window" and "Bus Stop" for The Hollies and "No Milk Today", "Listen People" and "East West" for Herman's Hermits. He has also worked with the likes of Andrew Gold and The Ramones."It was exhilarating to hear a haunting Graham Gouldman chord sequence", says Godley about their recent collaboration, "wrap some words around it and feel something actually come to life, in real time, again. These first five tracks are pretty lean by our previous standards. They're more heartfelt, focused, less layered and lyrically they're tougher." This past summer Graham Gouldman toured Europe with his version of 10cc. To the surprise of concert attendees, Kevin Godley made a guest appearance at two UK gigs in which he sang on a couple songs.

The much anticipated new song “Barry's Shoes” is sure to please fans of GG06 with its melodic twists and turns and Godley's engrossing lyrics. And just who is Barry anyway? "Manchester 1963, Like every kid in my street I'm trapped in the synagogue slowly turning into my Father," Kevin explains, "waiting for a sign that says there's more to life than the family business. Enter Barry wearing the Devil's shoes... "

Here's what's being said about the new GG06 songs:

“The first thing that has to be remarked upon is Kevin Godley 's voice. Saying that it's in good shape after 40 years in the music industry is an understatement. I think he's one of the best singers that the music world has seen, and this set of songs really show it off!” - Random Brainwaves

“Now with Gouldman being a legendary songwriter in the sixties, this was always likely to be a melodic treat. And it is. Despite the years, he and Godley seem to bring out the best in each other, with Godley adding a bit of an edge and Gouldman smoothing the rougher edges away. But it's a much bleaker world they inhabit nowadays with tales of workplace ennui, rape, lost youth and bullying. Not a cheery place. But, despite the passing of time, Godley and Gouldman haven't forgotten how to write a hook, and it's to their credit that you still feel drawn to the material, regardless of the subject matter.” - Zeitgeist

Why a reunion now after so many years? "In a nutshell… unfinished business," explains Godley. "In all the years we've known each other we've only written three pure, Godley/Gouldman songs. That, and a desire to find out if the music muscle still worked with someone I enjoyed and didn't have to spend weeks getting to know." Upon listening to the duo's new work unquestionably the spark is still there, picking up where they left off in 1976 but with a newly found, contemporary edge. Says Gouldman, "Kevin and I have always stayed in touch even though we haven't actually worked together for many years, so I was delighted when he called to suggest we write some songs. When I asked 'Why?' He said, 'No reason… just to do it and see what happens.' A good enough reason for me!"

“It's been rewarding so far,” concludes Godley. “Graham gives me a lot of room to maneuver and I get to take him places he wouldn't normally go. Maybe it's the way online music works but I don't think in album terms any more. GG06 is more like a gallery holding a permanent exhibition. Each time we make a new exhibit, we hang it.”

Much to the elation of Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman fans worldwide, new material by the dynamic duo is currently being written.

Noted Strawberry historian Peter Wadsworth writes for the Fan Club site about the unveiling of the plaque…

"Yet another warm, sunny day in Stockport and a good number of people gathered at 3 Waterloo Road for the unveiling of the first of the eleven heritage blue plaques recently voted for by the people of Stockport to mark buildings of notable historical interest in the town. Organised by the building's owner, Julien Bromley (whose father owned 3 Waterloo Rd in 1967 when it was first leased out as a recording studio), a number of Strawberry personnel were in attendance, including Peter Tattersall, Richard Scott, and (representing Eric Stewart) Gilly Hewer (who travelled to and from Essex just for the occasion). After browsing a display showing some notable events from Strawberry's history (including a picture from the 60s of Peter T wearing an amazing flowery shirt!), Gilly read out a message from Eric and Peter T then said a few words before everyone trooped outside to watch the official unveiling. All in all, the occasion and the blue plaque are a fitting tribute to the work that Peter and Eric started back in 1967 and a permanent reminder of 10cc's contribution to the town and to the music industry in general."

Read what Val had to say about the two recent concerts Dave and Val went to see by using this link. Val has a little story about an experience they had :

 

Dave got recognised outside the stage door by a groupie. She must have seen his picture on the website, but her husband didn’t sound too pleased when she was shrieking “Dave Dave.”

 

And a Happy Birthday to Val who reaches the ripe old age of ## today.

NEWSFLASH

Graham Gouldman telephoned Dave today to ask him to let you all know that KEVIN GODLEY will be appearing on stage with Graham and the band at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on the 16th March... Kevin will be doing two songs but they’re keeping the titles of the two songs close to their chests at the moment. He also announced that  hopefully Kevin will be joining the band on stage at the St David's Hall in Cardiff on the 9th of March as a bit of a warm up because it is such a long time since Kevin was last on stage. Graham said that Kevin will be doing 1 song at Cardiff.

It is priced very realistically at £49.99, plus postage(one of these sets has already sold on ebay for £102).

Valerie writes…

“The 10cc Official Fan Club can exclusively reveal exciting happenings concerning Graham Gouldman. At the moment he and the rest of the band are busy rehearsing for their upcoming UK tour as well as appearing at various festivals in Denmark. He has also writing again with Daniel Ryan and Ross Copperman.

Graham is hoping that a DVD is on the horizon from the forthcoming UK tour at the Shepherds Bush theatre in London (watch this space)

Talking of this upcoming UK tour there are various dates available to see Graham and friends in concert at different venues around the UK (see our list of tour dates on the latest news page). These shows are usually very popular and promise a very entertaining enjoyable and lively evening. 

We hope to see you there

Val”
