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.
The semi-acoustic four-piece, 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 – enjoyed their most successful tour to date last March, with the bulk of the 16 concerts sold-out in advance, including London’s 900-capacity Cadogan Hall.
When Graham formed what became Heart Full of Songs 12 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.
