Carrack and Terry Comer had previously played with Warm Dust, and Alan "Bam" King with Mighty Baby and before that the 1960s band The Action.
Before the recording of their debut album, Five-A-Side,[3] the former drummer of Bees Make Honey, Fran Byrne, replaced Steve Witherington.
Ace eventually moved to the United States, replacing Phil Harris with Jon Woodhead in June 1976,[4] and releasing their third and final album No Strings in January 1977.
The singles didn't chart and Ace disbanded in July 1977, when Carrack, Comer and Byrne all joined Frankie Miller's backing band.
[4] In addition to his solo career, Carrack has since played with Eric Clapton, Nick Lowe, Roger Waters and his The Bleeding Heart Band, Roxy Music for the Manifesto album and tour, Squeeze in the early 1980s, and Mike + The Mechanics, for which he is best known.
