Paul Carrack Sets Concert Album, ‘For One Night Only – Live in London’
by Best Classic Bands Staff
Paul Carrack’s 2-CD set, For One Night Only – Live in London.
Paul Carrack is releasing a concert album recorded at Royal Albert Hall in London on Oct. 24, 2024, in celebration of 50 years of his first hit, “How Long,” recorded with Ace in 1974. For One Night Only – Live in London arrives April 3, 2026, and is available on 2-CDs in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here (where it arrives on March 27).
The concert comprises two halves with Carrack joined by special guests SWR big band and orchestra playing songs from the album Don’t Wait Too Long and the second half featuring Carrack with his own band playing all his big hits. They’re joined on two tracks by a 150-piece choir, Funky Voices. Listen to “The Living Years” and “Tempted” below.
Dubbed by the BBC as “The Man With the Golden Voice,” Carrack’s breakthrough moment came when he wrote and sang “How Long” from his days with Ace. Paul also enjoyed great success as the voice behind numerous hits for other bands, such as “Tempted” during his tenure with Squeeze and “The Living Years” with Mike + the Mechanics.
In recent years, Carrack, who turns 75 on April 22, has concentrated on his solo career, with his frequent, extensive tours. He also has been an occasional member of Eric Clapton’s live band. Carrack has announced 2026 U.K. dates; tickets are available here.
