Graham Gouldman Announces Heart Full of Songs Tour for 2026
10cc founding member Graham Gouldman has announced an 18-date UK tour in 2026 for his highly acclaimed semi-acoustic band Heart Full of Songs.
Featuring material from across Gouldman’s catalogue, the set includes 10cc classics I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday, alongside hits such as Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window (The Hollies), For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul (The Yardbirds), No Milk Today (Herman’s Hermits), Bridge To Your Heart (from his time in Wax with the late Andrew Gold), film soundtracks and songs from his solo albums.
The tour will begin on 8 October in Stamford and end at London’s Cadogan Hall on 29 October 2026, with tickets available from the venues and via www.grahamgouldman.info.
Heart Full of Songs initially started out as a vehicle for Graham to play his songs acoustically purely for the pleasure of it, and occasionally opening for 10cc concerts, and quickly evolved into a stand-alone entity.
These days Heart Full of Songs is an acoustic/electric four-piece, with the 2026 tour set to be the biggest yet.
“It is extremely gratifying to do what I love, performing the songs I’ve written or co-written over the years, to audiences who really appreciate them in a semi-acoustic format,” says Gouldman. “With Keith Hayman, Andy Park and Ben Stone we have a fantastic band that presents the songs with passion and to the highest musical standards. I couldn’t ask for more.”
Gouldman’s career took off in 1965 following what turned out to be a blessing in disguise, when record company Columbia rejected his first single composition for his band The Mockingbirds, which featured fellow 10cc founder Kevin Godley on drums. The song, For Your Love, became a huge hit for The Yardbirds.
Working by day in a men's outfitters shop and playing by night with his semi-professional band, Gouldman went on to write a string of hits for other artists, before forming 10cc in 1972 with Godley, Eric Stewart and Lol Creme.
10cc enjoyed a string of Top 10 hits, including three No 1s – Rubber Bullets, I’m Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday – along with Donna (#2), Art For Art’s Sake and Good Morning Judge (both reaching #5), The Things We Do For Love and I’m Mandy Fly Me (#6) and The Wall Street Shuffle (#10), selling more than 30 million albums worldwide.
It’s the enduring popularity of Gouldman’s broad catalogue of work, which includes songs from film soundtracks such as Animalympics and Sunburn, that has led to the increasing number of people wanting to share enjoyment of the songs with the composer.
Gouldman’s reputation as one of the world’s leading songwriters was further enhanced this year when he was awarded an MBE in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours list for services to music.
Also underpinning his position were the guest contributors on Gouldman’s latest album, ‘I Have Notes’, which included Ringo Starr, Brian May, Hank Marvin an Albert Lee.
