- Midge Ure starts a UK tour in April (with Band Electronica) and talks here about bands that left an impression and what he’s learnt about live performance. This includes …
… audiences “wanting their pound of flesh”.
… lessons learned from watching Derek Nimmo in panto.
… “cheesy” stage effects - eg Bowie’s mirrorball in Space Oddity.
… Stan Webb of Chicken Shack charging offstage at Green’s Playhouse in Glasgow with a 100 foot guitar lead.
… being “a human jukebox” at Clouds discos playing Jo Jo Gunne and Sparks covers.
… seeing “The Marmalade” at a Radio 1 roadshow when he was 14.
… memories of Taj Mahal, Skid Row, Colosseum and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
… 10,000 people blocking Sauchiehall Street to get tickets for Deep Purple.
… and headliners who didn’t turn up.

This is the old grey whistle test on line
That shows my age
And I don’t care😊
Pete Townshend put together a great one- night only band for The Prince's Trust concert in 1982. It was Midge and Pete on guitars, Phil Collins on drums, and the great Mick Karn on bass. Robert Plant sang a song. Some of it is on RUclips. Check it out.
What a combo
Salvation played my end of year school party at Hermitage academy in Helensburgh.
Midge strikes me as a very level headed person.Inspirational really.Great job gentlemen!
Saw Ultravox live and Midge & Electronica. The Voice & Visions this year. Topped by his 041023 70 concert at the Royal Albert Hall ❤❤. Amazing.
