Graham Gouldman is one of Britain’s greatest songwriters. Even before he co-founded the legendary 10cc, he had written songs for The Hollies, Herman‘s Hermits and The Yardbirds. He digs deep into his illustrious back catalogue with those bands – and his post-10cc solo career – on his current UK tour, appropriately titled Heart Full Of Songs.
