Christopher John "Ace" Kefford (born 10 December 1946, Moseley, West Midlands, England) is a bassist and was the co-founder of The Move in October 1965 with Trevor Burton, after meeting David Bowie at Birmingham's Cedar Club, following a performance by Bowie's band Davy Jones and the Lower Third. The duo invited Roy Wood, then Carl Wayne and Bev Bevan to join and complete the classic Move line-up.
After leaving The Move in mid 1968, Kefford embarked on a solo album with record producer Tony Visconti, at the Olympic and Trident studios in London. Eight songs were recorded, including 'Save the Life of My Child', featuring Jimmy Page on guitar. However, Kefford abandoned the project and the album remained unreleased until 2003. Kefford formed The Ace Kefford Stand in 1968, which included guitarist Dave Ball, bassist Dennis Ball and drummer Cozy Powell.
He wrote the song 'William Chalker's Time Machine', the 1968 single by The Lemon Tree.
