10cc had a special reunion at their London show this week when former member and co-founder Kevin Godley joined the band at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday night (25 March 2024).
Watch the Noise11 interview with Graham Gouldman:
Kevin Godley was a member of Hotlegs with Eric Stewart and Lol Crème (1970-1972) who with the arrival of Graham Gouldman changed their name to 10cc. Hotlegs had a no. 20 hit in Australia with ‘Neanderthal Man’ in 1970 for 10cc was a thing.
Kevin Godley was a member of 10cc from 1972 to 1976 and returned in ’91 and ’92. He was in the band for the first four 10cc albums through to ‘How Dare You’ (1976). Godley & Crème returned to 10cc for one final album ‘…Meanwhile’ in 1992.
After leaving 10cc Godley became a music video director. His works include music videos for U2 ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, Bryan Adams ‘Thought I’d Died and Gone To Heaven’, Blur ‘Girls & Boys’, Sting ‘Fields of Gold’ and The Beatles ‘Real Love’.
As Godley & Crème, Kevin Godley and Lol Crème had a number of hits, most notably ‘An Englishman In New York’ (1979) and ‘Cry’ (1985). 10cc performed ‘Cry’ with Kevin at the London show this week.
FYI: A full 10cc reunion is still possible, all four members, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley, Lol Creme and Eric Stewart are all still with us.
