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 – returns with a 15-date tour in March 2023.
The band line-up comprises Graham, 10cc live band members Iain Hornal and Keith Hayman, and Dave Cobby.
Since Heart Full of Songs last toured the UK in September 2021, Graham has been busy taking 10cc to some of Scandinavia’s and central Europe’s most prestigious concert venues, along with four hugely successful arena events with Toto.
Heart Full of Songs also managed a seven-date tour of Holland.
Meanwhile, the latest project to earn Graham a wealth of media coverage is his new song Floating In Heaven, which caught the attention of Queen’s Brian May, at a crucial time in the history of space exploration. Brian, who has a passion for astronomy and a PhD in astrophysics, worked with Graham to release Floating In Heaven as a single to mark the unveiling to the world of the first astonishing images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope on 12 July. The pair performed the song with a full orchestra at the sixth Starmus convention, held on 5-10 September in Yerevan, Armenia.
Floating In Heaven is also the soundtrack for a YouTube video featuring the images, released by the Space Telescope Science Institute in the US.
