English singer-songwriter and musician Graham Gouldman rose to early fame as a member of 1960s band The Mockingbirds. But by the time the group disbanded in 1966, Graham’s ability as a songsmith had moved centre stage, with hits for Wayne Fontana, Herman’s Hermits, The Yardbirds, The Hollies and Jeff Beck.

 

After a spell song-writing in the United States, he returned to the UK and co-founded 10cc in 1972, co-writing a string of hits such as Rubber Bullets, I’m Not In Love, The Things We Do for Love and Dreadlock Holiday.

 

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. Fellow inductees include Noel Coward, Burt Bacharach, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Elton John and Sting.

 

While fronting the current 10cc live band, Graham also has a four-piece semi-acoustic band – Heart Full of Songs – to perform material from across his song-writing career, including the classic hits, film soundtracks and songs from his solo albums.

Heart Full of Songs...

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 –performing a broad spread of Graham’s song-writing catalogue, including chart hits for 10cc, the Hollies, Herman’s Hermits, the Yardbirds, Jeff Beck and his time in Wax with Andrew Gold.

10cc...

Graham is one of the founding members of the English rock band 10cc, which was formed in 1972. He played multiple roles in the band, including bassist, guitarist, and vocalist. Gouldman was also the primary songwriter for many of the band's biggest hits, such as "I'm Not in Love," "The Wall Street Shuffle," and "Dreadlock Holiday."


10cc had great commercial success throughout the 1970s, selling millions of records worldwide and earning critical acclaim for their unique blend of rock, pop, and experimental music.


Graham continues to perform live with 10cc performing all of the bands greatest hits, along with some exemplary musicians.

“It was an absolute pleasure to meet up again with my friend Gilbert O’Sullivan at last Sunday’s Sunshine Music Festival in Worcestershire where we were on the same bill. Gilbert and I go way back to the time when I produced his album ‘Life And Rhymes’ in 1982. As well as being a songwriter and performer of the highest calibre he also makes an excellent cup of tea” Graham

“ I was delighted to play bass and guitar on the recording of ‘Thank you for being a friend’, the ‘Music For Dementia Thank You Day anthem’ by Tony Christie. I’ve known Tony for many years, and it was while he was recording a song that I had co-written that I got a call from Graeme Pleeth, Tony’s producer, asking me if I’d like to do some backing vocals on the track. I said I would and mentioned that I happened to be with Andrew Gold, and should I bring him along to the session. Well of course he said yes. That is how Tony met Andrew and I think it went someway to him wanting to use Andrew‘s wonderful song ‘Thank you for being a friend’ as the Thank You Day anthem. It was a great track to work on particularly as I met up again with fellow musicians Wix from Paul McCartney’s band, Dan Gillespie Sells from The Feeling and of course Sting. Other players on the track include Nile Rodgers and Abe Laboriel Jr who also plays with Macca. A pretty cool line up. A great song for a great cause." Cheers, Graham
