Accompanied by his dynamic 17-piece orchestra, the man with the voice from heaven will deliver the classics from Porter to Gershwin to Ellington.
PS! My other hot tips for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival include Paris Combo, Dr Trevor Jones, It’s A Sin, Eddie Perfect, Blind Date, & Kate Ceberano with the ASO!

Yes, it’s THE actual band 10cc from the ‘70s performing live in Adelaide!

You know the hits “I’m Not In Love”, “The Things We Do For Love” and of course “Dreadlock Holiday” with its instantly recognisable chorus “I don’t like cricket – I love it!”. 10cc leader and original member Graham Gouldman says “The band is sounding fantastic! Hit after hit after hit. It’s relentless. We show no mercy.” With songs that just don’t date and over 30 million albums sold worldwide, this will be one amazing show!
