Ace - How Long -The Best Of Ace (1987)

Ace were born from the remnants of British psychedelic band Mighty Baby and fell into that collection of bands who played their hearts out in small and medium sized venues across Britain. Dr. Feelgood, Brinsley Schwartz, Kilburn and the High Roads to name a few.

Ace was not quite the beginning of Paul Carrack’s career in music but it was the springboard for his future success. In 2015, he played a fine set at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention which included How Long and some of his other hits. He told some stories about his career, including the one alluded to earlier, and he’s not totally lost his Yorkshire accent.
