Graham Gouldman, 10cc co-founder and songwriter of 'For Your Love' and 'I'm Not In Love', plays The Drill with his acoustic band Heart Full of Songs.
Graham Gouldman is playing The Drill on Tuesday 20 October, as part of his Heart Full of Songs tour. If you've never heard the name, you've almost certainly heard the songs: Gouldman was a co-founder of 10cc, but he was writing hits for other bands long before that. In the sixties, he penned 'For Your Love' for The Yardbirds, 'Bus Stop' and 'Look Through Any Window' for The Hollies, and 'No Milk Today' for Herman's Hermits. Then came the 10cc years, with number ones like 'I'm Not In Love' and 'Dreadlock Holiday'.
Heart Full of Songs started over a decade ago as an intimate side project, a way for him to play those songs in their purest acoustic form. Since then it's grown into a four-piece with Keith Hayman, Andy Park and Ben Stone, and the set blends that acoustic warmth with electric energy. It's a good way to hear the songs stripped back, and it's a fair distance from the polished studio versions most of us know.
There's a bit of recent history to him too. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014, named an Icon of the Industry by BMI in 2015, and joined Ringo Starr's All Starr Band in 2018. He also received an MBE in the 2025 King's Birthday Honours. This Lincoln date is one of 18 on his UK tour.
