    10cc-Sheet Music 40th Anniversary tour

    Band confirm 19 dates for next year to mark 40th anniversary of seminal album
    10cc will perform their classic album Sheet Music on a widespread UK tour next year.

    The art-pop pioneers hit the road for 16 dates in February before a shorter run of three shows in May.

    Sheet Music was released in 1974 and has been hailed as their best work by bassist Graham Gouldman and founding member Kevin Godley.

    Godley will contribute visuals to the upcoming tour, which kicks off in Reading on February 5 and celebrates the album's 40th anniversary. They will perform the record in its entirety before a second set of 10cc classics.

    Led by 10cc co-founder Gouldman, the current line-up has been together for over a decade. Gouldman says: "Year on year we get busier and visit more countries. It's great, we love touring and playing together and the audiences these days are very gratifying. You get the people you would expect, who grew up with 10cc, but you also get young kids who know the songs too.”

    “The songs don’t seem to date. They are original, we never followed any trend, we simply wrote for our own pleasure. The fact that the songs are being played as often on the radio today as they ever were shows how true that is."

    Well... f'ing awesome, except A) not coming to America- hope there will be a DVD and B) Sheet Music is a fantastic album but I wouldn't really want it played in its entirety at the expense of the rest of their catalog. I would hope its a long enough show to incorporate a lot of material. And not to be a stick in the mud; the current band is great but having Godley and Creme back aboard would make this pants-shittingly-I'm-getting-on-a-plane-screw-the-expense awesome. I'd be hornier for that than people were for the Kate Bush shows. But this is still cool.

    In fairness, the current line-up is so jaw-droppingly good, I can't imagine Godley & Creme improving things. However, G & C co-headlining with songs from their own albums - now that would be an event to savour!

    Seen them several times over the past 4-5 years and by and large they always play the same set; good to see they are changing it up a bit

    Saw them on the Original Soundtrack tour. My friend yelled "Neanderthal Man"! and they played a little of it. Always like Sheet Music.
