Singer Paul Carrack is coming to Glasgow as part of a 50th anniversary tour celebrating single How Long. 

The star will perform in the city's  Royal Concert Hall on Sunday, September 15.

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”.

Glasgow Times:

Carrack said: “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.”

The show will take audiences on a journey through Carrack’s musical legacy, a career spanning five decades of music.

Carrack’s career included classic songs such as Tempted by Squeeze, The Living Years, Silent Running by Mike + The Mechanics as well as his own solo hit, Don’t Shed a Tear.

Some of the biggest names in music including The Eagles, Diana Ross and Tom Jones have performed his songs and he is constantly in demand as a session keyboardist, having recorded and toured with Elton John, Van Morrison, Roger Waters, BB King and most recently with Eric Clapton.

Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday at 10am via BookingsDirect.com.
