When&nbsp;10cc co-founder&nbsp;Graham&nbsp;Gouldman&nbsp;formed what became Heart Full of Songs&nbsp;more than a decade&nbsp;ago,&nbsp;it was&nbsp;purely for the pleasure of laying&nbsp;the&nbsp;songs&nbsp;he wrote or co-wrote in&nbsp;their simplest form, acoustically.&nbsp;It started as a&nbsp;three-piece supporting&nbsp;at&nbsp;10cc&nbsp;concerts&nbsp;and&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;evolved into&nbsp;a stand alone entity. These days&nbsp;Heart Full of&nbsp;Songs&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;semi acoustic/electric,&nbsp;four-piece&nbsp;with its&nbsp;next UK tour set&nbsp;for October 2026,&nbsp;comprising 18 concerts&nbsp;and culminating&nbsp;at London’s Cadogan Hall&nbsp;on 29 October.&nbsp;Featuring&nbsp;material from across Graham’s&nbsp;catalogue, the set includes such classics&nbsp;as&nbsp;10cc’s&nbsp;I’m Not In Love&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dreadlock Holiday;&nbsp;Bus Stop&nbsp;and&nbsp;Look Through Any Window, which were hits for The Hollies;&nbsp;For Your Love&nbsp;and&nbsp;Heart Full of Soul&nbsp;(the Yardbirds);&nbsp;No Milk Today&nbsp;(Herman’s Hermits);&nbsp;Bridge To Your Heart&nbsp;from&nbsp;his time&nbsp;with the late Andrew Gold&nbsp;as&nbsp;Wax, along with songs from&nbsp;film soundtracks and&nbsp;his solo albums.&nbsp;Acknowledgement of&nbsp;Graham’s achievements has been growing more widely too, with him&nbsp;awarded an MBE in the&nbsp;2025 King’s Birthday Honours list, for services to music. Also underpinning his&nbsp;position as&nbsp;one of&nbsp;the&nbsp;world’s leading&nbsp;songwriters&nbsp;were the guest contributors&nbsp;on&nbsp;his latest&nbsp;album,&nbsp;I have Notes. They include&nbsp;Ringo Starr, Brian May, Hank Marvin and Albert&nbsp;Lee.

Every previous album by the radiant and heavy French trio SLIFT—brothers Jean and Rémi Fossat and drummer Canek Flores, a friend since high school - has been a fantasia—a composite of genres and forms that allowed the band to improvise, to jam on themes until they seemed to spiral together into space. But, in a bit of intentional irony, SLIFT’s fourth album is called Fantasia without actually being one. It is, instead, their leanest and most direct record, a pointed saga about overcoming international upheaval delivered by a band bearing down without wasting a second. SLIFT didn’t want to lose the message by playing too much. They’re preparing for a battle they think we can still win. As Jean Fossat wrote the core of Fantasia, he thought a lot about Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentinian author whose fiction deftly wove elements of magic and surreality into places and plots that almost felt real. (SLIFT even borrowed the song title “Orbis Tertius” from Borges.) Fantasia, then, is an imagined town plagued by a sense of unknowing and xenophobia, of trying to eliminate anything that disrupts the accepted order. The town comes into focus on “Corrupted Sky,” where Fossat’s narrator tries to dodge doom upon arriving there. Hope starts to emerge during the record’s back half, as people start to remember that they are more than their society’s oppressive uniformity. These eight songs, then, are about trusting in the power to fight back, however hidden it may seem.

Raised on American Roots music in East Tennessee, Daniel Kimbro is a multi GRAMMY-nominated musician with more than 20 years of experience performing, recording, and writing Roots music. As an accompanist Daniel has shared stages and studios with notable artists including Eric Clapton, Jerry Douglas, John Hiatt, The Transatlantic Sessions, Sarah Jarosz, and myriad others. While his recording credits are numerous, it is his new solo album Carpet in The Kitchen that best epitomizes Daniel’s experience as a writer and arranger. This debut collection features stories set to lyrics and chords that evoke Appalachian murder ballads and story-songs rooted in the folk traditions of Scotland, Ireland and England. The opening track ‘Loyston’ remembers the upheaval brought by the displacement of his fellow Appalachians with the construction of the TVA dams, focusing on the inundation of the eponymous town in Northeast Tennessee. Guest appearances on Carpet in The Kitchen include Jerry Douglas on slide guitars, Mike Baggetta (Nels Kline, David Wax Museum) on electric guitar, and Jordan Perlson (Gary Burton, Becca Stevens, Snarky Puppy) on Drumset. Known to listeners across the US, UK and Canada for his work with the folk-blues trio Harley Kimbro Lewis, Daniel continues to tour these regions with Sarah Jarosz, The Jerry Douglas Band, the Earls of Leicester and others. When time allows, Daniel can be found on bodies of water of any size with a fly rod in hand, and he is active in promoting and supporting the Conservation of these watersheds and their colorful constituents.

Back in September 1995, The Herbaliser, a sample-based beatmaking duo (Ollie Teeba &amp; Jake Wherry), released their debut LP, ‘Remedies’, on UK label Ninja Tune. Ollie, a hip hop head and obsessive break hunter and Jake, a lover of all things funky, would dig for samples in diverse crates and had a particular taste for old movie soundtracks, which would become a particular characteristic of their production sound. In no time, they established themselves, as one of the main features of the expanding Ninja Tune crew. The following year, as they were recording their second full length release, ‘Blow Your Headphones’, they expanded their performances to include an 8 piece live band. The live show toured internationally, to great reception from audiences and would become a regular feature at a multitude of electronic, dance, dub and jazz festivals worldwide for the next 2 decades or so. Subsequently, The Herbaliser releases, which, prior to 3rd LP ’Very Mercenary’, were almost entirely made from samples, would begin to incorporate more of the band’s talents, to bring the sound of the studio recordings and the onstage performances closer together. In 2020, the creative partnership that this all began with, came to an end. In 2021 Jake Wherry solely declared The Herbaliser finished, with a very simple statement across the internet that read “The Herbaliser played their last official show in 2021. Thanks for your support over the years.” In 2024, The Herbaliser Band reformed with original members Ralph Lamb (trumpet/flugelhorn), Andrew Ross (tenor/baritone sax-flute), Micah Moody (drums), Patrick Dawes (percussion) with James Morton (Alto Sax), Oliver Parfitt (keyboards), Conor Cotterill (bass) &amp; of course DJ Ollie Teeba on the turntables. With extensive tour dates lined up, The Herbaliser Band will be showcasing their most iconic and well- known material, from the 10 years recording with Ninja Tune (1995- 2005).
