Ten

Ten is an English melodic hard rock band formed in Manchester in 1995 by singer-songwriter Gary Hughes. Initially conceived as a solo project, it quickly evolved into a full band with the addition of guitarist Vinny Burns and drummer Greg Morgan. Known for their epic, symphonic hard rock style, the group debuted with their acclaimed 1996 album X and found significant commercial success in Europe and Japan. Over nearly three decades, they have maintained a prolific output, releasing 16 studio albums—including early landmarks like The Name of the Rose, Spellbound, and Babylon—solidifying their reputation as a prominent fixture on the British hard rock scene.
