A musical legacy that spans five decades is something to celebrate, and when that legacy includes a timeless classic like 'How Long,' the occasion becomes truly remarkable. Paul Carrack, the maestro behind this iconic song, is proud to announce the 'How Long' 50th Anniversary Tour.

In 1974, Paul Carrack was in Ace when he wrote and performed 'How Long,' a song that resonated with audiences worldwide. The track reached No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and top 20 on the UK Singles Chart. In a 1981 issue of Smash Hits, Phil Collins named the song one of his top 10 favourites, describing it as a "classic single."

Carrack reflects on the significance of this song, saying, "‘How Long' is probably the first song I wrote. In 1974, I was in a band called Ace in London. It was a fun band, and I wrote the song about a real situation, a situation that many people could relate to. Little did I know that it would become a classic and touch the hearts of so many. 'How Long' is a song that has stood the test of time, and I'm grateful for the journey it has taken me on over these incredible 50 years."
