ONE of the hardest-working figures in modern music, Paul Carrack is all set to take to the stage again later in the year for his latest tour, celebrating over five decades in the music business.
The former vocalist of Mike and The Mechanics and the voice behind hits such as How Long by Ace, Squeeze’s Tempted and, of course, the timeless classic The Living Years Carrack is now firmly established as a solo performer.
Initially finding fame with Ace and Roxy Music, he has gone on to enjoy a successful career that spans 40 years, including guest appearances on over 60 albums, as well as writing for The Eagles, Diana Ross, TomJones, Michael McDonald and Jools Holland among others.
Over the past decade or so Paul has worked increasingly in his own right on many solo albums.
His current album Good Feeling came out in September 2012.
And last year BBC4 screened The Man With The Golden Voice - a programme that documented Paul’s emergence from his Sheffield upbringing to the star he is today!
Paul also recently toured the US, the UK and Europe as a member of Eric Clapton’s band.
