10CC’s Graham Gouldman & Heart Full Of Songs

For lovers of perfectly-crafted music performed by the composer, a Heart Full of Songs concert is truly an exquisite experience.

It is only between 10cc’s sell-out, bi-annual UK tours that the band’s co-founder Graham Gouldman is able to fully indulge his Heart Full of Songs project and take it on tour.

As a result, the semi-acoustic four-piece returns with a 16-date tour in March 2025, performing 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.
Since Heart Full of Songs last toured the UK in March 2023, Graham has taking 10cc to some of Scandinavia’s and central Europe’s most prestigious concert venues, as we; as returning to Australia and New Zealand, and undertaking the band’s first US tour in more than three decades/ Meanwhile, Heart Full of Songs also managed a seven-date tour of Holland and a series of intimate gigs around the launch of Graham’s sixth solo album, I Have Notes in July 2024. Guest musicians on the record include Ringo Starr, Brian May, Hank Marvin an Albert Lee.

Graham’s status as one of the world’s leading songwriters was acknowledged in 2014 with his induction into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame – an arm of America’s National Academy of Music.
Previous inductees include Noel Coward, Irving Berlin, Burt Bacharach, Neil Sedaka, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Leonard Cohen and Sting.
Other accolades include America’s Broadcast Music Incorporated declaring him an Icon of the Industry at a special ceremony in London, where he stunned the audience with an acoustic rendition of I’m Not In Love, which he co-wrote, accompanied by Lisa Stansfield on vocals.

Being 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 – was “one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done”, says Graham.

Another event, although not widely known, gave Graham a further lift. It happened backstage at a festival when Robert Plant thanked him for writing one of the songs that got him through the audition to join what became Led Zeppelin. The song was one of his early compositions, For Your Love.

When Graham formed what became Heart Full of Songs 11 years ago, 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.
