10cc's 'Graham Gouldman & Heart Full of Songs' to tour in March
They've announced 16 UK dates
10cc’s Graham Gouldman and his semi-acoustic four-piece band have announced a 16-date tour, which will get underway in March.
‘A Heart Full of Songs’ will include a broad range of Graham’s song-writing catalogue, including chart hits for 10cc, The Hollies, Herman’s Hermits, The Yardbirds and from his time in Wax with Andrew Gold.
Graham was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame back in 2014 – an accolade saved for the very best talent, such as Burt Bacharach, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Leonard Cohen and Sting.
He’s written (or co-written) huge hits such as ‘For Your Love’, ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘The Things We Do For Love’ and ‘Dreadlock Holiday’.
Graham was invited by Ringo Starr to join his All Starr Band for arena tours of Europe and the USA in 2018 – during which the band played three 10cc songs each night. Graham called it “one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done”.
Graham first formed 10cc in 1972, along with Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Crème. The band had a string of hits – and saw a number of line-up changes over the years. When Graham formed what became ‘Heart Full of Songs’ 11 years ago, he said it was purely for the pleasure of playing his songs in their simplest form, acoustically. The format became so popular that ‘Heart Full of Songs’ now tours the UK every two years, along with concerts and festival appearances in the UK and Europe.
Since its last UK tour in March 2023, Graham has taken 10cc to some of Scandinavia’s and central Europe’s most prestigious concert venues, as well as returning to Australia and New Zealand, and undertaking the band’s first US tour in more than three decades.
‘Heart Full of Songs’ also completed a seven-date tour of Holland and a series of intimate gigs around the launch of Graham’s sixth solo album ‘I Have Notes’. Guest musicians on the record include Ringo Starr, Brian May, Hank Marvin an Albert Lee.
