Harrogate rock and pop fans are in for a treat when one of the UK’s greatest-ever songwriters tours the UK shortly.

Perhaps most famous for 1970s’ brilliant 10cc, Graham Gouldman will feature hits from his entire career in the Heart Full of Songs show.

The legendary songwriter is bringing his semi-acoustic four-piece with a 16-date tour in March 2025, performing a broad range of his song-writing catalogue, including chart hits for 10cc, the Hollies, Herman’s Hermits, the Yardbirds and, also, from his time in Wax with Andrew Gold.

Graham Gouldman’s status as one of the world’s leading songwriters was acknowledged in 2014 with his induction into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame – an arm of America’s National Academy of Music.
