==1999–present: 10cc touring band, GG/06== [[File:10cc2010.jpg|thumb|10cc on the Swedish show on ''[[Bingolotto]]'' on [[TV4 (Swedish TV channel)|TV4]], September 2010]] In 1999, Gouldman convened a 10cc line-up consisting of himself, Fenn, [[Paul Burgess (musician)|Paul Burgess]], and new recruits Mick Wilson (vocals, guitar) and [[Mike Stevens (saxophonist)|Mike Stevens]] (vocals, keyboards, sax, guitar). This version of the band played their first gig at [[Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club]] in Birmingham and then began touring regularly in 2002. This iteration of the group toured both the UK and overseas, playing 10cc hits plus a section of songs from Gouldman's songwriting career Wax. Wilson handled the majority of the lead vocals, taking over from Eric Stewart on that front. Founding guitarist Lol Creme, discussing his newest live act in 2012, opined: {{quote|author=Lol Creme|text=I understand Graham's need and want to go on the road and tour but maybe he could call the show, 'Graham Gouldman of 10cc' instead of just 10cc. I feel that as things are, the name is quite misleading to the fans. I know that Eric still gets emails from fans who were disappointed that he wasn't at these "10cc" shows. It really gets under his skin. I've still got a lot of respect for Graham and he was certainly an integral part of 10cc."<ref>{{cite web |title=Man on the Moon |work=Low Down: The definitive Liverpool Listings Guide |url=http://www.thelowdownmagazine.com/Man_on_the_Moon-4918.html |access-date=6 February 2019 |archive-date=7 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190207015334/http://www.thelowdownmagazine.com/Man_on_the_Moon-4918.html |url-status=live}}</ref>}} In January 2004, Godley and Gouldman reconvened to write more songs. The band started offering the new songs through their website in 2006 and eventually released the EP ''[[GG/06: EP - 1]]''. A few of the songs were added to the 10cc live set, while the song "Son of Man" later became the opening theme for 10cc shows with Godley providing the video.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAHeXMWaBKs&t=52s|title=#SonOfMan #GG/06 film for #10cc stage intro|date=4 March 2019 |publisher=YouTube|access-date=10 August 2019|archive-date=17 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217190944/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAHeXMWaBKs&t=52s|url-status=live}}</ref> Kevin Godley also joined 10cc live on several occasions.
