2 ½ cc.....

10cc’s Graham Gouldman will embark on a run of UK tour dates in March and April 2020 to coincide with the release of his 1st solo album in 8 years. Long established as one of the world’s greatest songwriters, Graham’s 14 date tour with his semi acoustic band Heart Full Of Songs begins in Gateshead on March 19th and ends in Cardiff on April 4th, including a date at London’s Union Chapel on March 26th.

Graham’s new solo album, the 5th of his career, and his first since 2012’s "Love And Work", is scheduled for release on March 20th on British independent record label Lojinx. With 10cc tours enjoying ever increasing success around the world, in 2018 Graham was invited by The Beatles’ drummer Ringo Starr to join his All Starr Band for tours of Europe and the USA, during which the band played 3 10cc songs, elevating Graham’s profile yet further.

That relationship continues, with Ringo making a very special guest appearance on Graham’s new album, playing drums on a song called ‘Standing Next To Me’. Graham said, “Playing with Ringo Starr & The All Starr Band was absolutely brilliant, and having Ringo play drums on one of my new album’s songs was the icing on the cake. The song is about how I came to be asked to join his band, and about my experience of being on the road with Ringo alongside Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Gregg Rolie, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette, who also plays drums on 4 of the album’s tracks”.
