    It was a great pleasure to meet up again with my f It was a great pleasure to meet up again with my friend the great Ron Sexsmith after his brilliant gig at the Union Chapel in London last night. Ron and I first met when we performed together on the BBC’s ‘Songwriters Circle’ back in 2011. Since then I became a massive fan of his work. He is a unique talent.

    Wow what a fantastic end to another wonderful Hear Wow what a fantastic end to another wonderful Heart Full Of Songs tour at the Lowry in Salford last night. We played to a brilliant home town crowd and I couldn’t wish for a more fitting end. Thank you to everybody who came to see us and especially those who braved the awful weather. Looking forward to the next time, whenever that may be. Love Graham.

    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.

    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.
    The @jlgbhq or the JLB as it was, played a very im The @jlgbhq or the JLB as it was, played a very important role in my musical life. 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
