    It was a great honour to welcome Bruce Welch backs It was a great honour to welcome Bruce Welch backstage after our Heart Full Of Songs gig at the Cadogan Hall in London last night. When listing my musical influences The Shadows are right up there. Their impact on me and so many others cannot be overstated. Pictured are Iain Hornal, Keith Hayman, Bruce and me.
    It was a delight to meet up with brilliant songwri It was a delight to meet up with brilliant songwriter Gary Osbourne after last night’s Heart Full Of Songs gig at the @ropetackleart in Shoreham. Gary is best known for his songwriting partnership with @EltonJohn amongst many others. He and I are both members of the Sods (The Society Of Distinguished Songwriters). We’re just over half way through our tour and despite some shocking weather along the way it’s been a great success.
    It was a great pleasure to meet up with our 10cc c It was a great pleasure to meet up with our 10cc compadre Paul Burgess who braved the snow and ice to come and see our Heart Full Of Songs show at the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton last night. I’m really appreciative of all those who came to the gig and sorry about those who couldn’t make it due to the adverse weather conditions.

We’ll be gigging all over the world next year and I’m looking forward to seeing you wherever you may be. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Lots of love, Graham
    I was a guest last night at ‘Brian And Robin’s I was a guest last night at ‘Brian And Robin’s Christmas Compendium Of Reason’ at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s a mixture of science comedy and music, which was one of the reasons I was asked to perform ‘Floating In Heaven’, the song I wrote inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope, after which my 10cc band mate @iainhornal joined me to sing "I’m Not In Love"". Other artists appearing were @sophieellisbextor, @thedarkness and @omdhq. It was a great night and a pleasure to meet Brian Cox @profbriancox
    I went to see the wonderful @beth_nielsen_chapman I went to see the wonderful @beth_nielsen_chapman in concert at the Stables Theatre in Wavendon last Tuesday. She had asked me to play bass on the song that we co-wrote with Gordon Kennedy ‘All Around The World’ which is the lead track on her latest album ‘Crazy Town’, and I was very happy to oblige. The song is also on my ‘Modesty Forbids’ album. Here I am pictured with her excellent band before going on stage. From left to right Scott Mulvahill, Ruth Trimble, Beth, Mia Morris and little ol’ me.

It was where I rehearsed as a teenager with The Whirlwinds, a local Manchester band. It also provided a rehearsal space for bands of which both Kevin Godley and Lol Crème were members. So 3/4 of 10cc. The deal was that we would play at the club’s dances for free in exchange for being able to rehearse there for nothing. I’m grateful to the JLGB. Please support this very worthy cause. Graham Gouldman
