Ticket

The Free Trade Hall, best ever large gig venue in Manchester.
Great pop band 10cc. Wrote some of the catchiest songs ever.

“Time blurs the memory but I'm sure this was the Original Soundtrack tour and I was there. Great concert and they played "I'm not in love" live without any tapes (they did use some new fangled thing called a splitter or something like that, which is cheating a little bit) unlike Queen who I saw later on the next year. When Bohemian Rhapsody came on, they went off and left a tape playing!
Best part of the night though was the final number "Rubber Bullets". No diddly dum diddly dum like the record - heavy as it gets just like Status Quo would have played it - brilliant.
I also used to fill Kevin Godley's AC Cobra with petrol everytime he called in to the garage where I worked. Lovely bloke, quite happy to chat, never left a tip! Devastating when you are only 16 and skint!”

“I was at this gig too. I hitch-hiked home from Huddersfield where I was at music college. I've always loved 10cc, and they are still a fantastic live band.”
