    GG is amazing. Wish original 10cc would attempt some new music. They're all still around. At the moment. And wish they'd play some of the old stuff together too. They dabble the old music as individuals (some of them). I can't help wondering if they could still create the magic

    I saw this guy Graham standing there. It was in a late 10cc gig in Amsterdam and he was really ill and has no voice that evening. But Graham is music and always happy into it.Rick Fenn and the others support him through the songs and it made that evening a outstanding performance. THANKS Graham for all your music and never ending idea. I really loved this Word in your attic show!

    FANTASTIC!! This didn't go for long enough....On the 24th September 1977 Graham and all the members of 10cc autographed my copy of Deceptive Bends and that night I saw them at the Perth Entertainment Centre (Western Australia). The range of songs from being in love to a snotty nose and then to a different beak, was excellent. The music for songs like 'Let It Be" and "Yesterday" sound like there was no other notes that could be put together for those lyrics. I would like to see lyrics for a song given to at least four musicians and see what backing music they come up with. Preferably well know musicians like Elton John, Paul McCartney, Graham Gouldman, Adele, Christine McVie etc. Take your pick.

    Another great show. If I had to pick a greatest record of all time Bus Stop by the Hollies would be a serious contender. There was a interesting news item on our regional news program North West Tonight the other night about a lost 10cc demo from the original members. Music for a Revlon cosmetics advertisement that was never used. Recorded at Strawberry Studios and recently restored. Graham looked genuinely surprised it had turned up.

    Another great episode guys. Until recently, I only ever knew Graham as the bass player in 10cc. Now I know he wasn't just that, even in the band! Such a talented guy from the start and just so humble and ordinary about it all, without denying his talent and influences. 'The Worst Band in the World' book is still on my shopping list thanks to WIYA!

    10cc were such a Pop or Joke type band back in the 70's, in the vein of Queen and Elo, mid 70's might be the last time I heard their sounds. It's fascinating to see some folks in the mix remain alive and full of beans enthused by the memories of selling vinyls to the masses back then.

    For all intensive purposes, 10cc was a supergroup, but I’d love to see him teamed up with a of his contemporaries. Maybe a Jeff Lynne, David Gates or a John Woloschuck would be a keen fit as writing partners.
